Old Bankhouse, Renwick, Marlborough
By negotiation
Incredibly, this stunning landmark property has been in the same family since 1840 which must be some sort of record, and potential buyers are sure to fall in love with its timelessness and elegance -teamed with modern conveniences. The country-style garden is well-known and has attracted many visitors over the years. It could well provide an opportunity for holding income-producing events such as weddings, subject to approval. The other exciting thing is that the property holds potential for growing grapes, on land that fronts the Waihopai River and resource consent for irrigation has already been granted. The agents say that subdivision is another possibility for new owners who might want the house and garden, but not all of the 2316805sqm section. The possibilities really are endless in this leafy paradise.
