Architectural Serenity In Native Bush

Tucked deep within pristine native bush, 542 Moetapu Bay Road captures the true essence of Marlborough Sounds living, a peaceful sanctuary where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony.

Thoughtfully designed to maximise its elevated position, the home frames water and sweeping mountain vistas through expansive, carefully positioned windows, while a series of decks offer sheltered spaces to follow the sun throughout the day. The exterior's blend of cedar and coloursteel sits beautifully within the landscape, while inside warm wooden floors, ply ceilings, and Velux skylights create an inviting, light-filled atmosphere enhanced by double glazing. Birdsong and Cicadas provide the daily soundtrack, reinforcing the sense of calm and seclusion.

The west-facing open-plan living area becomes the natural heart of the home, glowing with sunlight from morning through evening and flowing effortlessly outdoors, ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection.

Accommodation includes two generous double bedrooms, one opening to its own private deck and the other with bifold doors, plus a single bedroom with a Velux skylight and a dedicated office or study.

Two bathrooms add practicality, while additional features include a single garage with workshop, storage room beneath the home, multiple garden sheds, protected vegetable gardens, and fruit trees.

Despite its tranquil setting, convenience remains close at hand, just 19 minutes to the Queen Charlotte Tavern for lunch, dinner or takeaway fish and chips, approximately 30 minutes to Havelock, and around an hour to central Blenheim, or around one hour fifty minutes to Nelson.

This is more than a home; it is a lifestyle opportunity where new owners can slow the pace, embrace the beauty of the Sounds, and create lasting memories for years to come. Contact Martyn or Katie to arrange your viewing.
