Spectacular views to the northwest over the Ruamahanga River and Tararua Ranges, breathtaking birdsong and lush natural beauty surround this fabulous lifestyle property on the outskirts of Martinborough in the South Wairarapa. Privately nestled in a picturesque setting on 3.85 ha (STFS), Riverside Homestead is a delightful homestead cleverly combining an original homestead built in 1894 with a modern extension in 2000. Extensively renovated yet maintaining the heritage of the era is reflected in the warmth of the character from the timber floorboards to the high studs and fretwork. A fitting first impression is made upon entering the expansive entrance that leads into the office, separate formal lounge, separate dining room and guest vanity. Through the hall to a spacious kitchen and family room which opens out through numerous sliding doors to a wide verandah that flows on to the front lawn. Wonderful utility space includes a large pantry, laundry and an internally accessed generous double garage. Ascend the beautiful hand carved timber staircase to the second storey where there are four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a small studio. Complementing the home are three outbuildings - stables, garage and utility shed - as well as a potting shed. An established bush block lies to the north of the property providing a natural environment for native birds and bees.
