Thackwood Farm – A Landmark Opportunity

Available for
the first time outside the original family since 1896, Thackwood Farm represents
a rare convergence of history, scale, and future potential. Properties of this
calibre—where much of the groundwork has already been completed—are seldom
brought to market.

Located in
the highly desirable Wakapuaka area, just 10 minutes from Nelson’s CBD, this
offering delivers the perfect balance of peaceful rural living and city
convenience. Set within a scenic coastal landscape, the property enjoys
elevated positions with sweeping views across Tasman Bay and Abel Tasman
National Park and beyond and back toward Nelson—an outlook that will define
every future home built here.

Resource
consent is already in place for a 13-lot subdivision, with generously sized
lots from approximately 1.05 hectares and above. Careful planning has gone into
positioning each site to maximise sun, privacy, and aspect. Proposed building
platforms have been geotechnically assessed, and with mains power designed to
run through to the highest lot, a major development cost has already been
addressed.

Steeped in
local heritage, Wakapuaka is among the earliest settled areas in New Zealand,
with roots dating back to the 1820s. Today, it remains a sought-after lifestyle
destination, offering both tranquillity and accessibility.

The lifestyle
on offer is equally compelling. Within minutes, you’ll find sea kayaking at
Cable Bay, walking and hiking tracks, horse trekking, tennis, and adventure
activities. The wider Nelson region is renowned for its boutique wineries,
gourmet food scene, vibrant arts culture, and proximity to national parks and
outdoor recreation.

Whether you
are looking to develop immediately, stage a premium subdivision, or secure a
strategic landholding for the future, Thackwood Subdivision offers flexibility,
value, and enduring appeal.
