• Ponatahi is a luxury property, ideally suited to operate as a premium lodge
• Situated on a private road where local families have farmed for six generations
• Located in the vibrant wine region of Wairarapa, home to 30 wineries producing iconic, internationally acclaimed boutique wines
Ponatahi presents the opportunity to be run as an ultra-premium private luxury lodge. Offering extensive amenities including: seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, multiple living areas (543sqm), staff/guest house (76sqm), business centre (101sqm), pool house (56sqm) and garage/workshop (159sqm).
Additional features of the property include a 20m outdoor swimming pool, spa pool, tennis court, gym, pavilion, a belvedere/jetty and two private courtyards opening to a vast landing lawn with ample room to land a helicopter.
Designed by New Zealand Architect Stuart Gardyne, the property is often referred to as 'The House Wrapped in Literature', with 120 glass panels around the exterior walls with a poem sandblasted onto the panels, creating a true architectural masterpiece in rural New Zealand.
The Wairarapa is just over an hour's drive from the capital city Wellington, a 1 hour 40 minute train ride or a 15 minute helicopter flight.
To own one of New Zealand's stellar homes is extremely rare. Add to that the chance to run it as a premium lodge and the prospect, individually or in union, is a once in a lifetime opportunity and not to be missed.
