A Home Shaped by Art, Light, and Legacy

There is an unmistakable difference between a house that simply occupies a site and one that truly belongs to it.

Designed and built as the retirement residence of celebrated New Zealand potter Jack Laird, co-founder of Waimea Pottery and one of the defining figures of Nelson's internationally recognised studio pottery movement, 184A The Ridgeway is a home where architecture, artistry and everyday living exist in remarkable harmony.

Laird carefully positioned the home to capture maximum northern sun, a decision that continues to define the experience of living here. A fully enclosed conservatory, passive concrete masonry wall, Metro wood burner, heat pump, heat transfer system and excellent cross ventilation create exceptional comfort throughout every season.

Inside, soaring raked ceilings, exposed cedar beams and high clerestory windows fill the open plan living spaces with natural light and volume. Sliding doors open to a sheltered pergola surrounded by established gardens, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out.

The productive grounds offer an abundant harvest of lemon, clementine, lime, feijoa, Italian plum and grapevines, complemented by rosemary, herb and vegetable gardens. Here, the journey from garden to table is woven into the rhythm of daily life, reflecting a slower, more intentional way of living.

The home's artistic legacy remains beautifully preserved through original handcrafted ceramic tile murals by Jack Laird, including a finely detailed Tuscan streetscape and expressive kitchen artwork. Together with the former pottery studio, now offering exceptional flexibility as guest accommodation, a creative workspace, home office or consulting room, the property carries a provenance that is genuinely rare.

Three bedrooms, a generous family bathroom, laundry alcove, additional toilet and versatile office space provide flexibility for families, guests or those working from home, while the internal access garage and off-street parking complete the practical appeal.

Just moments from the historic beauty of Isel Park and within easy walking distance of Stoke's shops, cafés, supermarkets, library and medical facilities, the location balances peaceful living with everyday convenience.

Well maintained and deeply cherished, 184A The Ridgeway is far more than simply a home. It is a rare opportunity to own a property where thoughtful design, artistic heritage and a wonderful lifestyle come together in one remarkable setting.
