403 Wakefield Quay, Stepneyville, Nelson, Nelson / Tasman

A Panoramic Coastal Holding of Rare Scale and Position

Set above the shoreline in one of Nelson’s most tightly held waterview enclaves, Stafford House presents a rare convergence of scale and position. Three adjoining titles offer multiple possibilities, or simply enjoy as one large estate.

The residence is both generous and refined, having been meticulously restored to offer immediate comfort while preserving its architectural integrity. Light-filled living spaces open effortlessly to expansive coastal views, creating a seamless dialogue between interior and landscape.

What elevates this offering beyond the exceptional is the inclusion of two adjoining vacant titles. With services already in place, the sites are poised for building consent application, the opportunity to create additional residences in such a tightly held coastal setting is increasingly rare.

Elevated and sun-drenched, all three titles command sweeping views across Tasman Bay to Haulashore Island and intimate views of the harbour entrance below. Together, they offer a remarkable sense of privacy, scale, and control over the surrounding environment — qualities seldom found in premium waterfront locations.

From the property, the water’s edge is a short walk away, offering effortless access to swimming, boating, and coastal walks. Nelson’s vibrant dining scene, galleries, and airport are nearby, while the wider region provides access to national parks, lakes, vineyards, and some of New Zealand’s most celebrated landscapes.

For international and domestic buyers alike, the appeal is both lifestyle-led and strategic. New Zealand’s enduring reputation for stability and natural beauty, combined with Nelson’s climate and coastal sophistication, continues to underpin long-term value.

Importantly, this is not simply a significant coastal landholding, but a compelling value proposition. Comprising a magnificently renovated residence on its own title, together with two prepared vacant sections, the property carries a combined council valuation of $4,500,000. Priced at $3,250,000, it represents an uncommon opportunity to secure a multi-title waterview holding that is not only a remarkable place to live, but a considered and enduring investment.
