20 Stump Creek Road, Rapaura, Marlborough

Have you been searching for a property with the WOW factor? Often admired by those travelling the Rapaura district roads, Culraid ('hidden sanctuary') is an idyllic and tranquil retreat. Entry to the property is over an ivy draped bridge from which park-like grounds spread, providing views reminiscent of an English estate. Established specimen trees, a native block and varied orchard trees shield the grounds and house from the outside world, while providing shelter for the home stock and pets. Make no mistake, you aren't tucked away in rural isolation, within eight minutes you can be in Blenheim's shopping centre or the Renwick township, with Rapaura School mere minutes away. Deceptively simple lines hide a well-designed home, where country style, practicality and modern functionality co-exist harmoniously. A stunning new kitchen, with butler's pantry and access to the sheltered BBQ area on the eastern deck.
There are multiple features that will inspire the home-chef. Combined with the expansive windows that frame the ever-changing scenery, this is a sunny spot that you won't want to move from. Upstairs, the gabled ceilings add a light and airy feel to the ensuited master bedroom and guest room. With open plan family living, plus a separate TV lounge and substantial north facing deck on which to enjoy alfresco dining, you are spoilt for choice for leisure and relaxation areas. An additional rumpus room above the double garage would easily covert to an office or studio. Outbuildings include workshops and ample storage for vehicles, wood and machinery. There's even a small rustic sheep yard to complete the picture. Stump Creek merges with Spring Creek along the northern boundary providing a haven for eels, trout and freshwater crays while a mini jetty juts over the stream and the resident rowboat provides fun year-round. It's an inspiration for anyone. So private, so peaceful, so why would our vendors ever consider leaving? Priorities change and a move is underway. Arrange an exclusive viewing and imagine your life within this artist's landscape. Offers will be considered prior to auction date.
