Luxury Villa and rural lifestyle living

Discover a home that embodies timeless grandeur and refined rural living. Built in 1910, this beautifully restored villa showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era, elevated with modern comforts to create a truly distinguished residence.

From the moment you step inside, the home’s character shines through: rimu floors and doors, high stud ceilings, and timber joinery frame every room with warmth and authenticity. Thoughtful renovations - including full rewiring, elegant character lighting, and a striking chandelier in the formal lounge - bring a sense of luxury to the home’s historic charm.

Offering four spacious bedrooms and two well appointed bathrooms (including a family bathroom with a spa bath and tiled shower), the home provides generous proportions throughout. Two separate lounges deliver versatility: a grand formal living room ideal for hosting, and an open plan kitchen/dining/living space anchored by a wood burner for relaxed, atmospheric evenings. A charming reading nook adds an intimate touch to the home’s expansive layout.

Set on a flat 1,765 square metre section, the property offers a private, park like environment with established fruit trees - quince, tangelo, plum, grapefruit, and apricot - creating a lush, productive landscape. The deck/patio provides a serene spot for morning coffee or evening wine, while the tandem garage offers excellent space for vehicles, bikes, and lifestyle equipment.

Positioned in a peaceful rural pocket of Motueka, the home offers a sense of retreat while remaining close to everything that defines the region’s lifestyle appeal. The Great Taste Trail runs along the boundary, scenic reserves and parks are within walking distance, and you’re just a short drive from Kaiteriteri Beach and the Abel Tasman National Park. Motueka’s strong community spirit and relaxed pace of life make this an exceptional place to call home.

A rare offering of scale, character, and luxury - this villa is perfectly suited to those seeking a refined lifestyle property with soul, history, and presence.
