Unlock the Potential
Set in the heart of one of New Zealand’s most desirable lifestyle destinations, this heritage villa enjoys a prime position beside Cathedral Gardens in central Nelson. Just a two-minute walk to the vibrant CBD, yet peacefully tucked away, this rare location offers the perfect blend of tranquillity and urban convenience.


Cathedral Gardens is a historic green space that sits beneath the iconic Christ Church Cathedral, surrounded by mature trees, walking paths, and stunning city views. The neighbourhood is known for its timeless character, exceptional walkability, and strong community feel – a true haven in the heart of the city.


Nelson itself is renowned for its sunshine, beaches, arts scene, and proximity to national parks like Abel Tasman – making it a top lifestyle destination for international buyers. With limited heritage properties ever available in this tightly held enclave, this is not just a home – it’s a long-term investment in quality of life.


Whether you’re seeking a character-rich residence, a pied-à-terre in New Zealand, or a premium addition to your property portfolio, this villa beside Cathedral Gardens offers unmatched charm, location, and global appeal.


The existing villa holds heritage character and a commanding position overlooking the Gardens, though the interior requires renovation. For visionary buyers, there is the exciting option to demolish (subject to council approval) and design a bespoke residence that maximises the potential of this exceptional site.


Surrounded by mature trees and steps from the renowned Christ Church Cathedral, the setting is peaceful and picturesque, with boutique shops, cafés, galleries, and Nelson’s renowned lifestyle all right at your doorstep.


Whether you choose to restore the home’s historic charm or build new, this is a unique opportunity to secure blue-chip real estate in one of New Zealand’s most tightly held and admired locations.
