This is an opportunity you won't find every day.
This is surely a most memorable opportunity for those seeking to call our French Coast home. An almost finished but not quite classic contemporary home with views as far as the eye can see down Akaroa Harbour and the space and seclusion that only 6000 sqms will give you.
Yes, our owners circumstances have changed and now the baton is changing hands. The house was remodelled off the old floor plan of the original house. But made better, extended slightly and given a flow which it did not have. Plans have also been drawn that will show further subdivision potential is possible on this large parcel of land.
This has been a labour of love. Our owners have added space for decks and outdoor living spaces that created extensions of the interior, vastly enhancing the indoor/outdoor flow we all aim for. It made sense to create a lounging area around the pool plus a protected courtyard out from the master bedroom where a spa pool could sit.
The new design plan was for 288 sqms, comfortably large sized rooms, plenty of room to move, generous in size. A great family home is what the aim was. This home was designed with heart and soul by the owners for the next owners, you.
The intended style of the home blends classic and modern elements to create a timeless and sophisticated look. The ceiling is a pitched roof line which a coastal feel - a sense of space.
The views from the south side of the house, (bedrooms, ensuite, bathroom, kitchen and living), look straight down Akaroa Harbour to the Heads with clear views of Robinsons Bay and Takamatua.
The view south when a storm is brewing is spectacular as the blackened skies approach. To make it perfect for a 'cosy night in' our owners have made space for large fireplaces in both lounges as well as an underfloor heat pump system option for the house.
The Kitchen is a large space with scullery off to the side, plenty of scope for entertaining. The master bedroom has a magnificent ensuite with walk-in-robe.
The pool room is accessible from the front porch and outside entry into the proposed wet room. This space could be a 4th bedroom or a studio as an option to a pool room, with a view of the hills and the afternoon sun. The laundry is large with a back door leading out to the clothesline courtyard. Potentially a wonderful powder room by the entry, easy access for family, friends and guests.
There is an internal staircase planned which takes you down to the double garage and workshop. The length of the basement is a huge selling point. An impressive 25 metres in length and with space between the garage and work shop for an office, a Zen room for yoga as well as ample storage for storing ski gear and suitcases.
Passionate gardeners, our owners inherited a garden originally planted with exotics amongst natives. They have continued this theme with mass planted areas that give a sweep of colour or texture. The rear of the home for example, is a walk through of a native wilderness, literally woodlands. Bliss it sounds. Bliss it could be. Your sanctuary.
