This property presents your chance to load the wagons and set off for your very own New World. 3.65 hectares (9 acres) of greatly improved land just begging for someone to start living the dream.

With uninhibited views of pasture, trees, hills - all under the open canopy of the big Marlborough sky, this sunny parcel in paradise features two wells capable of irrigation to the fully fenced and gated boundaries making it eminently suitable for establishing some natives, small scale cropping or raising beasts. If you've ever dreamt of self-sufficiency and independence this is the perfect place to translate dream to action.

The house site has been orientated to optimise all day sun with power lines already to the site and a whopping four bay 20X9 metre shed to accommodate the utilities while building progresses. Grab your kayak and have an early morning paddle in the Opawa River or the binos and escape for a few hours of quiet bird watching. Adjacent to wetlands, white-baiting and surfcasting there is plenty of activities to engage family members at any age and stage in life.

Despite its isolated splendour this property is only an eight minute easy commute to Blenheim. Nip into town for supplies, drop the kids at school, hit the gym, meet a friend, relax with a latte and head home.

Only eight minutes apart yet quite literally worlds away, this listing presents the very best elements of rural seclusion and city convenience. Contact Glenn Kirby for further information.
