4 Rue Viard, Akaroa, Banks Peninsula

Sold under the hammer

Pompallier House was originally built in 1907 as a convent for the Sisters of Mercy and eventually converted into elderly retirement living as part of the Pompallier House retirement complex in the late 1970's. The early twentieth century villa, subdivided from the complex offers an exciting and rare opportunity for buyers to re-imagine this impressive Heritage listed building in the heart of Akaroa.

Homes and buildings of this magnitude are so rarely available in Akaroa that buyers will see exceptional potential in group family ownership or as an investment opportunity to service Akaroa's desperate shortage for staff accommodation.

The scale of the dwelling provides limitless configuration options. Ten bedrooms with basins provide vast accommodation potential. A living area that opens to the lush, gently sloping lawn provides a perfect communal space to socialise or relax in all day sun.

A semi-commercial kitchen and dual shower rooms provide the basis for your amenities. Additional office spaces, laundry room and storage areas ensures practical space is at a premium.

Off-street parking is provided to the rear of the property with driveway space for multiple vehicles plus a triple bay covered carport. A current building Warrant of Fitness provides peace of mind that fire protection is accounted for.

The excellent location on an easily accessible and very gently sloping, freehold 1,133sqm site places occupants so close to fantastic restaurants and cafes, the waterfront and recreation ground.

Visionaries and those who are prepared to look outside the square must consider this terrific opportunity.
