Life among the vines

Set on the river terrace above the Ruamahunga River in sought-after East Taratahi, this 10.99 ha (approx) holding presents a rare opportunity to secure an established vineyard property in the heart of the Wairarapa. Approximately 9 ha are planted in vines across two gently rising terraces with an east-facing aspect, perfectly positioned to capture the morning sun and the dramatic outlook to the eastern hills. Free-draining gravelly silt loam soils provide an excellent base for quality production, with established plantings of sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot gris and pinot noir, supplying mainly the local market. Irrigation is well catered for with a bore servicing a drip line system throughout the vineyard, while an additional storage dam provides water for a sprinkler-based frost protection system. Practicality has clearly been a priority here, with vineyard equipment housed beneath the main dwelling and complemented by a newly erected, fully enclosed three-bay shed. Elevated above the working infrastructure is a very well presented three bedroom home, designed in a mezzanine-style layout and positioned to take full advantage of the outlook across the vines and beyond to the rolling eastern ranges. It's a home that feels connected to the land yet offers comfort, privacy and a commanding view over the property. This is a compelling lifestyle and business proposition in a proven viticultural location, combining productive land, quality infrastructure and an inviting home, all within easy reach of Masterton and the wider Wairarapa wine community.
