Built in 1877, tastefully renovated, beautifully maintained and set amidst impressive trees on three fertile hectares, ‘Woodside' offers graceful living and potential for significant income.

A bedroom with a small sitting room and bathroom in the house with independent access, named the ‘Garden Suite', plus a nearby, self-contained one bedroom apartment called ‘Adelaide's Barn' provided significant income for the previous owners. That was generally from October to April, but with the newly established Whale Trail, a cycleway from Picton to Kaikoura passing only 550m from the gate, that season will likely be extended. The grounds are also well set up to cater for outside events and functions.

The recently renovated kitchen is the heart of the home opening to dining, living and a sitting room featuring a large original open fire. Beautifully crafted native wood joinery, rarely encountered in more modern homes, creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout.

Additional income has been generated from grazing, making hay and production from 16 walnut trees. There is a recently constructed haybarn or implement shed and paddocks are well fenced for grazing. Also featured are figs, apricots, nectarines, lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit.

Close to pockets of native bush, an extensive natural wetland and the Wairau River, ‘Woodside' is 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 salmon, trout and whitebait, golf, equestrian and wine tasting. Well located with easy access to the Marlborough Sounds, wineries, beaches, Marlborough airport, Cook Strait ferries and Blenheim town centre, this property offers an extremely attractive lifestyle with income in New Zealand's sunniest region.
