A much-loved Sounds retreat, ready for your next chapter of waterfront adventures.
This long-held and much-loved Penzance Bay retreat has been the setting for Christmas gatherings, legendary fishing trips and countless summers spent on the water. Positioned directly above the community jetty and launching ramp, it offers stunning bay views, plenty of sunshine and the kind of location that makes escaping to the Sounds effortless.
With Cook Strait close by, some of New Zealand's most productive fishing grounds are within easy reach. Whether it's an early morning fishing mission, a day exploring secluded bays or a leisurely afternoon swimming and boating, this is a property designed for making the most of life on the water.
Practicality is well catered for, with parking beneath the house for vehicles or a boat, along with an additional bunk room providing extra accommodation for the kids, leaving the adults to relax upstairs.
The upper level is positioned to make the most of the spectacular outlook, with the kitchen, dining and lounge areas flowing onto a deck overlooking the bay. Start the day with coffee in the sunshine, enjoy long lunches with family and friends, then settle in for the evening as the water changes colour and the last boats make their way home.
Adding to the appeal, the property is being sold fully furnished, making it easy to step straight into holiday mode. With the community jetty and launching ramp practically on your doorstep, getting from the house to the water couldn't be easier.
Penzance Bay remains one of the Marlborough Sounds' special spots, offering a more peaceful alternative to the busier Queen Charlotte Sound while retaining the benefits of road access and a sought-after waterfront community. Deep-water access, sheltered swimming beaches, a boating-focused lifestyle and year-round access via sealed road make this an appealing destination in every season.
Within comfortable driving distance of both Nelson and Blenheim, the property offers flexibility as a family holiday home, a permanent residence or a retreat where generations can come together to create their own lasting memories.
The fishing trips, summer swims and family gatherings have already made their mark here. Now it's time for someone new to make this special place their own.
Your next Sounds adventure starts here.
