Riverside returns moments from town

If you’re looking for the perfect step out of town, a cosy downsize from a larger rural block or a stunning country retreat to escape the city, this deserves your inspection. Private, sheltered and superbly orientated for the sun, this property captures the true essence of Marlborough.

Engaging in its simplicity, the stylish two-bedroom main residence, creates an attractive atmosphere for everyday living. Constructed in ever reliable concrete tilt slab, the design creates clean lines and easy angles, saturated in natural light through north facing floor to ceiling windows along the length of the living. Dividing the dual living spaces, is an open plan kitchen featuring stainless steel benchtops, timber joinery, large walk-in pantry and gas hobs. Accommodation is at separate ends of the home, with the master enjoying an executive tiled ensuite and a separate bathroom servicing the second bedroom.

Expansive landscaping surrounds the home, gardens filled with an abundance of wildflowers, specimen trees of grand scale, plenty of vegetable gardens, with a scattering of fruit trees lining the entrance. The covered patio overlooks the flat lawn, into the vines, and to the ranges beyond.

Separate from the home, a generous one-bedroom studio provides the perfect space for extended family and guests, or an ideal option for an air b’n’b venture. The sleepout is complete with its own private patio area, a small log fire and a large, well-appointed bathroom. Two freestanding offices could provide a business venture, work from home space or be perfect for conversion into a sauna, overlooked by a unique feature, the watch tower.

With the area renowned for having some of Marlborough’s most fertile silt soils, the vendors meticulosity developed 5.60 hectares of sauvignon blanc in 2023. The vines are thriving, showing exceptional growth, and will prove to be an astute long-term investment over their lifecycle. The block comes with a grape supply agreement in place to one of the region’s longest standing family wine companies with full contract management able to be arranged for owners wishing to enjoy a hands-off lifestyle.

Impressive shedding completes the property. A two bay pole shed with lockable gates and enclosed storage room, is ideal for the boat, trailer and other toys while the larger fully enclosed implement shed boasts a concrete floor, two big bays with high stud doors for safely storing those larger items and ample space for a workshop and storage to the sides. A large amount of solar panels, set up on the house, shed and grounds provide a clean energy option and battery storage allows you to live off the grid if so desired.

The location positions you central to all that Marlborough offers. Within 15 minutes you can enjoy many fabulous wineries and restaurants or reach Picton in less than 20 minutes; your gateway to the Marlborough Sounds to enjoy boating, fishing, diving and more. Spring Creek amenities are a stone’s throw away, and access Blenheim airport within 12 minutes.

With its welcoming proportions, high ceilings, timber floors and bright aspect, this is a truly exceptional escape in the heart of wine country. The vendors have new opportunities ahead and welcome your inspection today.
