UNDER CONTRACT; Multi-Award Winning Gladstone Vineyard, Winery & Restaurant
This is a superb wine estate in the heart of Gladstone, Wairarapa, New Zealand.
Gladstone Vineyard presents a unique opportunity to purchase an established, high quality wine business on a growth path to becoming one of New Zealand's leading boutique wineries.
The grounds are beautiful and welcoming and the 13 hectares of vineyards, wine-making facilities, restaurant, cellar door and accommodation attracts nearly 3,000 visitors per year - and there are still further income streams to explore.
There are two vineyard properties - the home block at 340 Gladstone Road and is an area of 10.5 hectares with 2.7 hectares in planted vines, and the Dakin's Road block is an area of 10 hectares all planted in vines. The vendor leases a further 10 hectares of vineyards from local growers. There are options locally to increase production further as required.
At the home block, the architecturally designed winery building was completed in 2005 and has the infrastructure in place to process up to 500 tonnes of grapes. Nearby is the old winery that houses the tasting area, commercial kitchen and some barrel storage. A restaurant building for 60 diners opens onto a grass area which can cater for upwards of 80 customers. This is available for family and group bookings and events as required (weddings, functions, birthday parties).
The homestead is a two storey Edwardian villa, with balcony and verandah, built in 1906 it sits on a commanding elevated site overlooking the vineyard. It is approached on a 300 metre driveway with duck pond on one side and vines on the other. The house has three bedrooms, a bunkroom and bathroom on the upper level, and dining and entertaining spaces downstairs. The large kitchen and living area 'lean-to' was modernized in 2000 and a spacious deck, with barbecue and spa follows the sun from morning to night. The house is a two-minute walk from the winery and associated facilities.
Adjoining the house is a two story garage building with space for three cars and an office space upstairs.
At Dakins Road, there is a large implement and equipment storage shed.
Sales of Gladstone Vineyard wines in New Zealand and internationally have grown steadily and carefully from a small lifestyle operation of about 1000 cases in 1996 to an export-focused business that in recent vintages has crushed over 150 tonnes (8000-10,000 cases).
New export routes to market have been established. New importers in Singapore, the Philippines, Japan and the UK have been appointed, and export sales have continued to grow with expected expansion into new markets, including the USA, South America and Indonesia in the coming 1-2 years.
Existing plantings and winemaking facilities have the potential to grow the business to produce around 15,000 cases. Gladstone Vineyard has also developed considerable expertise and a growing reputation for contract winemaking.
The wine industry is showing renewed confidence and there is opportunity to grow production and sales a further 100% to approximately 20,000 cases over the next 3-5 years. This requires capital injection of plant and working capital.
The hard work has been done, there is an international market already established and this developing vineyard is ready to go the next stage.
What an opportunity to get out of the city and enjoy a provincial lifestyle in the heart of the wonderful Wairarapa!

Gladstone, New Zealand
Gladstone is a lightly populated locality in the Carterton District of New Zealand's North Island, located on the Mangahuia Stream near where the Tauweru River joins the Ruamahanga River. The nearest town is Carterton 15 kilometres to the northwest, and nearby settlements include Ponatahi to the west and Longbush to the south. It was named after British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone.
Gladstone is primarily a farming community and some viticulture occurs in the area. Viticultural activity is increasing as winemakers realise the potential of soil and climate that produce low yielding rich concentrated grapes. Gladstone also has a number of small businesses and industries, including cafes, homestays, and a wheelwright shop.
The Gladstone Inn, known to locals as 'The Gladdy', is Gladstone's iconic pub and it was voted by the Hospitality Association of New Zealand as the best country hotel in New Zealand in 2006.
Gladstone School is the local primary school accommodating approximately 100 children. This has been the main school for the area since the closure of schools in Longbush, Maungaraki, and Te Whiti in 1968. Over the last decade, the school has gained popularity and is now taking children from further away, including Carterton, Martinborough, and Masterton.
A sports complex is located in Gladstone near the pub. It is the home of Gladstone's rugby union and hockey clubs.
The Wairarapa Pistol & Shooting Sports Club has a shooting range in the area.
Thirty-four deceased soldiers from Gladstone and its surrounds are commemorated by a small roadside war memorial, and part of the main road between Masterton and Gladstone is lined with 36 memorial oaks. Why there are thirty-six rather than thirty-four oaks is unknown.

