7 Hawkins Drive, Martinborough, South Wairarapa
Overview
Opportunities like this are rare. Just a short stroll from the vibrant Martinborough Square, this exceptional 1-hectare property blends lifestyle, charm, and future potential in one of the region’s most desirable locations. The land is connected to town services—a rarity for a lifestyle block of this size—and offers uninterrupted dark sky views, making it the perfect spot to unwind under a blanket of stars.
At its heart sits a beautifully maintained 80m² character cottage featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms. When not enjoyed by the current owners, the cottage has proven itself as a successful Airbnb, generating approximately $35,000 on 30% occupancy in the past 12 months—making it both a peaceful retreat and income-generating asset.
The existing cottage can be upgraded to suit your style or adapted as a future granny flat while you build the home of your dreams elsewhere on the site.
A standout feature is the 22-year-old olive trees creating peace and privacy with multiple private building site options. Currently producing award-winning olive oil, the trees can be kept simply for ambience, professionally managed, or harvested socially like the current owners, who share their oil with friends and family and occasionally sell it at fundraisers or local farmers markets.
Whether you're seeking a serene lifestyle block, a weekend getaway, or a smart investment, this property offers it all. Live the Martinborough lifestyle today, while planning your forever home for tomorrow. It's a slice of the Martinborough dream: peaceful, productive, and brimming with potential.
