83 Vintage Lane, Rapaura, Marlborough

Golden mile vineyard and home, estate moving on

Situated in the heart of Rapaura, this property truly is a once in a generation opportunity. Owned in the family for close to 30 years, and now presented to the market for others to take the property forward. There is undeniable potential in the offering, a premium location, established garden setting and a spacious home ready for modernisation.

Offering space for the family, and plenty of potential to upgrade the mix of eras throughout, the home incorporates three double bedrooms complemented by two bathrooms and boasts spacious dual living, large kitchen and study. Outside, an expansive deck overlooks the lawn and gardens with an inground pool to enjoy in the warmer months. Parking and storage are provided in the two storerooms and large double garage, while a four bay implement shed has space for the farm gear. A unique feature of the property is an astronomical observatory, adjacent to the home.

The fertile, well drained, loam-based soils support 6.59 canopy hectares of mature sauvignon blanc, still generating respectable 17.3 tonne/hectare yields in the past two seasons. Producing quality fruit, the crop has been taken by one winery for many years, which is a testament to the cropping, flavours, and profiles on offer. The vineyard is offered free of all grape supply agreements, with the forthcoming vintage included. Water is sourced from a bore, and the block is in a low frost risk area of the district.

The location is highly sought after, a stone's throw to many premium wineries, cellar doors and eateries in the Rapaura area. Within 10 minutes' drive to Blenheim, two minutes' drive to Renwick for amenities and schooling as well as a five-minute drive to Marlborough Airport. This vineyard is now surplus to the family's requirements and presented to the market for the first time in nearly three decades, with genuine intentions to find new owners.
