luxury apartments / penthouses for sale Nelson, New Zealand

Rarely does a property offer this much land, privacy, lifestyle opportunity, and future flexibility just a 6-minute drive from Nelson City Centre. Set across 7.23 hectares in the picturesque and sheltered Maitai Valley, this property offers the space and tranquillity of a private lifestyle retreat, along with genuine long-term land value, all within easy reach of the city. Surrounded by established trees and thoughtfully planted grounds, the setting feels calm and secluded, with birdsong and the natural landscape creating a peaceful environment to come home to. The property enjoys exceptional privacy, while Nelson’s cafés, restaurants, schools, and waterfront remain only minutes away, offering a seamless balance between lifestyle and convenience. The home has been designed for relaxed family living, with generous proportions and an abundance of natural light throughout. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape and create a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living. The layout is both practical and flexible, offering five bedrooms, a dedicated media room, and multiple living areas including a separate family lounge. This allows space for families to come together while still providing areas for quiet retreat. Outdoor living is a standout feature of the home. The swimming pool sits beautifully within easy-care landscaped grounds and open lawn areas, creating an inviting space for summer entertaining, family gatherings, or simply unwinding in Nelson’s sunshine. The grounds surrounding the home are well suited to a relaxed lifestyle, whether that includes children playing freely, hosting guests, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Beyond the immediate home setting, the land offers both lifestyle appeal and future versatility. There is space for those wanting to embrace a more self-sufficient way of living, with room for animals such as sheep or chickens, along with gardens or orchards if desired. At the same time, the property provides scope for further enhancement and flexibility moving forward. One might consider adding features such as a tennis court, basketball court, or additional accommodation such as a granny flat or guest space, subject to council approval. Adding to the property’s appeal, resource consent is granted to subdivide the land into two, providing outstanding flexibility. Proposed Lot 1 comprises approximately 1.39 hectares and includes the home, swimming pool, and surrounding grounds, while Proposed Lot 2 comprises approximately 5.8 hectares of land. This presents an opportunity for purchasers to acquire the property as a whole, or alternatively purchase either the house and grounds or the land portion separately, depending on individual requirements and future plans. The subdivision creates flexibility for those seeking a private lifestyle property, a landholding opportunity, or a combination of both. The location further enhances the appeal. The Maitai Valley is well known for its proximity to outdoor recreation, including walking and mountain biking trails, the Maitai River for summer swims and dog walks, and a nearby golf course. Nelson Airport is approximately a 17-minute drive away, making travel convenient for those coming from Auckland or further afield. The wider region also offers easy access to some of New Zealand’s most desirable destinations, including the Marlborough Sounds, Nelson Lakes, and the beaches of Golden Bay. This is a property that offers not just a home, but a lifestyle that is increasingly sought after and seldom found so close to Nelson. *Boundary lines indicative only
