Seldom does an opportunity arise to own such a prized piece of New Zealand history, and rarely does that opportunity come with a stunning, private ocean view. Nestled in the outer bays of Banks Peninsula (over the hill from Little Akaloa), just over an hour from Christchurch, on over 6,000 square meters of flat, usable land, this lovely historic homestead, originally built in 1851 and added to since, offers a peaceful, secluded retreat, perfect for a substantial family holiday home or for those seeking an idyllic rural lifestyle, close to the city.
The main lounge with open plan kitchen and dining flows out to patios and the extensive grounds. 4 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms supplement the living spaces. The substantial gardens offer multiple entertaining areas, many with bay views, and extensive veggie patches include raised beds and glass covered cloches. Outbuildings include a two-car garage, a workshop and an unfinished apartment (lounge, bedroom and gallery).
With only two other homes and a bach in the bay, private beach access and unrestricted views out through The Decanter Rocks to Pegasus Bay, this is an unrivalled property, waiting to be taken to the next level. Currently rented, viewing is strictly by appointment please call to discuss and arrange a visit.
