Set high above Mapua this 3 bedroom home sits proudly on a 1,448 m² section surrounded by native greenery and birdsong. Every angle celebrates the landscape - from rolling paddocks and the ever changing estuary, to the Western Ranges that frame the horizon.

Step inside and the warmth of timber greets you instantly. High ceilings, exposed beams, and light that shifts through the day give the open-plan living area a spacious feel. The lounge opens to two decks - one capturing morning light, the other made for golden sunsets and long views. A wood burner keeps things cosy through winter, while sliding doors invite the breeze through in summer.

The kitchen brings a cheerful retro character, pairing soft mint cabinetry with curved benchtops and plenty of workspace, and connecting naturally to the dining zone.

Three bedrooms each enjoy their own peaceful outlook: the master suite opens to a private deck and includes its own ensuite; a second double enjoys garden views; and a third bedroom or study offers a built-in desk - ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. The main bathroom features a family-friendly layout with a spa bath, while a separate laundry adds practicality to the plan.

Outside, established trees, flowering shrubs and fruit plantings wrap the home in privacy. There’s room for a veggie garden, a play space for kids, and shaded corners that make you want to sit and listen to the birds. Beneath the home, a double garage and storage area provide excellent space for tools, kayaks, or a workshop.

Only minutes from Mapua Village, The Apple Shed, Albertas cafe, and the Great Taste Trail, this home balances tranquillity with community. Nelson is an easy commute, yet the feeling here is pure escape, as days unfold to the sound of tui and the glow of the evening sun.
