Impressive barely begins to describe this property, proudly on a beautiful corner site in the exclusive Dry Hills subdivision. Not many homes have such a commanding presence, but this, with its unique design and striking exterior is something very special.

Minutes from Blenheim's CBD, this prestigious residence makes an immediate statement with bold construction and sheer scale - 432sqm footprint (516sqm including four-car garage) on a 7,062sqm section.

Inspired by the architecture of local vineyards, the gables echo the Wither Hills behind, and the pure zinc roof will last a century. The wings of this large residence create sheltered outdoor courtyards with bubbling water features.

The interior is spectacular. The large open foyer with beautiful tiling leads to three living areas, all distinctly different and each with a view. Easy access to extensively paved courtyards is an entertainer's dream. Vaulted ceilings and glass doors fill the home with natural light, further enhancing a sense of space.

Underfloor radiant heating, along with the insulation from the Hebel walls, makes it cosy all winter long. Inbuilt joinery and exposed steel framed trusses are stunning details, while a dramatic tiled wall and fireplace define the rooms.

The kitchen has granite benchtops, quality appliances and an adjoining pantry. Connecting this is a sunny dining area with wonderful views of the established grounds.

The generous social spaces are linked by two corridors with two private zones. One dedicated to a massive master bedroom and ensuite. The other contains two very generous bedrooms, as well as a large self-contained studio with a kitchen/ensuite catering for extended family or high-end Airbnb. Upstairs is the fifth bedroom along with a semi-private space with commanding views of the Wairau Valley.

In addition to the five bedrooms, three wonderful bathrooms, an office and mezzanine floor complete the indoors.

Extensive grounds are professionally landscaped, with a reflection pool and water feature enhancing outdoor living. Neat gabion walls line the boundary and there is an orchard/vegetable garden. Established trees include a magnificent gum looking over the property while weeping willows flank the lovely pond. Four-car garaging and generous off-street parking mean plenty of room for boats, caravans and other vehicles.

Undeniably in a class of its own, an idyllic lifestyle awaits with this executive property. Call Kris Gibson today.
