Where history and architecture combine French Farm 262 Wainui Main Road This wonderful small lifestyle property is set on an elevated site with panoramic views out from French Farm, overlooking Akaroa Harbour and historic Onawe Peninsula. Originally the schoolhouse for the bustling French Farm settlement, this now blends seamlessly with the modern, architecturally-designed home, which has been extremely well-thought-out and fits perfectly within the environmental surrounds. The sun-drenched three-bedroom, two-bathroom home features a wonderful open- plan kitchen/living area opening to outdoor living, perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning vistas whilst providing a sunny, sheltered area where you can enjoy those long summer evenings. The old school, which has become the lounge for the home, has been used for social functions as it can seat up to 50 people, which could provide business opportunities for functions, weddings or possibly a small conference centre. The presentation of the large 4,097sqm section is second to none. Planting of native and exotic trees offer shelter and privacy from all directions, allowing an incredible array of fruit trees and vegetables to be grown. The well-designed, terraced gardens and sweeping lawns provide a truly relaxing and enjoyable place in which to live. 3 2 2 2 For Sale offers invited over NZ$1,200,000 Ben Turner 027 530 1400 [email protected] WHALAN AND PARTNERS LTD, BAYLEYS, LICENSED UNDER THE REA ACT 2008 Evan Marshall 027 221 0910 [email protected] WHALAN AND PARTNERS LTD, BAYLEYS, LICENSED UNDER THE REA ACT 2008 bayleys.co.nz/559578 French Farm is arguably one of the most picturesque areas in Akaroa Harbour, featuring the French Farm Winery and boasting a very active Aquatic Club which has regular social occasions.
