170 Moetapu Bay Road Marlborough Sounds, Marlborough District

Imagine walking out the front door and, in just a few easy steps, being on the sandy beach. No steep goat tracks, no slippery steps, no loading up the car for a trip to the boat ramp, just direct access to the water right in front of the house. Being able to launch your boat from the beach on your doorstep is exceptionally rare in the Marlborough Sounds.

From the balconies you can watch the kids swim, enjoy both sunrise and sunset over the water, and listen to the birds in the surrounding bush. The setting is wonderfully peaceful and private, with a calm, relaxed feel that makes it just as suitable for permanent living as it is for an easygoing holiday retreat.

Road access is well maintained and straightforward, unlike many Sounds properties where getting there can be half the battle.

The main home is spread over three levels. Under the guidance of Sir Michael Fowler, it has been upgraded to a high standard, combining modern comfort with practical, functional design. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, generous open-plan living areas with sweeping views, a high-stud entrance, and excellent storage. A modern kitchen, quality fittings, and broad decks make everyday living and entertaining simple and enjoyable.

Under the house, substantial lock-up garaging provides secure space for vehicles, boat, and jet ski, along with a workshop area for all the gear that comes with a waterfront lifestyle.

Two additional guest buildings add real flexibility for family, friends, or potential income. Together they offer two extra bedrooms, two bathrooms, two more living rooms, a large games room, and a spacious multi-purpose room that can be used as a studio, office, gym, or extra living area.

The beach in front of the property is an inviting place to swim, paddle, fish, and unwind, with the tranquil surroundings enhancing the sense of escape.

This is a property that truly needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated. Homes in the Marlborough Sounds where you can genuinely walk from the house onto the beach and launch your boat from it are seldom available.
