This boutique hotel offers a new owner the opportunity to combine a healthy and diverse lifestyle with an interesting and profitable business which naturally scales down during winter, allowing for a holiday.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.

Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.

A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.

This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.

Offers from $2,500,000 plus GST (if any)

Kia Ora Neighbourly whanau,

My name is Racquel Duffy and I am a mother of four young children. As i age and as my children grow i realize more and more daily the affect that general daily living is having on our world. It is now my mission to do my part to help preserve our planet, not only for my children but for all future generations. I aim to showcase and educate all on a source from mother nature that when grown can create thousands of products that can heal our planet and our bodies. Hemp is an accident plant that for hundreds of years housed, clothed, fueled and medicated the people of the land. Products made from Hemp can be recycled, reused and are 100% bio degradable. Hemp can also help global warming because it takes in large amounts of carbon dioxide.
I am currently in the process of opening a Hemp store show casing, all that can be made of hemp.
Please assist me on my Hemp journey by following the link and participating and a quick survey.
surveyhero.com...

Please email everythinghempnz@gmail.com with your name and email address once you have completed the survey to receive an invitation to the grand opening of my Hemp store.

Kind regards
