Start planning your grape escape to the splendid lifestyle that awaits at Cottingham Estate, set amongst professionally tended vineyards in the revered wine district of Roys Hill. Locally known as the Bridge Pa triangle, wine aficionados know this location as the home of some of NZ's best wines.
The Merlot, Malbec, Syrah, Chardonnay and Tempranillo vines are leased out to the acclaimed wine makers at Elephant Hill, allowing you to simply sit in one of the many covered veranda's, raise a glass, and enjoy the view.
Imagine waking up to your own private retreat. With 17 hectares of premium red varietals and Chardonnay under a secure, long-term lease, the land does the heavy lifting for you. You get to enjoy a robust passive income, while simply soaking in the view.
At the heart of the estate is the grand four-bedroom villa, where classic charm meets modern luxury. The thoughtfully designed massive kitchen/dining /family room opens directly onto the verandah-making summer entertaining an absolute breeze. And when the evening cools down, throw open the French doors, pour a glass of local wine, and gather around the roaring fire in the formal lounge.
(Warning. With the gorgeous views out the French doors and the cookie jar and coffee close by, you may not get much work done in the private office just off the kitchen.)
This home offers a special space for every mood.
Host a soiree in the elegant formal lounge, or enjoy a cosy family movie night in your dedicated media room-complete with projector and surround sound-with additional speakers with remote, thoughtfully placed outside as well, where there's a door to take you directly to the wine room should you suddenly find your glass empty.
The boot room is another delight, a vast practical space, that takes you to the foyer, with the 3rd toilet discreetly positioned for guests convenience.
Downstairs, three generous double bedrooms, plus bathroom offer luxurious comfort for family and guests. But the crown jewel awaits upstairs. The sumptuous master suite features a massive walk-in wardrobe and a stunning ensuite. Just picture yourself unwinding in this spa bath, perfectly positioned to capture those serene vineyard views.
Beyond the vines, the versatility here is unmatched. You have over 6ha of flat grazing land, stock yards, a separate double garage with 3rd bay as the laundry/exercise centre, and a massive American-style barn with a bathroom, insulated wine store bays, beautifully well appointed studio mezzanine, and the possibilities for creative space, storage, or even further income are endless.
Total rural serenity, privacy, and just a 15-minute drive from the vibrant hubs of Hastings and Havelock North. Cottingham Estate presents a rare opportunity to embrace vineyard living, without the hard labour. Step into your new lifestyle today. Contact me direct to arrange your private viewing.
