Prime Fairhall position, productive potential

Positioned in the heart of sought-after Fairhall, this well-rounded lifestyle property delivers an enviable combination of country living, productive land and everyday convenience.

Just a stone's throw from Fairhall School, around the corner from Marlborough Golf Club and the proposed Caythorpe Green development, and less than five minutes from Westwood amenities and Marlborough Airport, the location is hard to beat.

Spanning 8.55 hectares of heavy, fertile land and supported by an irrigation consent, the property provides an excellent platform for a range of future rural pursuits. Previously planted in highly productive sauvignon blanc, the vineyard has recently been removed, with the land cleared, worked up and drilled in a summer crop.

The family home is exceptionally well presented and renovated to a high spec. Constructed from permanent materials, the dwelling comprises three double bedrooms, a spacious family bathroom, generous living room and modern-style kitchen. Established gardens and expansive lawn provide an inviting outdoor environment for families to enjoy.

Adding further flexibility is a separate cottage, privately positioned away from the main residence. Complete with a double bedroom, open-plan living and kitchenette, and well-appointed bathroom, it presents an ideal option for extended family, guest accommodation or supplementary income.

For those requiring additional workspace, storage or business infrastructure, the shedding will impress. Improvements include a five-bay pole shed (four bays open) with concrete floor and mechanics pit, separate lean-to with lockable gate, lockable double garage with substantial workshop space and power, plus a separate studio/smoko room complete with power, toilet and kitchenette facilities, ideal for contractors or a home-based business.
