42 Wrekin Road, Fairhall, Marlborough, 7272, New Zealand

Set amidst established gardens and enjoying views of the renowned Brancott Valley, this spacious, attractively designed home offers an idyllic rural lifestyle.

A grand gateway with majestic eucalypts reveals an olive-lined driveway through vineyard to an upper terrace and a welcoming introduction to the impressive home. There is extensive living with an open plan family room featuring dining and a kitchen built in Germany, a separate sitting room with an open fire and views over lawn and vines to the distant Richmond Ranges.

A large barnstyle building has been home to a boutique winery and olive processing. Nowadays, one end has been developed as two bedroom accommodation with living, kitchen and bathroom while the other end provides a lockable three bay implement shed and workshop. It would be ideal as a tasting room, a studio for artists or a workshop for craftspeople while also housing tractors, boats and campervans.

Gardens are well planned with separate spaces, linking paths and trees and walls for shelter and privacy. There are sprawling lawns, vegetable gardens, olives, fruit trees and a 0.8ha vineyard producing Pinot Noir grapes for a local winery and income for a new owner.

Blenheim, Renwick and Marlborough airport are all within an easy 15 minute drive. Popular activities in the province include hiking, cycling, golf, fishing, sailing, skiing and wine tasting. This is an opportunity to enjoy a taste of the good life in New Zealands sunniest region.
