This charming waterfront home offers you a rare opportunity to enjoy a unique lifestyle in the Marlborough Sounds. The beautiful Scandinavian-style timber chalet with self-contained sleepout-studio is located in Wakaretu Bay, a tiny settlement 13 km by road from the historic village of Havelock. With stunning views out to the bay and the bush, you can savour a serene natural environment rich in birdlife, as well as launching your boat or kayak at the bottom of the drive to venture out into the Pelorus Sounds and river. Keen walkers are spoilt for choice with the famous Nydia Track, Te Aroha Trail and lesser-known tracks nearby. The eco-friendly home is sensitively designed for maximum spaciousness and easy living. At its heart are the central open plan kitchen, dining and living areas, a beautiful glowing space featuring high timber ceilings, bamboo flooring, window seat and generous windows and ranch sliders opening on to an extensive deck ideal for entertaining. Each double bedroom, located at opposite ends of the living area, is luxuriously carpeted and looks out to bush through ranch sliders that open on to the elevated deck. One bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe; the other is a few steps from the main bathroom which features both bath and shower. This western wing of the house also contains a good-sized storage closet and separate laundry. A separate sleepout-studio (8 x 5m) with its own bathroom and two ranch sliders adjoins the chalet by means of a deck. The property also features a cabin which is connected to power and a wood/garden shed. A tool shed is located under the house, which being on piles, offers plenty of room for additional storage. There are two off-street parking areas on site and an easy-care garden.

Built in 1877, tastefully renovated, beautifully maintained and set amidst grand old trees on three fertile hectares, ‘Woodside’ offers graceful living and a six-figure income. An independently accessed suite in part of the house, the ‘Garden Suite’, and the adjacent self-contained ‘Adelaide’s Barn’ provide income from short term visitor accommodation. The busy period has been Labour Weekend to Easter but that may well extend with the establishment of the Whale Trail cycle track 550m from the gate. There would also be opportunity to host functions and the barn has always been popular with honeymooners. A well-appointed kitchen is the heart of the home while open plan living and dining is complemented by a separate sitting room with an impressive open fire. Beautifully crafted joinery, rarely encountered in more modern homes, creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout. Additional income has been generated from grazing, making hay and production from 16 walnut trees. There is a recently constructed haybarn or implement shed and paddocks are well fenced for grazing. Also featured are figs, apricots, nectarines, lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit. Close to pockets of native bush, an extensive natural wetland and the Wairau River, ‘Woodside’ is regularly visited by numerous birds, including Bellbird, Tui, Spoonbill, Kereru, Heron, Falcon, Kingfisher, Swallows and several species of duck.
