Situated at the beginning of the picturesque Avon Valley, set on 2.53 hectares of stunning grounds, this colonial-style home blends rich heritage features with contemporary enhancements, creating a home that feels both warm and refined. Constructed with classic macrocarpa, timber weatherboard and striking river stone cladding, the home’s classic façade offers immediate street appeal.

The well-appointed kitchen balances traditional charm with modern practicality, boasting high end appliances and tile floors. Majority of the sleeping arrangements are situated upstairs, with three large double bedrooms sharing an impressive family bathroom, and the master suite, complete with a walk in robe, north facing balcony and elegant ensuite. Downstairs, there is a sauna room and guest bedroom currently utilised as an office, complemented by an adjacent bathroom with large tiled shower and detailed design work. Year-round comfort is ensured, with a log fire, two open fires, coal range and numerous radiators throughout the home.

Outside, a wrap around verandah overlooks the expansive grounds and pond. Multiple specimen trees are scattered throughout the spacious lawn, while the pond is framed by a variety of native plantings. Facing north west, a private courtyard beside the living provides the perfect space to relax and entertain. Several small grazing paddocks make up the balance of the block.

With Blenheim and its airport under 30 minutes’ drive, and access to international wine, food, and cultural destinations at your fingertips, the location lets you feel worlds away, while being within reach of amenities. Viewing is strictly by appointment, and inspection is guaranteed to impress. Contact Kurt Lindsay and Tarin Mason today for further information.
