25 Bay End, Rarangi, Marlborough, Marlborough

There are properties you live in. And then there are properties that become part of your story. Welcome to 25 Bay End, Rarangi - a remarkable waterfront estate on New Zealand's spectacular South Island, where lavender-lined gardens meet the edge of Cloudy Bay. Set across more than a hectare of private grounds, this is a place that feels wonderfully removed from the everyday. Wake to the changing colours of the sea, wander through the gardens, entertain beneath the gazebo and watch the light move across the water towards the distant North Island. The outstanding property offers a beautifully crafted main residence, generous guest accommodation and the flexibility to create the lifestyle you have always imagined. For some, it may simply be an extraordinary family home. For others, the separate accommodation and unforgettable setting could inspire ideas of boutique guest stays, Airbnb-style hosting, retreats or private escapes for family and friends. And then there is the lavender. More than simply a beautiful feature of the landscape, it gives this property a character all of its own - creating a sense of arrival and an experience that guests will remember long after they leave. Recently recognised as Stuff's Lifestyle Property of the Year, this is not a property competing with suburban homes. It is something altogether different. A private coastal sanctuary. A place to gather. A place to escape. And perhaps, for the right buyer, the beginning of an entirely new chapter. Welcome to 25 Bay End, Rarangi. A little piece of New Zealand that feels like nowhere else.
