Description
Discover a property where architectural brilliance meets serene rural living - a masterpiece of design, function, and comfort set on 2.13 Ha of landscaped gardens and easy-care land.
Perfectly positioned between Martinborough and Greytown, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home blends contemporary sophistication with relaxed countryside charm - an ideal balance of family sanctuary, guest retreat, or boutique income opportunity.
Every detail has been carefully considered. The master suite exudes luxury with a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and designer-tiled en-suite, while bedrooms two and three each feature Italian-tiled en-suites, private entrances, and refined joinery - perfect for visiting family, independent living, or premium five-star AirBnB accommodation.
At the heart of the home, the light-filled living pavilion is an entertainer’s dream, where kitchen, dining, and lounge flow effortlessly to the sun-soaked northwest patio and pristine lawns. The gourmet kitchen impresses with a generous central island, stone benchtops, premium appliances, and a full walk-in scullery, complemented by a dedicated espresso station and an indulgent wine cellar built around a meticulously restored 135-year-old bank vault - a striking fusion of luxury and character.
A defining architectural feature, the master pavilion is anchored by a spine of imported Belgian bricks that run seamlessly from interior to exterior, their rich tones and texture adding warmth and European craftsmanship to the contemporary form. Designer touches continue throughout, from Swedish Borastapeter wallpaper in the chic powder room to the JetMaster open fireplace providing year-round ambience.
Additional highlights include a fully lined, carpeted internal-access double garage with integrated laundry and attic storage, and a 42 sq m secondary shed with sectional doors and ranch sliders, ideal for creative projects or extra storage. Three 30,000L water tanks with fire hydrant connection, plus a 15,000L? garden tank, ensure full serviceability. Level lawns, structured plantings, and fenced guest areas offer privacy and tranquillity, while ducted i-zone climate control, commercial-grade air systems, Cat 6e data cabling, CCTV security, and premium lighting design provide comfort and convenience throughout.
Finished in low-maintenance cladding, with elegant cedar and signature Belgian brick detailing, this property exemplifies modern rural refinement. Subtle exterior down-lighting illuminates the home at night, enhancing the beauty of the surrounding Dark Sky Reserve.
Here, sophistication meets serenity - a lifestyle of understated luxury where every day feels like an escape. Boundary lines indicative only.
