Fairhall home and vineyard, renovation potential

Lovingly owned for over 24 years, this large family home set amongst the vines requires new owners. There is amazing potential in this property, with unlimited scope for a full vineyard renewal, house renovation and landscape design to create a unique and modern home in one of Marlborough's most desired locations, Fairhall.

Spanning across a generous floor plan, the home incorporates three large bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office and an open plan living area, with separate lounge. The dwelling enjoys a north facing aspect, capturing views through to the Richmond Ranges. Split over two levels, the 2001 build provides a fantastic canvas for a purchaser to renovate, modernise and add their own touches. There is a separate 72sqm garage adjacent to the house for parking and storage.

The vineyard has been under long term lease with one of New Zealand's most significant wine companies and is now offered free of all grape supply and lease agreements. Well established on silt and clay loam soils, the vineyard has produced quality fruit for many years, but is now due for some restoration and replanting. The block currently has a total canopy area of 6.58 hectares, consisting of 2.75 hectares Sauvignon Blanc and 3.83 hectares Pinot Noir. Water is sourced from the Southern Valleys Irrigation Scheme and frost protection is provided from a three-blade wind machine.

Situated around 10 minutes' drive to Blenheim's CBD, the property is in zone for Fairhall School, near many local wineries, five minutes to Marlborough Airport and down the road from the admired Marlborough Golf Club.
