823 Awatere Valley Road, Awatere Valley, Marlborough

Vendors off to town, ultimate Awatere lifestyle

Nestled at the start of the picturesque Awatere Valley, this rural retreat offers a blend of privacy and versatility. Set on an elevated terrace overlooking the Awatere River, this completely renovated home combines classic charm with modern functionality. Double glazed and tastefully finished throughout, the décor provides a warm and inviting space.

An open-plan layout includes dual living spaces, giving you plenty of space to entertain. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed for ease of use and finished to a high spec with quality appliances, dual wall ovens, plenty of bench space, and fantastic storage. Across the remainder of the home, four double bedrooms are complemented by an office and two spacious bathrooms, completed with high end fittings. The sleeping arrangements are separated between two wings, allowing space for large families or guests. Outside, large lawns and manicured gardens frame the tranquil site. An expansive deck is positioned north, with a separate patio area to the west to enjoy the sunset. Sliding doors connect the interior to these outdoor spaces, which include a new inground pool ready to be enjoyed for the summer.

Across the 18.89-hectare property, the fertile terrain appeals to a variety of uses. Offering a mixture of viticulture and pastoral grazing, there is 6.53 hectares planted in sauvignon blanc and pinot noir, providing consistent annual income. With the balance of the land currently grazing cattle, the top paddocks also lend themselves well to further vineyard development. Fantastic rural infrastructure completes the block, with two storage reservoirs, a four-bay pole shed and adjoining lean-to, generous stock yards, and an additional three-bay implement shed with one enclosed bay.

Located in a quiet rural setting, the property is 25 minutes to Blenheim's CBD, while local schooling and amenities are a short 10-minute drive away in Seddon. After more than 24 years calling this exceptional property home, the time has come to pass the legacy on to new owners.
