33 Highview Drive, Wakatu, Nelson, Nelson / Tasman

Set in a peaceful, elevated location with wide views across the hills and out to the sea, this polished, architecturally designed home offers space, privacy, and a serene sense of retreat that’s easy to love. Double-glazed and well insulated, it features contemporary interiors with a calming aesthetic, two decks for effortless open-air living, and landscaped gardens with specimen trees, and striking tropical plantings.

The upper-level living zone includes a sleek, modern kitchen, appointed with a Bosch pyrolytic oven, induction cooktop, integrated dishwasher, and generous pantry storage. A sunny dining area sits alongside, while the lounge features a cedar TV alcove and heat pump — ideal for cosy movie nights. Sliders open to the covered upper deck, where glass balustrades frame uninterrupted views — a perfect spot for morning coffee and birdsong. A guest WC with tiled flooring is also located on this level.

All three double bedrooms are downstairs, carpeted for comfort, with scenic garden and hillside views. The idyllic main suite features a custom double robe and a luxurious tiled ensuite with a bespoke vanity, opening via triple glass sliders to a lower wraparound deck and garden. The stylishly detailed, tiled family bathroom includes a walk-in shower, freestanding bath, and direct access to one of the other bedrooms. Also on this level is a generous built-in laundry, discreetly tucked behind bi-fold doors.

The garden is a highlight, blending careful planting with the site’s natural beauty - abundant fruit trees, a vegetable plot, paths, gabion walls, even a fire pit area! There’s a spacious double garage with ply-lined walls and extra parking on the driveway.

Just minutes from Nelson, Richmond, the beach, and cycle trails, this home is a private sanctuary — close to everything, yet a world away. Come and experience it for yourself.
