11 Heron Grove, Richmond, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

For the first time ever on the market, this exceptional architect-designed home offers a rare chance to secure one of Richmond’s most distinguished properties. Privately positioned in an exclusive cul-de-sac, just moments from Richmond’s schools, supermarket and town centre, this is a residence that truly stands apart for its scale, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality.

Set on a beautifully landscaped 1,432sqm section with superb street presence and a grand schist-accented entrance, the home spans approximately 340sqm of high-end living, meticulously designed by Daines Matz and brought to life by Toby Gaskin Master Builders.

The entry is nothing short of impressive, featuring a gabled porch with exposed beams, schist columns, and Indian stone tiled steps leading to custom-made American white oak double doors with copper panels. Inside, a grand gabled entry hall with marble flooring, basalt inlays and underfloor heating sets the tone for the exceptional quality throughout.

The expansive lounge, with its soaring gabled ceiling, features a magnificent schist chimney fireplace with a solid timber mantle and built-in cabinetry on either side, an inviting centrepiece for relaxed evenings. The polished American white oak flooring flows seamlessly to the dining area, where glazed doors spill out to the sun-drenched patio.

A standout of this home, the vast kitchen and breakfast room is bathed in natural light from skylights overhead. The oversized island bench with dual stainless-steel sinks makes the perfect hub for family life and entertaining. Premium finishes, generous storage and polished white oak flooring complete this superb space.

The master suite is privately positioned at the western end and offers a luxurious retreat with a gabled ceiling, heat pump, walk-in wardrobe and a travertine marble ensuite featuring dual sinks, heated mirrors, a walk-in glass shower, and full underfloor heating. Two further double bedrooms with coved ceilings are serviced by a fully tiled second bathroom with a walk-in shower, along with a separate toilet featuring a built-in sink unit. A spacious office, fitted with custom American white oak cabinetry, offers incredible versatility and could easily serve as a fourth bedroom.

The laundry is well-appointed with a stainless-steel sink and custom laminated timber joinery. The extra-large double garage is fully lined in varnished marine plywood and includes fluorescent lighting, rear garden access, a workshop with shelving, a workbench and two vices, plus a third toilet.

Professionally landscaped gardens are a private sanctuary featuring Indian stone paving, a schist arched feature wall, gas and power points, mature specimen trees, raised vegetable beds, a large timber shed, double-gated side access, and multiple lawn areas, including two feature pin oaks and a pistachio tree by the steps. A stone-sealed driveway framed by a timber pergola leads to the garage, while the schist-built letterbox completes the home’s commanding presence.

With its timeless architecture, uncompromising craftsmanship, and private, prestigious setting, 11 Heron Grove represents a once in a generation opportunity to secure an extraordinary Richmond home that stands proudly among the very best in the region.
