21A Hardings Road, Riverlands, Marlborough

Exceptional lifestyle appeal, river side setting

Positioned proudly within the sought-after Riverside Estate, this exceptional lifestyle delivers water's edge serenity and passive income, all within minutes of town. Slightly elevated to maximise the picturesque outlook of established native plantings and the Opaoa River, the location is the perfect setting for whitebaiting, kayaking or simply unwinding by the water.

On entry, a large floor to ceiling window immediately captures the manicured landscaping and courtyard beyond the home, inviting you to discover all the residence has to offer. Meticulously crafted in 2023, the thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship exemplify the many modern finishes, balanced proportions and seamless flow throughout.

Every detail has been carefully considered to meet the needs of modern family life. The heart of the home is an impressive and highly functional kitchen, overlooking the open plan living. Framed by hand selected, macrocarpa timber cathedral ceilings the room provides a sense of scale with plenty of natural light spilling in from dawn to dusk. The kitchen provides high quality appliances and a generous scullery, perfect for those who love to cook.

Outdoor entertaining is fused perfectly with the main living, with stacker doors opening to connect the internal spaces to the impressive outdoor kitchen and covered deck. A sun-drenched courtyard provides the ultimate entertainer's zone, north-facing and basking in light. The space is sizeable, private and allows for all-weather enjoyment.

Accommodation is provided through three spacious double bedrooms. The sizeable master suite features dual sliding doors to the deck, his and her walk-in robes and an executive, tiled ensuite. The two further bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom in the same style, with jack and jill access from one of the rooms. There is a dedicated office space for those who need space to work from home which could be utilised as a fourth bedroom with ideal dimensions for a children's room or nursery.

Beyond the main home, a standalone cottage offers flexible living options for family or an attractive income stream either through short term or permanent accommodation. Currently tenanted, the one bedroom, one bathroom unit enjoys its own outdoor area and separate car parking. Adding further appeal, the property secures income through a share in the Riverside Estate vineyard, providing annual returns without the hands-on commitment.

A relocation north for the owners presents their exceptional home to the market for new custodians to enjoy. Set within a tightly held community celebrated for its quality homes and peaceful rural outlook, yet only moments from Blenheim's amenities, local vineyards and an easy drive to the Marlborough Sounds. A polished offering where lifestyle, location and income align; this truly is a place to savour the best of Marlborough living.
