Property Description

Deadline Sale: Offers to be presented at 3:00pm on Wednesday 19 August with Harcourts Merivale, 175 Papanui Road, Merivale (unless sold prior).

A rare opportunity to secure an established vineyard, multiple income streams, and a beautifully renovated character home, all nestled beneath the rolling Waipara Hills.

Set across approximately 6.88 hectares of premium grape-growing land, this well-established property offers the perfect balance of lifestyle and investment. The vineyard is predominantly contractor-managed, delivering reliable returns with minimal day-to-day involvement, while still providing the flexibility for new owners to take a more hands-on approach and further enhance its potential.

Adding to the income is a fully self-contained cottage, currently operating successfully as a sought-after B&B accommodation option.

At the heart of the property is a charming four-bedroom villa, surrounded by established, park-like grounds and commanding sweeping vineyard views. Thoughtfully renovated to retain its character while embracing modern comfort, the home features light-filled living spaces, a country-style kitchen, formal lounge and dining areas, and effortless indoor-outdoor flow to a wraparound veranda and beautifully landscaped entertaining spaces. Two well-appointed bathrooms, including one with underfloor heating, excellent insulation, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere complete this exceptional home.

The vineyard is planted in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with grafted vines, a reliable water supply, frost protection, and sustainability certification already in place offering a quality, productive operation in one of North Canterbury's most respected wine-growing regions.

Ideally positioned just minutes from State Highway 1, the property enjoys a strategic location on the gateway to Kaikoura, Hanmer Springs, the West Coast, Nelson, and Marlborough, making it well placed to benefit from regional tourism and visitor traffic.

Whether you're seeking a proven income, a rewarding lifestyle, or the opportunity to combine both, this outstanding property delivers an exceptional package in a highly desirable location.
