Slice of Heaven!

Tucked into the folds of the Marlborough Sounds, this is the kind of place that quietly rewires your idea of home. Mornings begin slower here, with birdsong drifting through the trees and the tide setting the rhythm of the day. Just ten minutes from Linkwater yet feeling wonderfully removed, this Mahau Sound retreat offers that rare balance of seclusion and connection, where weekends stretch out and time seems to soften around the edges.

Inside, the home stays true to its 1970s McRae McRaeway A frame origins, full of character, warmth and thoughtful design. Spread across two levels, there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it ideal for family, friends and long summer stays. The lower level features two bedrooms and the main living spaces, with kitchen, dining and living areas flowing easily throughout, supported by a practical bathroom combined with the laundry. Upstairs, three further bedrooms sit alongside a second bathroom, with the master opening out to its own private balcony where views of the surrounding water and landscape can be enjoyed. Being sold fully furnished, the house feels immediately welcoming, as though it has been waiting for its next chapter to begin.

Outside, the setting really comes into its own. Multiple decking areas on the lower level invite you to follow the sun throughout the day, while the 2047 square metre section is largely flat, easy care and wonderfully usable. There are raised vegetable gardens and a greenhouse for those who enjoy growing their own, along with a large separate tandem garage, an additional single garage and a drive through driveway that makes storage and access effortless. Everything has its place here, without ever feeling overworked or overdone.

And then there is the lifestyle. A gentle two minute walk leads you to a private beach and the waterfront, perfect for launching a kayak, taking a quiet morning stroll or simply sitting with a coffee as the Sounds unfolds in front of you. The property benefits from both road and boat access, adding a layer of practicality to its peaceful location. With Havelock just half an hour away and Picton within fifty minutes, this is a home that offers escape without isolation. There is nothing left to do but arrive, unpack and let the Marlborough Sounds do the rest.
