Property Description

Deadline Sale (unless sold prior)
Closing 12pm, Mon 20 Apr 2026

A self-sufficient lifestyle awaits nestled in a sun-drenched valley with breathtaking views, this delightful two-storey colonial cottage offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort on a spacious 8,844m² (more or less). Surrounded by established gardens and mature fruit trees, it promises a peaceful and private country lifestyle with plenty of room to grow your own produce.
Driving up the tree-lined driveway, you’re immediately drawn to the irresistibly quaint colonial cottage perched on the hillside—inviting you in to discover more.
Brimming with character, the home showcases beautiful period features, including a welcoming veranda with updated Kwila decking, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a mix of polished and painted timber flooring, softened with cosy scatter rugs. Leadlight windows, crisp white wall panelling and dados create a fresh, light-filled interior while honouring the home’s heritage. French doors and bi-fold windows further enhance the classic cottage charm, while every door and window frames a different view – so captivating, there’s hardly any need for artwork on the walls.
Designed for comfortable family living, the home offers two generous living areas along with a kitchen and dining space, providing flexibility and room to relax or entertain. Log burners ensure warmth and ambience through the cooler months, complemented by a heat pump for year-round comfort.
There are four bedrooms to accommodate family and guests, along with a full bathroom and the added convenience of a separate upstairs toilet and vanity – plenty of room for everyone to stretch out.
Outside, two paddocks provide space for a pony or small livestock, complementing the lifestyle appeal. A double carport, garage, and separate store shed offer ample storage for vehicles, boats, caravans, and workshop projects—ideal for “he” or “she-sheds.”
Just minutes from Pigeon Bay beach and yacht club, you can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, and water sports with ease. The tranquil rural setting encourages a slower pace of life, perfect for weekends filled with fresh air and family time.
Located 20 minutes from Akaroa village and approximately 60km from Christchurch City, you have easy access to schools, shops, cafés, and restaurants, balancing country living with convenience.
This is an excellent opportunity to own a character-filled historic home in one of Bank’s Peninsula’s best-kept secret locations.
