Sitting atop a rise, with breathtaking views over the Marlborough Plains and out to the Richmond Ranges, this property offers an unparalleled semi-rural lifestyle. At the heart of the home is a recently renovated kitchen, with a spacious butler’s pantry for extensive storage. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is the dining room on one side and living on the other, creating the perfect space for relaxed family living and entertaining. Large sliding doors in the centre of the home lead to a sheltered outdoor patio, encapsulated by the gorgeous elevated views of the rural surrounds. The dual living space features a lounge area for the whole family, while the north facing sitting room is bathed in afternoon sunshine. Double French doors open from the sitting room to the lawn, framing the stunning landscape. The home features three generously sized double bedrooms. The private master suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in wardrobe and modern ensuite, the other two bedrooms overlook the beautiful views. For those working from home, the office is thoughtfully designed with a built-in desk spanning an entire wall, with additional storage. The office also features a purpose built wine cellar. Outdoor living is truly a highlight of this property. The sheltered patio, complete with LouvreTech louvres, allows for year-round enjoyment, with a full sized pizza oven, and room to add a barbeque. Beyond the lawn, a fully fenced hectare paddock slopes down the hill, dotted with mature trees and complete with a handy hayshed. A large, fenced vegetable garden with raised planter boxes and fruit trees add to the charm of the property. Storage and functionality are key features of the home, with a spacious two-car garage and an additional single garage that has been expertly designed as a workshop without relinquishing vehicle space. This remarkable property has been crafted to incorporate entertaining and unwinding. This home captures the essence of a peaceful rural lifestyle all under 15 minutes from Blenheim central.
