There are some properties where words simply aren't enough.
You could call the views breathtaking, spectacular or panoramic, but none of those superlatives quite capture what awaits at 30 Ruataniwha Drive. From the moment you arrive, your eyes are drawn across the ever-changing tidal estuary to the magnificent Whakamarama Ranges beyond. It's a living landscape that transforms with the light, the weather and the tides, ensuring no two days are ever the same.
Photographs capture the view. Only standing here allows you to truly feel it. That's why no collection of carefully chosen words can do this property justice- it simply has to be experienced.
Perfectly positioned to capture all-day sun, this beautifully presented home has been thoughtfully upgraded to offer exceptional comfort, energy efficiency and complete peace of mind. Since purchasing the property, the current owners have invested extensively, creating a home where the hard work has already been done.
At the heart of the home is a stunning new kitchen featuring quality appliances, including a Belling induction range cooker and a Samsung four-door plumbed fridge freezer. New carpet throughout adds warmth and comfort, while every improvement reflects the pride and care invested in this exceptional property.
Offering four generous bedrooms, including a master suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, this is a home designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Wake each morning to breathtaking estuary views from the master bedroom, while the ensuite enjoys the same remarkable outlook - making even the start of your day something special.
Storage is plentiful throughout the home, including a delightful loft room tucked above the master suite. Whether it becomes a magical hideaway for children, a peaceful reading retreat, or simply additional storage, it's a versatile space that takes full advantage of the elevated position and yet another spectacular perspective of the surrounding landscape.
The generous living spaces have been thoughtfully orientated to embrace the extraordinary outlook, ensuring the views remain the centrepiece of everyday life. Large windows flood the home with natural light, creating an atmosphere that is warm, welcoming and constantly connected to the beauty outside.
Designed for every season, the home is insulated and double glazed, with a woodburner creating a cosy ambience through winter. A ducted heat pump provides efficient year-round climate control, while the recently installed solar power system, complete with an impressive 13kW battery pack, delivers exceptional energy efficiency and remarkably low power bills throughout the year.
Outside, the beautifully established grounds are every bit as impressive. Raised vegetable gardens, a 4,000-litre rainwater tank dedicated to garden irrigation, a new garden shed with roller door, and thoughtfully landscaped gardens create a property that's as practical as it is beautiful. A private bush-clad walking track meanders down to the road, making the walk into the charming township of Collingwood an enjoyable part of everyday life.
Positioned in a peaceful cul-de-sac, the setting offers privacy without isolation. A playground sits directly across the road, while Collingwood Area School is only a hop, skip and a jump away, making this an ideal home for families, retirees and holidaymakers alike.
Set on a generous 2,033sqm section, this is a property where life slows to the rhythm of the tides. Spend your days exploring nearby beaches, launching the boat, enjoying the local cafés or simply relaxing on the deck as the ever-changing estuary provides a living work of art before you. It's a view you'll never tire of and a place you'll be proud to call home.
Beautiful homes can be found anywhere. Views like these are exceptionally rare. 30 Ruataniwha Drive offers far more than bricks and mortar. It offers a front-row seat to one of Golden Bay's most captivating landscapes, wrapped in a home that has been meticulously upgraded for modern living.
Some homes are bought with the head. Others are chosen by the heart.
We invite you to experience 30 Ruataniwha Drive for yourself and discover why this remarkable property is one of the latter.
