In a private setting within Riverside Estate, only five minutes from central Blenheim, this thoughtfully designed 2023 home offers easy modern living, excellent outdoor entertaining and the added flexibility of a separate one-bedroom cottage. It will appeal to growing families, those looking to step back from a larger rural property, or buyers seeking independent accommodation for family or additional income.
At the heart of the home, an open-plan kitchen, dining and living enjoys a macrocarpa cathedral ceiling and views towards the Opaoa River. The well-appointed kitchen includes quality appliances and a butler's pantry, while a dedicated office off the kitchen and good storage throughout add practicality to everyday living.
The living extends to a substantial covered outdoor area complete with cooking facilities, overlooking the river and providing a great space for year-round dining and entertaining. This flows to a secure courtyard with decking and a substantial timber pergola, giving children and pets their own space to safely play.
Accommodation includes three double bedrooms plus a flexible additional room suitable as a fourth bedroom, nursery or hobby room. The master suite opens outdoors and includes his and hers walk-in wardrobes and a tiled ensuite. A family bathroom, with access from both the hallway and one of the bedrooms, conveniently services the balance of the home.
Separate from the house, a self-contained one-bedroom cottage has its own outdoor area and parking. Currently tenanted, it offers supplementary income while providing future options for extended family, independent teenagers, guests or short-term accommodation.
There is space to park a caravan and a separate powered shed with excellent natural light, ideal for a workshop, hobbies or additional storage. Ownership also includes an 8.6% share of the fully managed Riverside Estate vineyard, providing the vineyard environment without responsibility for its day-to-day operation.
Offering space, flexibility and an enviable river setting so close to town, this is an appealing slice of the good life in New Zealand's sunniest region.
