The song of the Tui - ready for a new verse
Known to many as Song of the Tui, this is a property that has quietly earned a reputation as one of Golden Bay's most peaceful and inspiring destinations.
There are properties that simply occupy a piece of land, and then there are places that become destinations in their own right.
Perched high above Golden Bay, surrounded by protected native bush and commanding breathtaking panoramic views, this residence was purpose-built as an exclusive boutique retreat. Today, it presents an extraordinary opportunity to secure one of the region's most unique lifestyle properties, where privacy, nature and possibility exist in perfect harmony.
As you wind your way up the driveway, the outside world begins to disappear. Native birdsong becomes the only sound, and the landscape unfolds before you in spectacular fashion. The views are expansive, uninterrupted and ever-changing, stretching across Golden Bay and the surrounding countryside. Protected by a QEII covenant, the native bush ensures the tranquillity, birdlife and natural beauty of this remarkable setting will be preserved for generations to come.
Designed with both guests and owners in mind, the home offers exceptional flexibility. Continue its legacy as boutique accommodation, transform it into an exclusive wellness retreat, create a comfortable family residence or simply enjoy one of Golden Bay's most spectacular private escapes. Offered for sale as land and buildings only (+ GST if any), the next chapter is yours to write.
The thoughtfully designed floorplan centres around generous open-plan living, where the spacious lounge, dining room and well-appointed kitchen create inviting spaces to entertain, relax and soak in the magnificent outlook.
Two beautifully appointed guest suites, each complete with their own private ensuite, offer comfort and privacy for family, friends or visitors.
Privately positioned away from the guest accommodation is the owner's retreat, featuring a generous bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, creating a peaceful sanctuary at the end of each day.
A separate garage provides additional space or the flexibility to create a studio, office or hobby space, while the double internal access garage offers secure storage. Completing this exceptional offering is a private helipad - an uncommon feature that perfectly complements a property of this calibre and provides exceptional accessibility for those travelling from further afield. There is approximately 100,000 ltrs of rainwater tank storage and a fully equipped septic tank system.
Adding even greater appeal, with purpose-built furniture the property is being offered fully furnished, allowing the next owner to step straight into the lifestyle from day one. Whether your vision is to continue welcoming guests, create a private retreat or simply enjoy it as your own remarkable home, much of the work has already been done.
While the home would benefit from some cosmetic updating, and the grounds need taming, the properties timeless design, thoughtful layout and spectacular location provide an outstanding foundation for the next owner to enhance and personalise. The vision has already been created; now it's ready for someone to make it their own.
Wake each morning to the unmistakable chorus of tūī, enjoy your coffee overlooking one of New Zealand's most breathtaking landscapes, spend your afternoons exploring Golden Bay's beaches, rivers and walking tracks, and finish each day beneath magnificent sunsets and star-filled skies.
This is more than a home. It is more than a destination.
It is a place where people come to reconnect - with nature, with themselves and with what truly matters.
Properties like this are exceptionally rare.
Some are remembered for their architecture. Others for their location.
The truly unforgettable ones are remembered for the way they make you feel. Song of the Tui is one of those places.
Viewing is strictly by appointment, and a sufficient notice period is required for the vendor. Please contact Claire directly.
Price + GST (if any).
