NELSON WINERY - PICTURESQUE LOCATION - PRICE REDUCED

MOUTERE HILLS VINEYARD – HUGE POTENTIAL

I NTRODUCTION

This glorious, 12.60 hectares property, set amongst the picturesque Moutere hills in the heart of Nelson’s wine and tourist country, offers unique opportunities for development.

It includes vineyards, a café and tasting room, a winery, an historic hop barn and two houses. Both the café complex and winery were completely rebuilt 2007/2008.

The sheltered vineyards, in two separate blocks, benefit from Nelson’s warm, sunny climate, clear skies and cool nights. Vines are on the Moutere clay gravels, giving the wines a lovely fruit density, minerality and fine tannin.

The Home Block vineyard was originally planted in 1993/4 and the newer Gordon Block in 1998. Around 20% of the vineyards are planted in pinot noir grapes, another 20% in pinot gris, about 24% in chardonnay and a further 24% in sauvignon blanc grapes. There is a small amount of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and chenin blanc.

The 270 square metre, purpose-built winery, comprises a laboratory/office, entry/store, an enclosed tank room, a fully insulated and temperature controlled barrel room and a fully insulated, temperature controlled fermentation room and equipment store.

There is an external 130 square metre, concrete Crush pad and an enclosed plant area.

An attractive tasting room accesses the café deck. The café is surrounded by a large covered timber deck with seating, and opens to a garden area with picnic tables. The café has a full commercial kitchen, designed by a master chef, two storerooms, both with mezzanine floors and excellent indoor-outdoor flow. There are two toilets and a wash area.

An adjacent Moutere-style, pre-World War 1 Hop Barn is partially renovated. Timber framed, with tinted concrete floors in the main areas, it includes a fully lined reception area and a block walled cellar. There is council consent and plans for a bathroom and office in the upper level.
Built in 1912, the 274 square metre, two level, 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom homestead has been extensively renovated. Surrounded by covered verandahs and decks on three sides, this absolutely charming home enjoys all-day sun and extensive rural views.

A 172 square metre, Fraemohs timber, one level, 2-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home, with decks on three sides, has a separate office / sleep-out. There is a double garage, a carport and covered storage area, a 3-bay utility shed, a barn, wood shed and chemical storage shed.

Located just off Sunrise Valley Road, the property is 35 minutes comfortable drive from Nelson city and 20 minutes from Richmond, the thriving commercial and retail centre of Tasman District.

The NEW Rateable Value for this property is $ 1,160,000.00 (Reduced from $1,360,000.00).
