243 Boons Valley Road, Waikawa, Picton, Marlborough

There’s something special about a property that slows you down the moment you arrive.

At 243 Boons Valley Road, life moves at a different pace. The driveway opens to a private valley setting, where birdsong replaces traffic noise and native bush frames the landscape in every direction.

Step out onto the porch, and you’ll find one of the home’s most peaceful spaces — a sun-filled garden with a gentle flowing water feature and charming water wheel, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Just beyond, a generous deck overlooks the paddock and fire protection pond, where a resident deer and goat quietly graze. It’s the kind of outlook that makes morning coffee last a little longer.

Built around the year 2000, the home offers comfortable living with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, supported by excellent practical infrastructure.

Space to Create, Work & Grow

Alongside the double garage and laundry is a real bonus — an arts or hobby studio positioned above the garage. Filled with natural light and tucked away from the main living areas, it’s an ideal space for:

Art or creative projects

A home office or remote working

Craft, workshop, or hobby use

A commercial kitchen, currently set up for a honey and beekeeping operation, sits nearby, along with separate workshops, sheds, and a standalone sleepout — providing flexibility for guests, extended family, or additional workspace.

Land & Lifestyle

Set across 16.3145 hectares, the property offers a beautiful mix of usable land and regenerating native bush.

Walking tracks wind through the trees, leading to one of the property’s hidden gems — a simple bush cabin, accessed via a stunning trail that passes a small waterfall. Another track leads to a river flowing through parts of the property, offering a peaceful place to explore or unwind.

Around the home, several paddocks provide space for animals, gardens, or lifestyle use, with the fire protection pond located in the main paddock alongside the resident deer and goat, who will remain with the property.

Opportunity & Flexibility

Located within the Rural Environment Zone, the property allows for a range of activities (subject to council rules), offering potential for:

Home-based or rural business ventures

Beekeeping or small-scale production

Lifestyle farming or self-sufficiency

Properties like this are becoming increasingly hard to find — private, productive, and full of character, yet still within easy reach of Waikawa Marina and Picton.

If you’ve been searching for space, privacy, creativity, and a lifestyle that feels a world away from the everyday, this could be the one where the track finally leads home.
