Set high above Tasman Bay, this remarkable Wakapuaka holding offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, and proximity to Nelson City. Currently the only property of its kind on the market, it presents an extraordinary opportunity—whether you envision a private lifestyle retreat, a nature-based sanctuary, a luxury wilderness or eco-lodge, or future subdivision potential.
From its elevated coastal ridges, sweeping views extend across Tasman Bay to the Abel Tasman National Park, Separation Point and Farewell Spit, with Mt Taranaki visible on clear days. This is a place that inspires calm and creativity—yet remains just a short drive from Nelson City Centre and Nelson Airport.
A rare landholding of scale and diversity held in two titles, the property comprises:
· 207.7766... hectares (513 acres) of pristine land featuring a large catchment area with mature native forest in sheltered gullies, regenerating native bush throughout, and a prime coastal ridge offering breathtaking panoramic views.
· 0.2308 hectares (just over half an acre) at the valley floor, located at the property entrance directly off State Highway 6—only 10 minutes from Nelson.
Despite its convenience, the property feels a world away, offering complete privacy and a deep connection to nature.
Endless lifestyle and development potential and organically managed for over 30 years, this land has been cared for without toxic sprays and offers a wealth of existing infrastructure and consents, making it suitable for immediate enjoyment or long-term vision.
Key features include:
· Spring-fed water supply from a native bush-clad valley, with an established creek water system and existing resource consents
· Existing small cottage
· Resource consents approved for a 12-title subdivision, including required earthworks
· Approximately 10km of existing roading, providing excellent access throughout the property
· Multiple elevated and partially formed building sites
· Rock and gravel resources on site
· Stunning sea views across Tasman Bay and tranquil valley looking towards D’Urville Island
· Extensive lowland podocarp forest, including large matai, tawa and nikau palms with miro, totara, rimu and beech species also present. All surrounded by kanuka forest.
· Preschool and primary schools nearby, with bus services to Nelson intermediate and high schools
· Northerly aspect ensuring excellent sun exposure
· Tennis courts, country club, and community hall just along the road
A rare opportunity to create something truly special across 207 hectares of breathtaking coastal and native landscape. Properties of this scale, beauty, and proximity to Nelson are seldom offered. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure an exceptionally private and inspiring slice of paradise.
