53 Gibbs Road Collingwood, Tasman District

Embraced by the natural landscape, enjoying an elevated position high above the seaside town of Collingwood, 53 Gibbs Road is a wonderful place to call home. The welcoming entrance hall opens out into a huge living area that enjoys panoramic views from the sea to the mountains. The water views draw you to the viewing deck, and from here you realise just how private this property really is.

From a quiet backstreet, near the school and a short walk from the local café, the grand asphalt driveway wends its way up through leafy bush to the front door - orange and vibrant! Built in 2001, this 191sqm family friendly home was architecturally designed to make the most of the sun and the vistas. Careful consideration was given to comfort, with woolen batts for insulation, and the aluminium windows are all double glazed. The wonderful views over the Whakamarama Ranges of Kahurangi National Park are prevalent throughout the house, and from the covered deck. Here, an awning can be wound out for sun protection, and it's a great place for an evening BBQ as the sun goes down. The internal access garage has a workbench at one end, and an outside sink bench for fish filleting. There is plenty of room on the driveway for parking your boat!

Your absolute privacy is afforded by the natural incline of this 0.5629 hectare site, and the richness of the native plantings make you feel like you are deep in the forest. My clients have their plans in hand and are ready to get started, they have loved living here so much, they will be just next door!
