About this listing
When the astute parishioners of St Peter's Akaroa decided just after the turn of last century to engage one of Christchurch's top architects, Cecil Woods, to design a Vicarage on possibly the best site in Akaroa, they certainly made a great decision. Finished in 1916, the home exemplifies many of the best features of the Arts and Crafts Movement so prevalent at that time. Occupied by a succession of Vicars, their families have enjoyed the magnificent 1547 square metres of gently sloping land literally (and one suspects at times, actually), within a stone's throw of the beach. The building, while spacious and gracious, would benefit from remodelling and refurbishment and when considering the future needs of the church community, it was wisely decided that a modern Vicar's calling would be best served meeting the demands of this far flung parish, rather than tending to such a large section and house.
The Vicarage sits towards the rear third of the section, providing a vista that few other sites could replicate. 5 Julius Place is bordered by many modern, quality properties which serve to enhance its dignified past. Its central location, above Beach Road, makes for an easy walk to shops or cafes. Above the thrum of traffic and the wanderings of tourists, the Vicarage offers such an amazing opportunity for the visionary who appreciates the multiplicity of long-term benefits and enduring pleasure which the home will undoubtedly provide.
A home of untapped pedigree which will provide the new owner an exceptional "once in over a century" opportunity. The judgement you have to make is to ensure such a chance does not slip away from you. A commitment by the parish to sell means that there will be a new owner at 5 Julius Place - if you think that could be you, talk to me today to arrange an exclusive viewing.
