About this property

Corru Gate: Rural-Chic 2-3bdrm Cottage 7 acres near Mapua seaside village Nelson

Corru Gate: Sunny, private, architecturally-designed, quiet, children-friendly cottage. 2-3 bdrm Corru Gate (ideal for 4 but could take 6 - please enquire) features a distinctly 'arty' NZ flavour on 7 acres of grounds with sea and mountain views. Corru Gate is stylish, modern and different - city chic meets country style. Set 4 minutes from Mapua seaside village, Corru Gate has a real NZ flavour - stained board and batten, and corrugated iron. Barn red detailing, sunny colours, flax, ferns and koru add to the kiwi styling.

Corru Gate is built with sustainability principles. We value our natural environment (open spaces, birds and native trees). We have organic orchards – grab a lemon for your G and T on the deck, or enjoy a delicious breakfast grapefruit. Children are welcome – it is fenced and there is a playground, treehut, chickens, tame sheep, and SPACE. Babysitter list too!

Welcoming and comfortable, Corru Gate Cottage has a zany kitchen, a sunny, open plan lounge/dining area, and French doors opening onto a deck and private garden and an outdoor bath under the stars - all with creative design.

We have loved raising our children on this 7 acre Nelson paradise. We love sharing the orchards and fields and special places with guests.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a lifestyle that blended country living with access to the city, national parks and cafes, artisans, wineries, cycling. Our wee seaside village of Mapua provides an opportunity to be part of a vibrant community.

What makes this property unique

Lovely farmlet with tame sheep, chickens and places to explore. Rural, sea, mountain views from farm. Perfect location midway between Nelson and Kaiteriteri/Abel Tasman National Park. Located right on the Great Taste Trail. Rural yet just 4 minutes from wonderful coffee, Nelson's best restaurants on the Mapua Wharf, artisans, beaches, walks.
