54 Rosina Corlett Lane, Omaka

Positioned on the edge of the Omaka aerodrome with views over the runway to distant mountains, a riverside park with tracks and cycling on the back doorstep, and only 3km from central Blenheim, this unique freehold property offers the opportunity to live and breathe aviation, all within walking distance of cafes, bars, shops and services. Set on 7,217 sq m, with both road and runway access, the large 750 sq m hangar has a 20 m opening and a 250 sq m apartment on a second storey. The home boasts a well-appointed kitchen, as part of 140 sq m of open-plan living with stunning elevated views. On three sides, a broad deck offers an ideal place to relax and observe action on the airfield and stunning sunsets. Bedrooms are discretely located on opposite sides of the living area, and each has its own bathroom and access to the deck. A grassed area, pop-up irrigation, a robot lawnmower and an orchard ensure the grounds are low maintenance, and attractive as well as productive. The Marlborough Aero Club is very active and the Omaka airfield, famous as the home of Classic Fighters Downunder, greets numerous planes from all around New Zealand. Next door, the Aviation Heritage Centre features Sir Peter Jacksons personal collection of memorabilia, and an extraordinary array of WWI and WWII aircraft set in impressively lifelike displays crafted by Weta Workshop. The region boasts an extensive aeronautical infrastructure with Airbus and several specialised restoration and heritage support trades on hand. This property is ideal for aviation enthusiasts looking to live with their aircraft, for associated businesses or trades wanting to work from home or providing storage and overnight accommodation beside the runway in New Zealands sunniest region. ...
