Totara Glen - Bucolic retreat in peaceful countryside

Summary:
Discover the serene beauty of Totara Glen Farmhouse, an idyllic retreat offering peace and tranquility, all just a mere ten-minute journey from the bustling town and inviting beaches.

This charming farmhouse is cradled by lush farmlands, set against the spectacular backdrop of mountains, part of the Kahurangi National Park. These majestic peaks, frequently adorned with snow, create a breathtaking panorama.

Bordering Totara Glen Farm is the East Takaka river, with a dedicated mountain bike trail tracing its path. This scenic route concludes in Takaka township, a delightful 30-minute ride away. Golden Bay is a haven for mountain biking enthusiasts, boasting an array of trails, alongside a dedicated road cycle track to the township.


The farmhouse's patio is an ideal locale for basking in the sun, with views of rolling mountains and Totara Glen's farmland. Inside, a welcoming and bright living/dining area, warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, invites relaxation. The spacious kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring stone countertops and modern appliances.

Come and experience the rural charm and myriad attractions of Totara Glen Farmhouse in the picturesque Golden Bay.

Nearby Paines Ford, accessible via the cycle track and close to the farm, offers refreshing swimming spots in crystal-clear river waters and the thrill of rock climbing at Hangdog.
