Ruby Bay, Tasman
Price by Negotiation
Set in an elevated and remarkably private position overlooking Ruby Bay, this rare 1940s character home captures sweeping views across the bay to Nelson; views that are protected and simply cannot be built out. Framed by established trees and mature planting, the home enjoys a sense of seclusion that is seldom found in such an open coastal setting. Lovingly maintained by its current owners, it presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a tightly held coastal property in one of Tasman’s most desirable and protected locations. From the moment you arrive, the home’s warmth and authenticity are unmistakable. Polished hardwood floors, wooden panel walls, and original timber window frames speak to its heritage, while thoughtful updates ensure comfort without compromising character. Natural light fills the living spaces, enhanced by a large skylight above the dining area, creating a bright and uplifting atmosphere throughout. The flexible layout offers three generous bedrooms plus a dedicated office, ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. Each bedroom opens directly to the deck, inviting seamless indoor-outdoor living while maintaining a wonderful sense of privacy thanks to the established greenery that surrounds the home. Wake to expansive sea views and morning sun, with the comfort of knowing you are quietly tucked away from neighbouring properties. A freestanding log burner anchors the living space, providing both ambience and year-round comfort. Life here is as much about what you hear as what you see - the gentle sound of waves rolling onto Ruby Bay beach, kererū and tūī in the trees, bellbirds at dawn, and hawks and gulls gliding over the water on the afternoon sea breeze. Beautifully positioned, the home enjoys cooling coastal breezes while remaining sheltered from prevailing northerlies. Set across two titles within Rural Residential zoning, the property offers both protection from overdevelopment and intriguing future flexibility. All essential services are in place, with three water sources available: mains supply, a rainwater tank, and a well on the lower section. The separate title provides potential scope for additional improvements (subject to council requirements and consents), adding another compelling layer to an already outstanding offering. Established gardens and layered planting create sheltered, usable outdoor spaces despite the elevated setting. Thoughtfully designed to maximise both outlook and privacy, there are multiple areas to relax, entertain, or simply take in the view in complete seclusion. Dual access from Korepo Road and Pomona Road, along with three entry routes into the street, enhances both convenience and accessibility. A single carport, double workshed, and generous off-street parking complete the practical appeal. Rare, protected, private, and positioned for both lifestyle and long-term value, 6 Korepo Road is a compelling opportunity in tightly held Ruby Bay. With its character, integrity, coastal outlook, zoning advantages, and future flexibility, this is a property that rewards vision.
