Located in the friendly rural community of the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, just 38km from Blenheim's CBD is this 8ha (19.76 acres) lifestyle property that is so well set up. Positioned to the north to take advantage of the all-day sun, this well-presented barn-style two-storey home of 349sqm was constructed in 2005 and consists of four double bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a separate one-bedroom self-contained unit.

The welcoming foyer leads through to spacious living areas and an extensive kitchen plus a butler's pantry which caters to the largest family and connects perfectly to open-plan dining and lounge areas. Off these areas, outdoor entertaining is accessed through bi-fold doors to an extensive north-facing wooden deck with amazing views of the Richmond Rangers and Mt Fishtail. This double-glazed home is warm and insulated and kept cosy in the winter months with a freestanding efficient pallet fire located in the lounge.

The lower-level floorplan includes one large bedroom with a family bathroom including a shower, basin, and a claw-foot bath plus a separate toilet. The separate one-bedroom self-contained unit has an ensuite plus lounge and is ideal for extended family members or guests. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms including a huge master bedroom plus a luxury ensuite and a large walk-in robe.

Outside, substantial investment has been made with attractive post and rail fencing including large, terraced lawn areas, established trees, and raised vege gardens.

Sheds are at a premium at this property and will house the biggest collection of toys. Starting with the main home's large internal access double garage and workshop then the adjacent huge 110sqm three-bay barn with one bay lockable including a concrete floor and power. Both are accessed via the large wide driveway with plenty of extra off-street parking. A newly constructed four-bay hay and implement shed plus two further three-bay hay sheds and yards/load-out race and finally, another powered double garage completes the total of an amazing five sheds.

The property is large enough at 8ha to appeal to many buyers including farmers downsizing, equestrian enthusiasts, or lifestylers as multiple quality fenced paddocks and laneways are all well set up to graze stock or horses. Farming infrastructure includes a set of yards and load-out race, chook house plus a reliable water source that is reticulated to troughs across the property.
