Sheltered in one of Rai Valley’s most picturesque pockets, this 4014sqm lifestyle retreat offers privacy, scale and a backdrop that feels lifted straight from a postcard. After being sold just last year, the vendors are relocating for work, presenting a rare second chance to secure this special place.
The home itself carries charm and craftsmanship with high ceilings, timber features and a layout that encourages connection. A large lounge anchors the home, warmed by a wet-back fireplace, and framed by windows that pull in those effortless rural views. The adjoining dining area and kitchen form a practical everyday hub, with plenty of scope to modernise over time.
A large room listed on council files as a work room but currently set up as a bedroom features beautiful timber ceiling detail and a vintage brick fireplace (not currently operational), while a second bedroom sits privately along the hall. A third room offers flexibility for hobbies, a studio or extra accommodation. The bathroom and separate laundry are well positioned and bathed in natural light.
The section is beautifully varied: open lawns, sheltered planting pockets, mature trees and around 20 newly added fruit trees plus a walnut tree, all establishing well. Multiple sheds and a large carport sit alongside the double garage, creating a versatile footprint for tools, machinery, firewood or lifestyle gear.
Rai Valley places you between Nelson and Havelock, offering an easy rural lifestyle without losing connection to essentials. Local schooling, the community hall, the dairy and the iconic Pelorus Bridge swimming spot are all within comfortable reach. The wider Marlborough Sounds and Nelson Tasman coastlines sit close enough for regular weekend adventures, yet the property remains wonderfully private and peaceful.
A builder’s report from last year is available, giving you confidence and transparency as you consider future plans.
