2 Kaituna-Tuamarina Road, Blenheim

Built in 1877, tastefully renovated, beautifully maintained and set amidst grand old trees on three fertile hectares, Woodside offers graceful living and a six-figure income. An independently accessed suite in part of the house, the Garden Suite, and the adjacent self-contained Adelaides Barn provide income from short term visitor accommodation. The busy period has been Labour Weekend to Easter but that may well extend with the establishment of the Whale Trail cycle track 550m from the gate. There would also be opportunity to host functions and the barn has always been popular with honeymooners. A well-appointed kitchen is the heart of the home while open plan living and dining is complemented by a separate sitting room with an impressive open fire. Beautifully crafted joinery, rarely encountered in more modern homes, creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout. Additional income has been generated from grazing, making hay and production from 16 walnut trees. There is a recently constructed haybarn or implement shed and paddocks are well fenced for grazing. Also featured are figs, apricots, nectarines, lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit. Close to pockets of native bush, an extensive natural wetland and the Wairau River, Woodside is regularly visited by numerous birds, including Bellbird, Tui, Spoonbill, Kereru, Heron, Falcon, Kingfisher, Swallows and several species of duck. Activities on the doorstep include tramping and hiking, cycling, fishing for salmon, trout and whitebait, golf, equestrian and wine tasting. Well located with easy access to the Marlborough Sounds, wineries, beaches, Marlborough airport, Cook Strait ferries and Blenheim town centre, this property offers an extremely attractive lifestyle with income in New Zealands sunniest region....
