Marty is no stranger to hard work and dedication, having spent 24yrs with the NZ Navy, including Secondments Peacekeeping with the UN. He then moved to Marlborough 20 years ago, purchasing Thymebank (a hydroponic lettuce and herb business), which he went on to grow to a nationally recognised and Trusted Brand, prior to selling the business. He believes that hard work and dedication were the key ingredients to his success. Marty is also an active sportsperson, having represented New Zealand in age group Triathlon and Ironman as a younger man, he has now proved that age is no barrier having again qualified for the Hawaii Ironman World Championships again this year, 30 years since first competing there. Marty is actively involved in establishing and growing Water Polo in the province, which has seen Marlborough teams achieve national honors. He is now transferring his experience and work ethic to growing and strengthening the Harcourts team. Marty believes relationships are the cornerstone to any business transaction. “It’s not necessarily about selling, it’s more about forming relationships, adding value and establishing trust. If someone wants to see me for advice, they don’t have to be selling anything, we can just catch up for a cuppa and a chat”.
27-hectare Marlborough Sounds property located on the north bank of Four Fathom Bay, (which the current owners have enjoyed for 25years), has now come available for you to enjoy the lifestyle that only a property like this can provide. Hunting, fishing, and a great growing climate make this the perfect location for that self-sufficient life that we all long for. Power bills are a thing of the past with a complete "off the grid" solar power system, backed up with a 7.5-kilowatt generator. The three bedroom house with stunning water views is supplemented by a large four bay shed, one bay used as a lockable workshop, plus two smaller utility sheds. Spring water is fed into two 25000lt tanks for storage. Access to the outside world is via internet and landline, or an easy 30-minute boat ride to Havelock. The house is a 200m walk on a gentle track to your own jetty, with your own mooring just off the end of the jetty. This waterfront property offers two buying options to the purchaser: OPTION ONE - Purchase the "House and Land" and leave the forestry cutting rights to the current owner to organise. You can then replant the land in the trees of your choice.
OPTION TWO - Purchase the property and forestry, (which is due for harvest in the near future), allowing you to reap the rewards from the ever rising log prices. To be sold plus GST if any
