A spectacular rural retreat just minutes from Akaroa Village, 82 Purple Peak Road combines an impressive 16.19ha setting with privacy, space and panoramic Peninsula views -- all within easy reach of Akaroa's restaurants, cafes, waterfront and shopping.

The original home, designed by renowned local architect John Davey and constructed in the mid-1980s, has been thoughtfully transformed over the years. A significant early-2000s extension elevated the property considerably, introducing generous contemporary spaces while retaining the character and integrity of the original dwelling.

Upstairs, the extension created an exceptional main bedroom haven, complete with ensuite, walk-in robe and a private balcony opening to breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside and Peninsula. It is a beautifully private retreat, removed from the main accommodation below.

The extension also introduced a superb additional living area, designed to make the most of the property's remarkable setting. Expansive glazing captures vast rural views from multiple aspects, while effortless access to the in-ground swimming pool, gardens and outdoor entertaining areas creates a wonderful environment for hosting family and friends.

Elsewhere, the home offers excellent flexibility. A spacious second bedroom overlooks the established rear gardens and surrounding hills, while separate stairs lead to a third bedroom and mezzanine area -- ideal as additional living, a home office, teenagers' retreat or guest space.

Excellent double garaging provides secure storage and valuable workshop space, while a major bonus is the generous loft above. Serviced by its own shower and toilet, this additional accommodation creates excellent flexibility for guests, teenagers, a home office or overflow living.

Outside, established landscaping surrounds the home, providing shelter, privacy and a beautifully settled feel. The swimming pool forms a natural centrepiece during the warmer months, while beyond the immediate gardens the 16.19ha holding provides a genuine sense of space and rural tranquility.

The appeal here is broad and compelling -- ideal for downsizing farmers wanting to retain a handsome landholding while offering the opportunity to run stock with its well fenced paddocks, stock loading run and ramp plus sheds, permanent residents craving privacy, space and tranquility, or environmental enthusiasts inspired by the opportunity to regenerate and enhance land or explore tourism opportunities within this remarkable Peninsula paradise.
