35 Totara Avenue, Golden Bay, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

Totara Avenue is a hidden gem, known for its natural beauty, tranquillity & strong sense of community. Located near the stunning attractions of Pakawau, Puponga, Farewell Spit, Collingwood & Wharariki Beach, it offers the best of both seclusion & accessibility. Nestled in the totara forest, this charming bach offers panoramic views from Puponga to Farewell Spit & across to Collingwood. Enjoy these views from the expansive deck, featuring built-in seating & a spa pool at the front of the bach. The original dwelling was reimagined by Arthouse Architects, blending contemporary design with the coastal setting. Large sliding glass doors maximize the views, while a custom MAKE kitchen & oak flooring bring warmth to the open-plan living & kitchen area. Modern insulation & double-glazed joinery (except the entrance door) ensure year-round comfort. The main bedroom opens off the living area, offering the same spectacular outlook. A second bedroom sits behind the kitchen, along with a spacious bathroom featuring underfloor heating. A Studio log burner provides warmth on cooler evenings. Behind the main bach, an elevated 35sqm Min Hall-designed treehouse offers a peaceful retreat. The main bedroom's windows frame the totara forest. The entry room has a bunk bed with storage, leading to a stylish tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower & underfloor heating. Beneath the front deck, a secure storage shed keeps kayaks, paddleboards, & gear safe & dry. The home is connected to the Totara Avenue Water Scheme, with a small backup tank for emergencies. The main bach has electric water heating, while the treehouse is powered by gas. A newly installed septic system, serviced annually, runs drip lines through the forest. This property is a treasure, where countless magical moments have been made and many more await. Contact me today to arrange a viewing & experience the magic for yourself!
