Takaka, Tasman
Price by Negotiation
On the edge of Takaka, where Golden Bay’s natural beauty feels both dramatic and intimate, lies a property that invites possibility without asking you to start from scratch. This is an established estate thoughtfully developed, carefully enhanced, and ready to serve whatever vision the next custodian chooses to bring to life. Set within an extraordinary landscape of mature gardens, productive fruit trees, marble karst rock formations, clear streams and a remarkable natural cave adorned with stalactites, cave coral and glow worms, the setting is immersive and quietly magical. It’s a property that feels removed from the everyday, yet remains accessible and highly functional. At the entrance of the estate sits a modern, spacious main home designed for relaxed living and entertaining. Three generous bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom and an expansive open-plan living space create a welcoming centrepiece, while seamless indoor–outdoor flow connects the home to private, all-season outdoor living areas framed by established landscaping. This residence anchors the property comfortable, contemporary, and perfectly positioned. Complementing the main home is a separate two-bedroom dwelling, ideal as a manager’s residence, extended family accommodation, or a private guest house. Its independence adds flexibility to the property’s layout, supporting a range of lifestyle or income-generating uses without compromising privacy. Further across the estate are five beautifully presented, fully self-contained studio units. Thoughtfully positioned to ensure tranquillity and separation, these studios lend themselves naturally to guest accommodation, creative retreats, long-term living, or hosting visitors who value privacy within a shared environment. Their configuration allows for immediate use, while also leaving room for future reimagining. Rounding out the property is a collection of sheds, workshops and additional outbuildings that quietly underpin the estate’s functionality. Whether used for storage, hobbies, maintenance, or adapted for new purposes, these structures enhance the property’s practicality and long-term adaptability. This is a property with substance already established, deeply connected to its environment, and capable of evolving in many directions. Whether envisioned as a private sanctuary, boutique accommodation offering, multi-generational haven, or a lifestyle-based business with room to grow, the framework is here, waiting for the next chapter. A rare opportunity in Golden Bay, where imagination is inspiredc not required to rebuild from scratch. Contact Graham Fielding at Bayleys to arrange a private viewing.
