This hidden sanctuary, currently operated as a Bed and Breakfast, offers both income opportunity and a dream lifestyle, nestled in the Grehan Valley of Akaroa and bounded by the Grehan stream. An enchanting 7385sqm oasis set amid the serenity of native bush and meticulously landscaped grounds, it is without question a piece of paradise. It's like being in another world with unbelievable views from almost every room of the magical, well established park-like sanctuary and surrounding valley.
The primary brick and cedar residence built in 1983 and designed by prominent architect David Brocherie of Brocherie Cumberpatch oozes warmth and style, with its new country style kitchen, open plan dining and living area, separate art studio and deck area to maximise garden views and sunshine whilst enjoying the abundant birdlife.
Upstairs generous accommodation is provided with two double bedrooms, a study and a bathroom. The beautifully appointed garden room on the ground floor with its own en-suite and kitchenette facilities, separate entrance and beautiful vistas of the grounds is perfect for a weekend retreat.
Iconic Mill Cottage, built in 1852 radiates pure, rustic romance. A major project in 1996 designed by John Penlington, Wellington architect upgraded the integrity of the cottage. Just recently it has been re-decorated throughout with beautiful soft furnishings and beautifully furnished. There are two bedrooms upstairs whilst the ground floor enjoys another bedroom with an en-suite, a separate living room and a well-equipped kitchen with open plan dining. A wood-burner provides cosy warmth in the colder winter months, whilst the kitchen opens to the sun-drenched barbeque area, perfect for a glass of wine in the late afternoon whilst you enjoy the beautiful birdsong.
Beyond that lie pathways and hidden nooks and crannies beside the stream that once powered Canterbury's first water-driven flour mill. Alternatively, if the flavour of France takes your fancy you can wander down to the Village, just an easy 10 minute walk away and discover the quaint shops, cafes and restaurants.
The irrigated grounds are picture-perfect and include fruit trees and a berry house, raised vegetable boxes all enjoying the micro-climate. A workshop, wood sheds and implement sheds offer functionality and production potential.
With too many features to list, an extensive chattel and furniture inventory, this truly unique property (and the opportunity if offers) must be viewed to be appreciated.
