Beautifully restored and maintained, stately ‘Woodside’ has been witnessing life in this historic corner of Marlborough for 145 years. Built of heart Rimu and selected native timber, it is a fine example of early New Zealand architecture.
Living flows from a central kitchen to dining in one direction and a sitting room in the other, opening to a verandah and a terrace complete with pergola. Polished wooden floors and joinery exude a level of craftmanship rarely encountered in more modern homes, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout.
In the main house, there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, while the adjacent Adelaide’s barn houses a self-contained one bedroom apartment, providing additional income opportunity through Air BnB or long term rental. It is a favourite with honeymooners.
The well maintained three hectare holding features 16 walnut trees plus figs, apricots, nectarines, pears, lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit. Paddocks are well fenced for grazing and have been regularly cut for hay. There is an attractive two bay haybarn and a majestic Macrocarpa which even looked large in a photo taken in 1890.
Close to pockets of native bush, an extensive natural wetland and the Wairau River, ‘Woodside’ is home to and 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 trout and salmon, diving for crayfish, white baiting, golf, equestrian, boating, sailing and wine tasting. Just down the road are numerous restaurants, bars and a handmade chocolate studio while Marlborough airport and Blenheim town centre are only 10 minutes away.
Because it is not registered for GST, new owners have the option to choose between enjoying ‘Woodside’ as a home only or running it as a business. This is an extremely attractive lifestyle option in New Zealand’s sunniest region.
