With its stunning design, soaring stud height and beautiful Jarrah beams reclaimed from the Nelson wharves, this exceptional home at The Olive Grove offers a rare blend of style, comfort and relaxed rural living. A generous covered entranceway sets the scene, opening into an impressive, light-filled interior where high ceilings and strong structural lines frame the picturesque rural outlook. The sense of space is immediate and enduring. Every room has been designed to connect seamlessly with the outdoors. Multiple alfresco areas wrap around the home, offering effortless flow for everyday living and entertaining.
The social, well-appointed kitchen is the hub of the home – ideal for those who love to cook and entertain. Quality integrated appliances, a pull-out pantry and an externally accessed rubbish hatch ensure both style and practicality.
Living spaces are generous and flexible, with ample room for extended seated dining and larger gatherings.
Accommodation is beautifully considered. There are two generous bedrooms, including a main suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite complete with bath. A large separate office/additional living room can easily function as a third bedroom if required.
Heating includes a wood-burning fire, gas heaters and electric underfloor heating in the kitchen and both bathrooms.
Outdoors, the property is a true lifestyle haven. Established olive trees and Pinot Noir vines create a beautiful, productive setting. An enviable selection of fruit trees – including lime, mandarin, orange, crab apple, redcurrant, feijoa and plum – dot the grounds, while a stone-lined creek with bridge adds a magical touch. Behind the home, carefully planned “chef’s gardens” include raised vegetable beds and a shade house – perfect for those who love to grow their own produce. A bore water supply is a huge benefit for a property of this size in the Wairarapa climate.
Adding to the appeal is the internally accessed double garage, along with residents’ use of The Grove’s tennis court. Lot Five, The Olive Grove is an outstanding opportunity to secure a thoughtfully designed, beautifully proportioned home in a sought-after Martinborough enclave – where design flair meets relaxed, productive country living.
