Private Family Sanctuary for Summer

Give yourself the gift this Christmas of securing one of the most coveted addresses in our French village.

On offer is this charming, private family residence positioned so perfectly for village life and beach walks, and yet, is so privately tucked away in its own garden that you'll think you're in paradise.

Wonderfully spacious both inside and out with a sheltered, established, easy care garden that won't detract from long lazy summer days.

Rarely do seaside homes tick so many boxes. But tick she does.

Downstairs is a rare-as-hens-teeth double garage (plus extra room off street for the toys). An extra bonus is the roomy, self-contained accommodation downstairs with own bathroom and separate WC. Perfect for Christmas overflows or income potential. The garden offers several nooks to hide away in the welcome shade from the day's heat, or ample room for those contested family volleyball games. The tiled studio next door suggests possible work from home options to entice a more permanent approach to this offering.

Upstairs the generous, sun-soaked deck overlooks our gorgeous harbour and as you can imagine, is the spot for family to gather throughout the day. Resident Tuis, Bellbirds and Kerereu frequently make themselves known and those verdant valley views behind the house are beautiful in their simplicity.

There's a reason why Akaroa real estate is hot right now as the rest of the world discovers our hidden gem. If affordable coastal living is essential to your quality of life, you owe it to yourself to come over and see what all the fuss is about.

After many happy years in Rue Lavaud, our family's Matriarch is making a move and starting a new chapter. Likewise, this home offers one very lucky family, the opportunity to begin a new chapter at Beach Central.

Be quick. This one may not last until Auction day (which is slated for 12 February 2026 - unless sold prior).
