Wairau Valley at its best, Vendors off to town

If you've been searching for a lifestyle property that combines modern comfort with wide-open rural spaces, this Wairau Valley opportunity is hard to overlook.
The home itself has recently undergone thoughtful upgrades to ensure year-round comfort. Fully insulated and double glazed with thermally broken glass, it offers warmth and efficiency throughout the seasons. A brand-new wood burner paired with a heat transfer system, Wamsler wood stove and wetback also makes the living spaces cosy in winter, while large windows invite in natural light and showcase sweeping views of the rugged Richmond Ranges. With three bedrooms and 120sqm of space, it's a home that is both practical and inviting.
Outside, 3.2 hectares of flat to rolling pasture provide the freedom to graze stock, keep pets, or simply enjoy the open land as it is. The property is well complemented by a variety of outbuildings, including a garage, studio and original farm shed. These extra spaces open the door to endless options - rumpus rooms to hobbies rooms or for storage.
Recreation is right on your doorstep. Within minutes you can be fishing in the Wairau River, exploring Lake Argyle, or venturing into the Branch and Leatham Valleys. Twenty minutes north takes you to the Nelson Lakes with its village amenities, school, and ski field, while the same drive south leads to the Wairau Valley township - home to a primary school, welcoming pub, and golf course.
With no immediate neighbours, you'll enjoy a sense of privacy and freedom that's increasingly hard to find, while still being part of a connected rural community. To top it all off, this property is perfect for horses, sheep, calves, chickens and pets.
