Set on an impressive 6.8037 hectare block of land and first time on the market since 1981, this unique lifestyle property offers endless possibilities for those looking to create their own rural retreat. Positioned just moments from the tranquil waters of Takamatua Bay and a short 8 minute drive to the charming township of Akaroa, this is an opportunity to embrace space, privacy, and a self-sufficient lifestyle.

At the heart of the property sits a rustic three-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage, full of original character and ready for your personal touch. The warmth of a wood burner creates a cozy atmosphere, heating the entire home, while a newly installed heat pump provides year-round comfort. The layout includes three spacious double bedrooms, a functional bathroom, and a separate toilet for added convenience. The kitchen remains in its original condition-ideal for those who love the idea of updating and modernising to suit their own style.

Beyond the home, the land offers a wealth of opportunity. The mature olive trees stand ready for cultivation, having previously been harvested for olive oil. For those looking to run livestock, the property is well-equipped with sheep yards, a pigsty, and a woolshed. A glasshouse provides the perfect space for growing fresh produce, adding to the charm of this country setting.

Whether you're looking to farm, land bank, renovate, or simply enjoy the wide-open space, this property delivers a rare chance to make your mark. Secure your own slice of Takamatua and turn your rural dream into a reality!
