OFF GRID DREAM HOME IN GOLDEN BAY

Perched high above Parapara on 10 acres (subject to title), this award-winning, architecturally designed home is the ultimate off-grid retreat-where sustainability meets modern luxury. With high ceilings, wide verandas, and breathtaking panoramic views over Golden Bay, this is a home like no other.

At the very end of Matata Road, just 20km from Takaka, the driveway winds through a bush-clad Karst landscape before revealing the lodge-like residence and its expansive workshop. Positioned to capture both the views and maximum sunshine, the property boasts a microclimate supporting an arboretum of exotic trees and abundant food gardens. Further up the hill, a flourishing orchard provides a true cornucopia, complementing the home's self-sufficient lifestyle. Powered entirely by solar and with both spring and rainwater supply, living off-grid has never been so effortless.

The home itself is rich in warmth and character, featuring handcrafted Cherry wood kitchen cabinetry, a butler's pantry, and a Rayburn wood stove with five radiators throughout the house. Gas cooking ensures ease of use, and the off-grid power system operates seamlessly without the need for special appliances. Spacious living areas, two home offices, and a self-contained guest suite make this an entertainer's dream or an ideal setup for hosting paying guests.

Independence, tranquility, and natural beauty define this exceptional lifestyle property. With river swims and bush walks at your doorstep-and Parapara Beach and Milnthorpe Scenic Reserve just minutes away-this is a rare opportunity to live in harmony with nature while staying connected to the world.
