39 Dawson Road, Upper Moutere

Tucked back off desirable Dawson Road, this property is nestled in a quiet rural setting where peace and privacy abound. Beautifully sited to maximize the Nelson sunshine and softly undulating pastoral surrounds, this is the perfect place to relax in the comforts of a warm, modern home, located in one of New Zealand’s most spectacular regions.

The house has been well designed for ease of living – open plan living areas flow beautifully to the outdoor space, where you can relax in total privacy and enjoy all day sun. A separate lounge with wood burner can be closed off from the family rooms if desired. A double garage is complemented by off-street parking for a camper, boat, or visitors. Low maintenance grounds include native plants, gardens, mature trees and a lawn that meanders around the property providing space for an orchard, to let the children roam, develop as you wish, or simply enjoy as is.

Just 4km from the coastal village of Mapua, ideal family living abounds - it's zoned for Mapua school and the playgrounds, tennis courts and scout hall are 5 minutes drive away. Browse the shops and art galleries, wander the Mapua Wharf along the swirling azure water of the Waimea Estuary, enjoy restaurants, cafes and bars. Join the cycleways and explore the Ruby Bay coast, then meet a winemaker at his cellar door for a wine tasting that the area is famous for, and dine alfresco in the leafy vineyards.

Nelson City is an easy 30 minute drive away, and you’re halfway to the stunning Abel Tasman National Park – with its golden beaches and lush native bush, the Abel Tasman Coast Track is one of NZ’s Great Walks, where you can swim in Cleopatra’s pool, slide down the moss-lined waterslide, kayak in crystal clear waters, and watch the seals frolic.

For professional couples looking to unwind, city dwellers longing to escape, families wanting space for children to roam, retired farmers to whom that ‘country feel’ is paramount, or those looking to secure the ultimate Kiwi dream; you need to view!
