Located just North of Nelson up on the hill overlooking the Tasman Bay is this beautiful 5Ha lifestyle block that certainly is a rare opportunity for new owners in this current market. Our vendors have been wonderful caretakers of the land including planting over a thousand native plants to extend the established native cover on the hillside. There is a flourishing vegetable garden and greenhouse, as well as an extensive and diverse orchard that showcases the sub-tropical micro-climate of the area with mature fruit and nut trees, bananas, and six avocado trees that produce exceptional fruit. Further down the land are some grazing paddocks with stock yards and native and exotic trees that provide excellent shelter and add a special character and feel to the property. Also included is a chicken house complete with chickens. There is a three-bay shed and a house truck/tiny home included in the sale making a great base if you choose to build or continue living the low-key lifestyle. The house truck is equipped with a kitchen, living area, fire, shower, composting toilet system and an entertaining deck with outdoor pizza oven. All of this is off grid and power is via solar. The previously approved building platform has the best views, over rural land & bush and the ocean out to Tasman Bay with the Abel Tasman in the background. This is certainly the spot to build your dream home as it is sunny and extremely private. The property has a reliable natural gravity fed water source with the backup of the Hillwood community water scheme, so you will be high, but not dry. Hillwood Drive is between Hira and Nelson, close to Cable Bay and Glenduan beaches, the Cable Bay Adventure Park all less than 15 minutes' drive to the centre of Nelson. If you have been waiting for the perfect spot to build your dream home with sea views, native birdsong, sun, privacy, and a sub-tropical climate with a mixture of land for being self-sufficient and to run some stock call Sharyn or Toby.
