This gracious old lady has been completely and sympathetically renovated, retaining her beautiful, original features and rooms reminiscent of the past, including a library with cosy woodburner, a formal sitting room, bay windows, entrance hall, covered verandahs. Careful attention has been paid to ensuring a comfortable, modern lifestyle there is an extensive new kitchen and scullery, a large, sunny family room opening to a central, sheltered deck and all 4 bedrooms have stunning ensuites. The beautiful, established garden includes spectacular trees and the driveway is lined by old English oaks and copper beeches with under-plantings of spring bulbs. There is a very productive vegetable garden and stands of pine trees suitable for milling or firewood. The 5.05 ha property also includes a large art studio/home office with woodburner and an attached workshop and double carport. There are numerous other original outbuildings around the house area and a meandering tree-lined walkway to the private and peaceful pond and orchard area at the rear of the property. It is a short stroll to the nearby country church, community hall and primary school. Currently operating as an exclusive B & B, the peace and tranquillity of Otahuna has proved very popular with guests. Tucked away in a corner of the garden is a small, self-contained cottage which has also been upgraded and provides a very private retreat for visitors. Excellent potential for home and income, if the new owners are interested in continuing this enterprise. Located within easy access to Martinborough wine growing region, the shopping and eating mecca of Greytown, Wairarapa's spectacular beaches and forests and an easy commute to Wellington. |
