Paradise in Golden Bay

Charming cottage & land available

for sale or swapBordering with the Kahurangi National Park, close to the Farewell Spit and stunning Wharariki Beach, this 5.14 ha property in Golden Bay is the perfect creative re-treat, development opportunity, self-sufficiency paradise, or building site for your dream home. This superbly presented cottage with light and shade in perfect bal-ance is perfect for those looking to get away from the bustle of modern life. Set amongst native bush, with a small creek nearby, this charming kiwi bach, reno-vated to high standard, could be your home away from home.

Simple in design, it offers all the comforts of home, with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living area, and outdoor decking. The tasteful furnishings and artworks are optional extras. The kitchen has a gas stove and beautiful pure water. The wood-burner has a wetback for the winter months, and there is a califont heater for hot water in the summer. This property is off-grid; candlelight lends an atmosphere of times gone-by, but solar or wind power could be harnessed easily and there is a generator for power if required. The bach has been completely renovated since the owners bought it four years ago. Light streams in through the newly installed windows and three skylights. The honey coloured wood floor and the clean white walls make for a very stylish Kiwiana bach.

For those wanting a more opulent abode, there are plenty of possible house sites to choose from, es-pecially on the front field where you will find stun-ning views to Old Man Range and glimpses of the Farewell Spit and Golden Bay.

The block is mostly in pasture and has perime-ter fencing. It is easily accessible off Wharariki Road via McGowan Street and a right of way through another block. The nearby settlement of Puponga is the most northerly in Golden Bay, located near the base of the Farewell Spit, and is just 15 minutes to Collingwood and 35 min-utes to Takaka.

This is a hikers paradise within minutes of the leg-endary Wharariki Beach and the Farewell Spit. Stunning trails through the national park abound. Surfers come from all over to ride the waves on nearby beaches. This area is a popular tourist desti-nation for hikers and lov-ers of nature, but tucked away in the bush and very private.

The property has two substantial streams run-ning through it and either of these can be used as a water source with pristine water flowing straight out of the National Park.

There are dozens of op-tions for the right people who want to take on this beautiful place. Whether its a quiet artist's retreat, a holiday bach, a tourism business, a small farm, or just the perfect place to build the dream home and graze horses, this really is an extraordinary opportu-nity.

Asking price $375,000 including GST. Swaps or trades in Auckland or Wel-lington considered.
