<b> The Crown Jewel - Martinborough - South Wairarapa </b> Entering the home through a generous 14 x 14m courtyard to a grand entrance hall and a spectacular lake view and enjoying all day sun, this outstanding house has a superb location being sited in a semi-rural development at the end of a cul-de-sac but only a few minutes walk to the wine village of Martinborough. The exacting standards of workmanship and presentation throughout, the owners creative design both in the home and surrounding grounds, and the awe-inspiring views to the Tararuas over a 1 acre lake together with the amazing Wairarapa sunsets result in this being, without doubt, one of the finest properties in the South Wairarapa. This home built in 2008 comprises of 3 double bedrooms, his and her studies and a 7 x 13m living room/kitchen with butler's pantry. An additional family sitting room or 4th bedroom leads onto the walled courtyard. The owners have installed throughout the house "state of the art" lighting and heating systems. In addition to the home and garaging there is a building containing woodshed, garden shed, pool shed, tool shed and single garage/workshop. The 1.9 hectare lot has been extensively and thoughtfully landscaped with native trees. A large grassed area to the North East of the house could be developed as a tennis court. There are three separate outside dining areas and a 5 x 9.2m in-ground pool. A chance not to be missed as properties of this calibre rarely come to the market.
