33b Selwyn Street, Pohara Takaka, Tasman District

It's true the mailbox has the best sea view, but this 8 year old home enjoys a more sheltered spot behind the dunes. That sea breeze can be quite chilly, so when it is time to down your bucket and spade you will be glad of the private garden and sunny deck. To top it off the rural valley & mountain views are splendid!

This 200sqm GJ Gardener home is fully double glazed, has a fire and heatpump for the winter months, and is all on the flat. The kitchen is huge and there's room for everyone to spread out (when they are not at the beach) with the sheltered deck off the lounge, a separate TV room, and a study nook. Each of the four bedrooms is well proportioned and the master has a walk in robe and ensuite bathroom. A big family bathroom, toilet, and separate laundry complete the package. Oh and did I mention the storage? Loads of cupboards, plus an internal access double garage.

Budding "Tigers" will be able to trundle their clubs along to the Takaka Golf Links at the end of the street and keen boaties will appreciate the facilities Pohara has to offer at Port Tarakohe. If you are quick, you might just be able to get in by Christmas.
