Half a hectare of Marlborough lifestyle
If you've been looking for a lifestyle property with room to breathe, but without the upkeep of a large landholding, this 5,447m2 property could be just the balance you've been searching for. Set amongst the vineyards, it combines an appealing rural setting within easy reach from Renwick and Blenheim. Privacy comes naturally here, with mature trees, established plantings and an apricot orchard creating an attractive, peaceful environment, with vineyards beyond and the Richmond Ranges forming a distinctly Marlborough backdrop. There is space to enjoy the outdoors without the demands of a large lifestyle block, while the productive orchard adds another dimension - enjoy the harvest yourself, preserve the abundance, or continue the roadside sales which, in good cropping years, have made a meaningful contribution towards the property’s rates. Recently refreshed with a newly painted exterior, the 180m2 home is comfortable as it stands while leaving scope for future owners to enhance and add their own style over time. Open-plan kitchen, dining and living creates an easy everyday hub, complemented by a separate snug or library. The living area opens to a north-facing paved courtyard beneath the pergola – a sheltered haven surrounded by the orchard, with vineyard views and softly filtered sunshine, creating an inviting spot for gatherings and long summer evenings. Two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a versatile office/fourth bedroom are located on the ground floor, while upstairs the master suite enjoys a sense of separation with its own walk-in wardrobe, spacious ensuite and private balcony. Adding another dimension is the fully lined studio adjoining the double garage as a separate 105m2 building. Whether you need a work-from-home space, hobby room, creative studio or additional accommodation, it provides useful flexibility away from the main living areas. Beyond the property, some of Marlborough's best outdoor recreation is virtually on the doorstep. Conders Bend Mountain Bike Park is directly across the road, while the Wairau River's walking tracks and swimming spots are close by. For buyers wanting an affordable entry into the Marlborough lifestyle market, this property offers a compelling combination of privacy, a manageable parcel of land, established orchard and versatile additional space.
