Price Upon Request MLS #BL4613, Marlborough, New Zealand
Located southwest of Blenheim in the Omaka Valley this wonderful house, cottage, vineyard and olive grove is matched by arguably the most outstanding views in Marlborough. Brookby Ridge sits in its own land area of approx 48 acres, 100m above sea level, commanding marvellous far-reaching views across the Marlborough countryside, the Richmond Ranges, the Wairau Valley, Cloudy Bay, Cook Strait and to the North Island beyond. The current owners have recently renovated the house and it is now a luxurious and elegant family home on two floors, imaginatively laid out, beautifully presented and with great attention to detail, combining countryside lifestyle living with modern day requirements. The house provides up to five bedrooms and two ensuite bathrooms - it is currently arranged with three double bedrooms, but is easily reconfigured to provide a further two single bedrooms - a huge living room with three metre tall windows, a separate dining room, and a family TV room, and an entertainer's dream - a lovely modern English-style kitchen, with macrocarpa timber benchtops, four-door gas-fired Aga cooker (extra), two further ovens, two fridges, freezer, etc. Heated by warm air ventilation systems, log fires and under-tile heating, the house is fully enclosed by high-efficiency double glazing. OUTSIDE: The professionally landscaped and established gardens provide calm ambience, year-round colour, and fruit from the fig trees, apples, oranges and lemons, and feijoa. There is irrigation reticulated round the garden. A modern detached self contained cottage provides a large open plan modern kitchen/living room, a wood burning stove, and sliding doors onto the veranda with the most stunning views over the Brancott valley and vineyards, again to the North Island beyond. With one double bedroom and a large ensuite bathroom it is ideal for family, guests or Farmstay visitors. Other outbuildings include a solar-heated swimming pool, a 3-car carport, a staff toilet, a combined 2-car garage and workshop (with extra tall doors and length to accommodate boats), two tractor sheds, wood, wool and chemical sheds, a 1.5-million litre irrigation storage pond complete with duck-house, etc. A 10-hectare vineyard planted 50% in pinot noir, 30% in sauvignon blanc and 20% in chardonnay. A grape supply contract is in place, and the irrigation from the Southern Valleys Irrigation Scheme is automated, with a new 25,000 litre holding tank, and a 1.5 million litre pond (complete with duck-house) connected as an emergency reservoir. Vineyard income 5-year average: $128,967 There are some 700 olive trees (Barnea, Frantoio and Manzanillo), mainly in two groves. Two flat roadside paddocks and two hillside paddocks provide grazing and income from baled hay. The property is to be sold as a going concern, with all the necessary equipment (3 tractors, ancillary attachments, bird nets, posts, wires, clips, olive harvesters etc) for one person or a couple to run the vineyard and olives as a lifestyle, or of course the work can be contracted. SITUATION: Marlborough is often blessed with the highest number of sunshine hours in New Zealand and renowned for the crystal clear waters of the Marlborough Sounds. The market town of Blenheim is 10 minutes drive; the village of Renwick (butcher, 2 pubs, small supermarket, dairy, post office, petrol station, tractor service stations etc) is 5 minutes away. Blenheim airport is 5 minutes: some 25 flights per day to and from Wellington (25 mins), 30 flights to & from Christchurch (50 mins) and 35 flights to & from Auckland (1 hr 20). Picton for the cross-strait ferries (20 crossings per day) is about 35 minutes, and Blenheim has railway connections south to Christchurch and north to Picton and the ferries, and thence to Wellington. Wineries abound, many with restaurants, and there are a number of golf courses.
