Nestled adjacent to the Wai-iti River, this home is a classic. The extensive grounds have been planted out with a vast range of deciduous and evergreen trees, to provide a real sense of season. Entering the property, immediately you become cocooned in wonderful private surroundings - the outside world disappears and the stately house, the soothing flowing of the river, and the grounds remain.
Built in 2010, this house was a Nelson region 'Home of the Year' medalist. The house includes four bedrooms, a library/office, gym, music room, and a sweeping classical staircase. Tasteful details abound in the finish of the home - from wooden wall paneling to bespoke wrought iron railings to lighting specially imported from the United States. The master bedroom is incredibly spacious and leads to the outside balcony where you can enjoy the first sun rays of the day.
This property is located 17 minutes from Richmond. It has a sizeable orchard producing superb summer fruit. The property sits alongside the former southbound railway route, so there are historic and interesting railway features located across the grounds. The Wai-Iti River runs the length of the property's north-east boundary, a length of approx 600m, providing a number of quiet spots to sit aside, plus also a swimming hole to cool off in during summer months.
The 7.9831ha of land is flat to gently contouring, lending itself to a multitude of uses.
Viewing is by appointment.
