Upper Moutere House | Copper Gate: gorgeous rural eco-home beside Mapua, close to Abel Tasman/Nelson

4 Bedroom House in Upper Moutere, Mapua (Ruby Bay)

Immaculate, spacious, modern, sunny, arty, private and semi-luxurious eco-home. Architect-designed 4 bdrm Copper Gate is a popular wow-factor family-friendly or romantic get-away holiday choice between Nelson and Abel Tasman. Also check out 3 bdrm Corru Gate #1334. Kissing Gate escape is also available - search online for this one (not on Bookanach). All 3 places feature a 'creative' NZ flavour on a farmlet with stunning valley, sea and mountain views. Set in 7 acres of fields and fruit trees near Māpua seaside village, Copper Gate is creatively themed in heritage NZ domesticity yet has smart, ultra-modern design.
Modern, roomy kitchen with all you'll need to cook up fresh local produce: induction stovetop, oven, blender etc. BBQ too.
Languish in your private outdoor bath under the stars; there is an indoor bath and showers too.
French doors open onto decks with gorgeous valley, sea and mountain views beyond. Lounge in the bath under stars - being rural this is a dark sky 'heaven.' 1 or 3 bdrm options for Copper Gate - close off the other 3 bedrooms and stay in the Paris Suite for a romantic getaway at a reduced rate, yet have sole occupancy of house. See the separate Paris Suite listing.
Corru Gate + Copper Gate + Kissing Gate are built with sustainability, artistic expression and romance in mind, yet Copper Gate and Corru Gate are also family friendly. Built as a social enterprise/eco-project, Copper Gate is one of NZ's most eco of eco-homes. Value the natural environment (open spaces, birds, native trees) and spray-free orchards – grab a lemon for your G&T on the deck, or enjoy a delicious breakfast grapefruit or free-range eggs (in season). Solar panels, superinsulation and sunny design make this an ideal 1-2 family destination - or a romantic haven for two in the 1 bdrm Paris Suite (your exclusive occupancy of the building though). Children welcome – Copper Gate is fenced and there is a playground, chickens and tame sheep and SPACE. Owners 150m away for advice. Babysitter list too!
Copper Gate is central for exploration and adventure. Wander our gently sloping farm taking in the views. Cafes/studios 3 mins drive in the seaside village of Mapua - or walk/cycle there. Nearby - beaches, inlet, wharf jumping, cycle ferry/trails. Great Taste Trail feeder at bottom of drive. Wineries just a few minutes away. Art studios and Nelson potteries 20 min away; Abel Tasman, Kaiteriteri, Nelson 25min; rivers 10 min.
Space, birdsong, stillness, starry skies ... The Gates - your gateway to a great local lifestyle.

Summary: This was a lovely spot for our family get together of 8 people. The deck was perfect for sitting out on in the lovely weather we had. The area is fantastic for exploring, we enjoyed the riwaka resurgence, ngarua caves, kaiteriteri, a day walk on the abel tasman, Motueka, Neslon and of course the lovely Mapua wharf with excellent fish and chips, nice places to have a drink and taking bikes over to Rabbit island.
