Positioned in one of Tasman’s most breathtaking waterfront settings, 46 Cardno Way is an architectural sanctuary where contemporary design, privacy and natural beauty converge. Comprised of two striking near-new homes on 5.0176 hectares overlooking the Waimea Inlet, this is an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity rarely available in the region.
Completed in 2022 and designed by acclaimed Redbox Architects, both dwellings embrace clean modern lines, expansive glazing and a long, light-filled north-facing aspect that captures uninterrupted inlet and countryside views. Crafted with uncompromising quality by award-winning Foothold Developments, each residence boasts advanced construction, triple glazing, premium materials and innovative environmental technology.
The main home offers a grand sense of scale with soaring ceilings, European oak parquet, a vast open-plan living zone and seamless flow to 138m² of elevated decking. A chef’s kitchen anchors the space, while the luxurious master suite features a bath positioned for serene inlet views. A gallery walkway, guest bathroom, gas fire and indulgent heated flooring in the tiled areas elevate comfort to a five-star standard.
The second dwelling, connected by beautifully crafted wellness and deck areas, mirrors the same design ethos, an ideal retreat for extended family, guests, or income generation. Its 160m² decking ensures privacy, while preserving the same sweeping water outlook.
Together, the homes operate with a sophisticated eco-focus: solar thermodynamic hot water systems, an 11.7kW PV array with 18.9kW battery storage, Zehnder comfort ventilation, underfloor heating, filtered rainwater supply and EV charging in both garages.
Outside, the lifestyle is exceptional. Expansive Abodo eco-timber decks wrap the buildings and step down to a stunning relaxation platform beside a private 10,650m³ irrigation pond alive with birdlife – pūkekos, tuis, herons, kingfishers, ducks and swallows among flourishing native planting. The property’s orchard, leased to a local grower, provides 1.94ha of income-producing apple trees plus the benefit of a rural outlook maintained to a high horticultural standard.
Access to the estuary edge affords quiet waterfront enjoyment, while the peaceful no-exit enclave of Bronte Road offers a gentle rural lifestyle just 20 minutes from Nelson. Enter a world entirely your own, rolling countryside and the shimmering inlet stretching out before you.
A masterpiece of design, environment, and location, 46 Cardno Way is a rare and remarkable property offering superb living, entertaining and income potential in one of Tasman’s most sought-after coastal settings.
