40 View Mount, Stoke, Nelson

Drive through the twin entry gates and enter a world of your own, a classical villa from 1904, beautifully updated for modern living, amid a wonderland of privacy, peace and stunning grounds.

This is one of a kind, a prime, elevated position in a quiet, no-through street commanding a panorama of Tasman Bay, across to the mountains. How blissful to have sunset drinks on the veranda looking at such a spectacular view.

This is a rare offering - 3,419 square metres of grounds with dual access - bounded by native trees, dotted with spectacular palms and with colourful cottage blooms, and a four-bedroom home brimming with charms.

Here’s space to spread out, with two living areas – one with wood burner - a separate dining room overlooking the garden, an updated kitchen with large walk-in pantry, a mudroom and large separate laundry. Two smartly renovated bathrooms are tiled, one with underfloor heating.

The personality of this gorgeous house shines through, with lofty ceilings and the warm patina of original wooden floorboards along with bay windows and beautiful old fireplaces.

Winter or summer, you’ll have the comfort of ducted heating and cooling. Electricals and plumbing are renewed and insulation installed in ceilings and under floors.

More than a century on, this original View Mount homestead, is presented in excellent condition, now with contemporary, easy living features.

Open out to the glorious veranda wrapping around the house, giving you a choice of entertaining and relaxation spaces to suit the weather.

The lawns are a child’s playground, and the pathway meandering through the grounds will have you feeling you are in your own little piece of DOC bush, and with birdsong to cherish.

Having dual access from Kakenga Road creates further opportunities on this huge section with its single car port and ample additional parking area.

For a slice of country living within minutes of shopping, schools and cafes, this unique property is a must-see.
