79 French Farm Valley Road, French Farm, Canterbury 7582

Situated in the heart of picturesque French Farm, is the distinctive and unique Valley Road Vineyard, including a 3 bedroom home, two separate self-contained and self-catering accommodation areas, licensed wine tasting room with cellar door for direct sales of the French Peak Wine brand.

The beautiful setting, with a magnificent outlook over Akaroa Harbour, oozes tranquillity and offers an unequalled lifestyle.

The home is located on an elevated site, is completely private, and is set amongst an appealing mature landscaped garden comprising predominantly native species. As a result, birdlife is abundant and spectacular. The home was substantially renovated 4 years ago.

The other main building - the timber frame barn - contains the executive attic apartment which sleeps 4. There is a wine tasting room, vineyard office, workshop and cool storage area. There is a covered walkway along the back with a laundry area. At the front is a 3 bay garage/implement shed.

An additional accommodation option is available in the form of a fully self contained wagon which sleeps two, complete with shower and toilet. It has spectacular views of the harbour, and an outdoor woodfired bath tub to relax in while gazing at the incredible night sky.

The mature and fully producing vineyard, which is operated under organic/bio-dynamic management, is planted in Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. There is a trellis area of 3.09 hectares. The vineyard lies to the north on gently sloping land. Grapes produced are utilised in the French Peak wine brand. The vineyard, cellar door and wine brand are currently leased out.

The quality wines produced have gained a strong following, are increasingly sought after through New Zealand outlets, and by the increasing numbers of visitors to the property.

A large 2 bay shed is situated at the centre of the vineyard, and used to store the tractor, full set of over-row nets, along with vineyard plant and equipment. Adjacent is a hard pad for the two water tanks - fresh and rain water - as well as a secure chemical shed. There is a full range of vineyard plant and equipment available.

A complete enterprise combining vineyard, wine and accommodation business, set on 4.5 hectares, in an unequalled and special environment, resulting in a superb lifestyle opportunity, within easy reach of Christchurch and Akaroa.

Rarely does a property of this calibre, in this location, with all the features and attributes of the beautiful and picturesque French Farm Valley, become available.
