Overview

A rare opportunity in a remarkable setting

Deadline Sale 12pm, Thursday 29 October 2026 20 Scott Street, Blenheim Opportunities to secure a property in a location this special rarely come along. Set on approximately 4,793sqm, this much-loved family property enjoys an exceptional outlook across the surrounding vineyards to the hills and mountains beyond, with established gardens, mature plantings and a wonderful sense of space and privacy. Just a short drive from town and with convenient access to the Wairau River, this is a property where the possibilities are almost as appealing as the setting itself. Built in the 1950's by the current family's father, the existing home offers around 180sqm of accommodation and has been well cared for over the years. Three double bedrooms and a fourth single bedroom, which could also work well as an office, all take advantage of the beautiful outlook, while two living areas and a large conservatory provide plenty of space for family living. The spacious kitchen and dining area includes ample storage, dishwasher, stove, rangehood and the charm of a traditional coal range. Heating is well catered for with a wood burner, heat pump, wall heater and HRV system. But perhaps the greatest appeal is the opportunity this landholding presents. The existing home provides a comfortable base and plenty of scope for those wanting to renovate and create something special, while the generous site offers the opportunity to explore the potential of building a brand-new home and taking full advantage of the land, orientation and outstanding views. Outside, the established setting is every bit as impressive. Mature trees and attractive gardens surround the home, with a wonderful selection of fruit and citrus trees, covered and uncovered outdoor areas, an old grass tennis court and a stream boundary adding to the property's character and sense of place. There is also a double garage with automatic door and ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, while the separate laundry building includes an additional shower and toilet. Whether your vision is to breathe new life into a much-loved family home or start afresh and create a brand-new residence designed specifically for this exceptional site, the opportunity is here. Properties offering this combination of land, privacy, established surroundings and uninterrupted views across vineyards to the hills and mountains are tightly held for good reason. Add in the proximity to town, access to the Wairau River and schooling including Rapaura School and Marlborough Boys' and Girls' Colleges, and the appeal becomes even clearer. A special property, a remarkable setting and genuine potential to create something uniquely your own.
