Priced well below RV for immediate sale, this exceptional property represents outstanding value and a rare opportunity to secure a substantial lifestyle holding. Due to a change in health circumstances, the owners are committed to moving into town and are motivated to sell.
Positioned for all-day sun and complete privacy, the home spans 20.09 hectares, capturing sweeping views from the sparkling waters of Akaroa Harbour in one direction to the rugged beauty of Montgomery Peak in the other.
Inside, soaring timber ceilings and a striking stone fireplace anchor the main living space with warmth and character. Crafted with quality and longevity in mind, the detailing is impressive — Rimu architraves and skirtings, Rimu flooring, European Ash kitchen cabinetry, and Macrocarpa beams and sarked ceilings create a cohesive, natural aesthetic that connects beautifully with the surrounding landscape visible from every window.
Built in 2004 to the owners' specifications by a highly respected Akaroa craftsman with a cabinet-making background, the home is both attractive and solidly constructed. An adaptable room on the main floor is currently used as a home office/study, but could easily become a third bedroom if desired
The master suite is a true retreat, framed by expansive picture windows that showcase the harbour outlook. Its luxurious ensuite, inspired by the surrounding blue and turquoise waters, flows seamlessly into a walk-in wardrobe, creating an elegant circular layout.
Timber-lit stairs lead to a fully self-contained lower-level wing with its own entrance, bathroom and kitchenette — ideal for guests, extended family, teenagers or potential supplementary income.
Garaging beneath the home is extensive and highly functional. One side operates as a workshop with room for the family vehicle, while the second garage accommodates a ride-on mower and garden tools and includes a dedicated digital photography room — a rare bonus that could easily be converted into another bedroom.
Comfort is assured with a diesel-fired hot water boiler system supplying underfloor heating through reinforced concrete flooring on both levels.
Beyond the home, established walking tracks weave across the property for peaceful loops or longer adventures. A natural spring water supply services the home, and neighbouring cattle graze the land, offering the benefits of rural character without the full workload. The mature bush setting also lends itself to potential eco-style sleeping pods for those exploring tourism or lifestyle investment options.
Located close to Hwy 75 approximately 60 minutes to Halswell and just 20 minutes to Akaroa village, this property delivers the perfect balance — secluded, private and immersed in nature, yet accessible when needed.
