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.
