136 Stafford Drive, Ruby Bay, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

Welcome to waterfront living at its finest in Ruby Bay. Absolute beachfront properties in this tightly held location are seldom offered, making this an exceptional opportunity to secure your place in one of the region’s most desirable coastal settings. Cast a line from your own frontage, wander the shoreline at sunset, and watch orca and dolphins glide through the bay - nature’s theatre unfolding before you.

This beautifully modernised three-bedroom home combines relaxed coastal charm with contemporary comfort. Copper spouting and a low maintenance plaster with cavity exterior not only enhances the aesthetics of the home but enables extended durability. The master suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with stunning sea views, a spacious walk-in robe, and a private ensuite. Double glazing, quality insulation, and Scandinavian style log burner create a warm and inviting environment in every season. A multifunctional hot water cylinder gains heat from dedicated solar tubes, also boosted by the log burner with electricity as a standby. The kitchen, positioned to capture sweeping bay views, makes cooking and entertaining a delight, while expansive decking areas provide significant indoor/outdoor flow inviting long summer evenings with family and friends.

Set well back from Stafford Drive, the home enjoys a quiet, sheltered position where the sounds of the ocean take centre stage. Triple garaging and generous off-street parking provide plenty of room for vehicles, a boat, or beach toys. Established fruit trees and a substantial vegetable garden add both beauty and practicality to the grounds.

Near the water’s edge, a stand-alone studio with shower and toilet enhances the property’s versatility. One internal bedroom, with independent access and the ability to be closed off with the main bathroom, offers excellent potential for guest accommodation or Airbnb income.

A short drive or leisurely walk connects you to Mapua Village and the renowned Mapua Wharf — a vibrant hub of cafés, galleries, and community life. Waterfront properties in Ruby Bay are tightly held for good reason. Secure the lifestyle others only dream about.
