65 Battery Rd, Patons Rock Takaka, Tasman District

Golden Bay is an idyllic setting for creative indulgences of all kinds and for decades artists have been drawn here by the beautiful landscapes and diverse community - not to mention the lovely climate. This 30 acre property on Patons Rock Beach was the home of a creative couple who built not just a unique home for themselves, but also two bespoke octagon shaped workshops for visual and performance arts. With two other dwellings onsite, they were able to share this creative hub with like minded souls, some of whom are still here continuing their work.

Everything has it's day, and all involved know that the time has come to move on, and to facilitate a sale the property is priced well below the rating valuation which was $2.15m in 2014. The asking price of just $1.85m is inclusive of GST.

The grazing is taken care of currently by a neighbouring farmer, but with good water supply and healthy soil, you may prefer to use it yourself. The gardens are full of fruit trees of many kinds and there is also an established vegetable plot with a potting shed, shadehouse and massive glasshouse. Other buildings include a Cedar clad workshop and garage, a sleepout and the three dwellings. For full details a memorandum of information can be requested from the agent.

The property is easily accessed and lies about 1.5 hours drive North West of Nelson City. The Bay boasts many beaches and you will love that they are deserted most of the time! Abel Tasman National Park bounds the bay to the East and to the South and West the mountains and forests of Kahurangi National Park stretch into the distance. Daily flights are available from Takaka to Wellington and Takaka is the "CBD" for the area, with schools, shops, banks and cafe's.
