70 North Road, The Wood, Nelson, Nelson / Tasman

Set on an expansive 1,186sqm section, this 4-bedroom home delivers space, sunshine and rare privacy this close to town. Positioned in the quiet North Road cul-de-sac, the setting feels peaceful, sheltered and wonderfully private — a calm retreat tucked within one of The Wood’s most desirable pockets. The gardens are their own sanctuary — lush planting, fruit trees, vege beds and wide lawns where kids, pets and adults can roam. A wood-fired pizza oven, citrus and grapevines elevate outdoor living, creating a setting that feels both abundant and deeply calming.

Inside, warmth is immediate thanks to a modern wood burner with a heat-transfer system sending cosy comfort to all bedrooms. Light-filled living spaces flow easily: the main lounge with timber shelving and fresh carpet, a relaxed dining zone, and a sunny second living/sunroom opening to the deck for effortless indoor–outdoor enjoyment.

The kitchen blends personality and function with timber counters, colourful tilework, storage, modern appliances and a clear outlook to the deck for easy hosting. All bedrooms enjoy garden views, with the master capturing morning sun. The renovated bathroom feels crisp and contemporary with a separate shower, bath, dual windows and a separate toilet. A large laundry with exterior access adds practical convenience.

The covered pergola deck invites year-round use, stepping into distinct garden zones: sprawling lawn, productive beds, citrus, an outdoor oven and pathways winding through mature planting. At the rear, a separate garage/workshop–hobby room adds impressive versatility, complemented by a carport and ample off-street parking for vehicles, boats or trailers.

You’re moments from Maitai River trails, the Botanics, the Centre of New Zealand walk, Founders Park, excellent schools and an easy stroll or cycle to Nelson city.

A property offering this much space, privacy, quiet, and lifestyle flexibility in The Wood is a rare find — a home where you can truly settle in, unwind and live remarkably well.