Top of the Class
Welcome to magical Martinborough, where the local School Master’s House has been completely reinvigorated with immaculate style.
A treasured piece of this Wairarapa town’s history, the house and grounds have enjoyed the attention of an experienced interior designer and creative gardener for the past eight years. The original dwelling has sympathetic extensions designed by leading local architect, Max Edridge and the home now sits in pride of place on this grand property with five bedrooms, three living areas and three bathrooms.
A glittering entrance hall with guest facilities offers a warm welcome. It flows to the formal sitting room with sets of French doors leading to the delightful garden. The Warmington log burner does its job with doors open for ambience or closed for comfort. Decorative plaster ceiling rounds carry large chandeliers, with original polished floorboards underfoot.
Next is the open plan kitchen, dining and family living area, with sun-hugging skylight(s) and this luxurious window seat. The dining zone and another log burner mean heart-warming dinner parties in winter, or throw open the doors to flow out to the garden in summer.
An office nook is tucked away, but close to the kitchen and social centre of the house. A granite-topped kitchen island is set up for communal cooking and celebrating local wines, and the scullery with second sink, a separate pantry and large Ilve electric oven with gas hob will turn out as much home-cooked goodness as you require.
Another separate lounge offers peace, plush carpet and the quick comfort of one of four heat pumps in the house.
Enjoy entertaining in the afternoon sun on the wide veranda.
The two downstairs bedrooms with doors out to the veranda offer easy ground floor access and views of the front garden. A separate laundry with underfloor heating and extra toilet make modern living easy. Upstairs are three more bedrooms and two bathrooms, both with underfloor heating.
The top balcony offers the most stunning views of the Tararua mountain range. Even the bathtub has a view, with it’s cleverly positioned long window.
The property has been carefully planned and upgraded around precious old trees such as plum, oak and weeping elm. Apple, pear, cherry and quince trees also grace the garden, with a solid chook run and laying box ready for egg production.
Outdoor lovers will enjoy the all the whimsical garden zones. The back garden was once a rugby field. The owners shifted the goal posts and created imaginative curiosities around the property. `The Ruins’ were built with an old historic feel, grapes growing over a pergola and an outdoor fireplace. The Folly, with its buxus hedging and peony beds, plus the Knot Garden, give everyone a unique place to retreat. More peony beds exhibit the joys of spring.
The front circular driveway is wide enough for cars to pass in tandem. A three-car garage with drive-through access and breezeway to the house has many possibilities. As does the huge former school bus shed.
Enjoy the history of the School Master’s House and let its modern elements accommodate and cater to your lifestyle.

Brady Bingham from Harcourts Hamill Realty in the Wairarapa and today he's here on Jellicoe Street with one of the finest homes in Greytown to tempt you with.
Here you are only a few minutes stroll from the shops. And this, is one of those rare family homes that works so well — it has hardly changed since the day it was built – 90 years ago.
And this sense of capacious easy confidence welcomes you in – the minute you wander down the driveway.
Built to impress in the English Country Revival style — as an entertainers dream in 1927 — this grand and generously proportioned two story home was quickly dubbed the ‘over-the-top, and ridiculously comfortable weekender’, by the envious townsfolk of the day!
With still more than three thousand square metres of well laid out and fully established grounds the property is so very private. And also remarkably easy care — so you have more time to enjoy the good life with your family. You can imagine just how pleasant it would have been to pull up here in your Model A Ford — back in the day!
The vendor is an accomplished interior designer and this substantial 1920’s family home has been treated to a lavish renovation of the highest standard and specifications — while retaining the proven layout, existing character and easy charm of the period.
This entrance hall still impresses every guest.
As will the local wines and nibbles served so very chilled in this fantastically formal sitting room with its open fire for those cosy winter nights.
Or glide on through to your choice of the dining room and library with it’s impeccable original wood panelling — or the billiard room with it’s table finished in uniquely original black felt.
This home was featured in the January 2015 issues of NZ House&Garden magazine and as you wander around here it’s easy to see why. At the heart of the house is the award winning, custom built farmhouse kitchen. With soft close cabinetry, integrated double fridge/freezer, dishwasher and double sink. The Falcon 5-burner induction hob and double oven, range extractor and scullery all mean that yours is the kitchen they’ll love the best!
Upstairs are 5 expansive double bedrooms. The master shines with it’s own double wardrobing, dressing room and ensuite with tiled shower and Perrin & Rowe fittings, imported from Europe.
Our favourite room in the house though, simply must be this incredible sunroom.
Imagine the laid back lazy weekends to be had right here. And from up here you can see how close the Greytown clocktower is — and then through to the Tararuas.
On the other side of the upstairs level is the large family bathroom with tiled shower, soak tub, double sinks and more of these extremely elegant European fittings.
Then there is the pool. Heated and self-cleaning with integrated cover and water feature. In the far corner behind the pool is the secret herb and vege garden. Throughout the grounds there is a wonderful assortment of fruit trees for your kids to discover. The carport fits with the lines of the house and has seperate lockup storage.
Along the back entrance way are several incredibly handy service rooms. A fully equipped laundry, dairy, meat shed, wood shed and even outside toilet and shower with heated flooring.
This is a real and substantial sanctuary for your family. There is so much on offer here that you really need to visit and explore it all for yourself.
Viewings are strictly by appointment. For more information or to see for yourself, call Brady Bingham on 0800 4 BRADY or Janet Suisted on 027 668 3550. Harcourts Hamill Realty Ltd. Licensed Agents, REAA 2008.
