After nearly 30 years of treasured family holidays, fishing trips, and unforgettable gatherings, the owners of this much-loved Elaine Bay property are embarking on a new chapter closer to town. Now, this exceptional Marlborough Sounds retreat is ready for a new family to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Perfectly positioned in the sheltered waters of Elaine Bay, this substantial home offers the ideal balance of comfort, flexibility, and outdoor adventure. The spacious open-plan living area flows effortlessly onto a large sun-drenched deck, where stunning sea views provide the backdrop for long summer evenings and relaxed family gatherings.
Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms offer plenty of room for family and friends. The master suite features a spacious ensuite with spa bath and direct deck access, allowing you to wake up to the sights and sounds of the bay. Downstairs, a self-contained one-bedroom unit with its own entrance provides excellent accommodation for guests or an opportunity for holiday rental income.
Set on an easily accessible 1,152sqm section (more or less), the property includes drive-on access, a large double garage with a 3-metre stud height ideal for storing boats and equipment, plus the added convenience of a community jetty and all-tide boat ramp just metres from the boundary. With your own private mooring, the water is never far away.
For boating enthusiasts, Elaine Bay is a gateway to some of New Zealand's most spectacular marine adventures. With easy access to Cook Strait, D'Urville Island, and the outer Sounds, you'll enjoy world-class fishing, diving, spearfishing, and exploring right from your doorstep. Chase kingfish and snapper, dive for crayfish and scallops, or venture further afield to discover secluded bays and untouched coastline.
On land, the lifestyle is equally appealing. Explore the nearby Piwakawaka and Archer Tracks, visit the predator-free islands that help protect the area's native birdlife, or simply sit back and enjoy the peace, sunshine, and ever-changing views across the bay.
Located approximately 1 hour 45 minutes from Nelson and Blenheim via a scenic sealed road, this is a place where weekends become adventures and everyday life feels like a holiday.
Launch the boat, set a course for Cook Strait, and experience the freedom that only Marlborough Sounds living can offer. Contact Martyn or Katie today to arrange your private viewing.
