Elevated well above the Pelorus River, this impressive 5.55ha lifestyle property delivers a rare combination of privacy, productivity, and recreation. With your own stretch of river frontage, a private swimming hole, and easy access to the Marlborough Sounds, this is a property where summer memories are made and a lifestyle many only dream of can become your everyday reality.
Picture long summer evenings on the deck, cold drink in hand and the BBQ sizzling away while the kids spend hours swimming, kayaking, and exploring the river below. Forget the expense and maintenance of a swimming pool; nature has already provided one, complete with crystal-clear water and a backdrop few properties can rival.
Designed for comfortable family living, the modern 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features three generous living areas, including a substantial games/media room, along with double glazing and a woodburner for year-round comfort. Positioned away from the road and surrounded by established plantings, the home enjoys peace, privacy, and stunning views across the river and surrounding countryside. The master suite provides a true retreat, complete with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, and commanding views over the Pelorus River.
Step from your front lawn to the river's edge, cast a line into the flowing waters, and keep an eye on wild deer grazing on the opposite bank. Fishing, swimming, kayaking, and simply slowing down become part of everyday life rather than a weekend escape.
Adding even greater appeal, the Marlborough Sounds are within easy reach, making this an ideal base for boating enthusiasts and adventurers alike. Spend the day exploring secluded bays, fishing, or discovering hidden beaches before returning home to your own private riverside sanctuary.
Supporting both lifestyle and farming pursuits, the property includes triple-car garaging and a substantial four-bay shed. Whether you're storing vehicles, machinery, a boat, caravan, motorhome, or all the toys that come with an active outdoor lifestyle, there is room here for it all.
Reliable water infrastructure includes a bore supply with gravity-fed reticulation servicing both domestic and stock water requirements.
Well configured for grazing, the land is subdivided into approximately 11 paddocks of around 0.5 hectares each, all serviced by troughs. Regular fertiliser applications and ongoing regrassing have maintained productive pastures and a tidy operation. For those seeking the lifestyle without the commitment of livestock management, the grazing land could also be leased, allowing you to enjoy the property's recreational benefits while reducing workload and potentially generating additional income.
Convenience complements the rural setting, with Rai Valley and its area school less than ten minutes away, while Nelson and Blenheim are both within an hour's drive. Easy access to the Marlborough Sounds, Nelson/ Tasman, and the wider Marlborough region further enhances the appeal of this exceptional riverside lifestyle opportunity.
