Searching for a blissful retreat with a business - a world class paradise overlooking sparkling sea and surrounded by wonders of nature?
Here it is, an extraordinary property with so many possibilities. The biggest decision may be deciding how to best match the idyllic lifestyle with your choice of business. Multiple commercial options are available - with turnkey operation to launch your venture from day one.
In the past 75 years the property has been a focus of the Collingwood community in Golden Bay, one of New Zealand's iconic getaways, a haven of beaches, bush, and national parks. It has been a maternity hospital, a rest home and, in its newest, popular iteration, a wedding, conference venue and retreat destination.
Substantial and solid, the property has an expansive main house, an east wing, and numerous outbuildings, with 13 bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and an amazing living space, opening to huge decks, and lovely lawns and gardens.
Substantially upgraded over the past ten years, the property is hidden from the road by bush, disguising a huge visitor parking area. Beautiful grounds (7,435sqm approximately) comprise ferns, flax, and other glorious natives, alive with birdsong.
Gatherings of two hundred plus are easily held here, with the glistening sea views as the backdrop. Wedding parties feast on fine food, dance on the lawn and take trips to Farewell Spit, or one of New Zealand’s great walks, the Heaphy Track. Helicopters can land in the grounds and whisk visitors off for flights over the Southern Alps, or to a waiting boat for a cruise in Golden Bay.
How will you use this property? The infrastructure is here, from the central heating to the commercial fire prevention system, the fully equipped kitchen, the wine cellars, the reception area, linen and laundry rooms and a massage room.
Options abound, a luxury B&B, a return to a rest home operation, or continue as a conference retreat and wedding venue.
Come and see this unique property and decide your next future dream.
