The Nelson Tasman region is the geographic center of New Zealand renowned for its stunning natural landscapes offering a range of activities from fishing, kayaking, hiking and mountain biking. Boutique wineries, cellar doors and an arts and crafts community attract international and national visitors alike with a temperate, sunny micro-climate making it a popular year-round destination.
Positioned near three top National Parks (Kahurangi, Abel Tasman and Nelson Lakes), Falcon Ridge Estate is ideally located to enjoy all that Te Tau Ihu (Top of the South Island) has to offer. The ski fields at Rainbow, the golden sands of Kaiteriteri Beach and the inlets of the Marlborough Sounds are all within 1-2 hours drive.
Falcon Ridge Estate’s nearest township of Brightwater (named after the clarity of the Wairoa River) is the birthplace of pioneering physicist Lord Rutherford. The small, popular residential center has been highlighted within Tasman District Council′s Future Development Strategy as an area for managed intensification of housing development and new opportunities for business.
Richmond commercial center with all its amenities and services is a mere 10 minute drive. Nelson Airport (with daily flights to Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland for international connections) and helicopter services is only a 20 minute drive away.
