Set atop a ridge, bathing in sunshine with sweeping, everchanging views across Waikawa Bay and out to Queen Charlotte Sound, this property enjoys a very privileged position.
Just a ten minute drive from Picton by sealed road, the concrete driveway takes you to a boat park and up to carparking, garaging and a welcoming front door. Entry to the mid level reveals a well-appointed kitchen complete with butler’s pantry, a defined dining area and a sitting room featuring a double-sided gas fire, stunning water views and ready access to extensive outdoor living complete with a barbecue area and open fire.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, each enjoying incredible views, a balcony, walk-in wardrobes and ensuite bathrooms. The lower level is all about entertaining with a home theatre and games room, a wet bar, wine cellar, guest bathroom and a huge deck to enjoy the sun. Outside, a broad staircase leads down to two separate chalets, very discreet and both boasting a double bedroom, a kitchenette, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom, ideal for hosting family, friends or short term paying guests.
Extremely well-constructed, set on rock and featuring extensive use of adzed greywacke riverstone inside and out, this home feels very safe and secure. Gardens are cleverly designed with a range of mature native trees and shrubs to provide privacy, complement the architecture and frame the views.
This property is ideal as a lock and leave permanent home for a working couple or retirees, AirBnB income or a glorified holiday home to make the most of all that is great about the Marlborough Sounds, conveniently within easy road access of all town services.
