5849 Christchurch Akaroa Road, Duvauchelle, Banks Peninsula, Canterbury

We are privileged to market this iconic property, long admired for its boutique accommodation. Lovingly maintained by the current owners, the home is presented to an exceptional standard, with meticulously tended gardens, immaculate exterior paint, and new Colorsteel roofing — a property where nothing has been overlooked.

Offering outstanding versatility, the Villa can be taken to the next level as boutique accommodation, returned to an elegant family home with guest quarters, embrace multigenerational living, or provide high-quality workers’ accommodation. Self-sufficiency is a highlight, with established vegetable gardens and a thriving orchard — abundant with plums, apples, pears, peaches, lemons, mandarins, and grapes. Exceptionally private, it enjoys picture-postcard estuary views framed by cabbage trees.

The main Villa features five generous double bedrooms, a beautifully renovated kitchen (2022) with timber flooring and coal range, dining for 12, and a lounge with ornamental fireplace. A sunlit veranda, boxed conservatory, and log burner create inviting spaces, while original features blend heritage with modern comfort.

A welcoming veranda opens at the front of the owners' accommodation, creating an inviting space to relax and unwind. Privately positioned at the rear of the property, the home offers both comfort and separation from the boutique operations. A charming sleepout provides additional guest space.

Lovingly tended cottage gardens weave the buildings together, creating enchanting “secret garden” pockets and natural screening throughout the grounds. Beyond their beauty, the gardens offer a sense of privacy and tranquility while supporting the self-sufficient lifestyle many aspire to, with established vegetable beds and an abundance of mature fruit trees.

With lifestyle, income potential, and timeless character, this distinctive property offers immediate opportunity, versatility, and enduring appeal — a complete offering that deserves serious consideration.
