937 Kenepuru Road, Marlborough Sounds, Marlborough

Mid-century Mahau magic

Please watch the video to see more of this beautiful property.

First time on the market in over 30 years, this unique builders-own permanent material home of weatherboard, long-run steel and concrete slab is a genuine box ticker. Lovers of mid-century architecture will appreciate the generous high ceilings, extensive solid timber panelling, impressive stone open fire and soaring Oregon beams the length of home and deck. 

Discover unsurpassed cooking, winter warmth and excess hot water courtesy of the magnificent Rayburn Royal wet-back double-oven. Shoji screens separate generous kitchen/dining from spacious living and conservatory areas where the open fire is focal. Step out to expansive decking with glorious views and spectacular sunsets over the Kenepuru and Mahau sounds. 

Enjoy toasty underfloor heating on the upper level comprising two spacious bedrooms, large double-access bathroom and separate toilet. The master opens to a private courtyard with stunning sea views. An added bonus is the adjoining self-contained separate-entrance flat - perfect for large family gatherings or a savvy income opportunity.  

Drive on to the rare flat-access elevated site with room aplenty for vehicles and boats and enjoy stunning views across the sounds. Take a short walk down a private track to the golden beach for paddling, swimming and building sandcastles. A day of adventures out on the water is as easy as launching your boat directly off the beach. 

Willow Bay is a haven of lush native bush, home to a select few permanent and weekend residents and a multitude of tui, kereru and bellbirds. Drive an hour from Blenheim, 40 minutes from Picton or boat 20 minutes from Havelock, and relax, with no lawns to mow in this serene paradise.

Our vendors have loved and cherished this magical Mahau home, but it is now time to pass this very special property to its next caretakers.
