Viewing by appointment.

Perched on a private building site with unobstructed valley views, a large modern 5 bedroom family home is calling you to the peace and beauty of the country.

The home was built in 2008 and is clad in brick, is double glazed and well presented. The open plan living, dining, kitchen area is simply huge and perfect for large families and entertaining guests. The outlook onto the expansive lawn and valley views below is peaceful and picturesque. One double bedroom, with an en-suite, is configured for direct access for Blackwood Hills Retreat Airbnb clients, which leaves four double bedrooms for you and your family. The master bedroom includes an en-suite enhanced by a spa bath and a large double walk-in wardrobe. With all those bedrooms three generations would be a great fit or a "Work from Home" scenario for your business. Heating is a wood burner and two heat pumps, the kitchen hob and hot water heating are gas.

Not far from the home a Total Span shed measures 13.7m x 7.5m and includes two vehicle bays and an adjoining workshop. There's a concrete floor and power, you can park and build what you want; what an ideal base for a contractor!

Much of the 16.8 Ha property is steep, some pine trees have been harvested, with four plus Ha of mature pines remaining. There are grazing options but some fencing will require replacing. A spring supplies fresh water to a large storage tank which is filtered to the home.

The location is strategic, with Nelson a forty minute drive and Blenheim less than an hour; Marlborough Sounds fishing at Okiwi Bay is just forty minutes away; Rai Valley township is just up the road and includes an Area School, a tavern, coffee shop, rural supplies store and garage. Trout fishing in the Rai River is just across the road and the Pelorus River is minutes down the road.
