REST | NEST | INVEST - Your Akaroa Opportunity

Rest and restore. Nest and settle. Invest and make it work for you.

After more than 50 years as a much-loved family home, 12 William Street is ready for its next chapter.

This charming 1930s bungalow offers a genuine slice of old-school Akaroa character, with timber panelling through the hallway and lounge, a beautiful bay window and a welcoming verandah overlooking the established garden. With three bedrooms, an updated kitchen and bathroom, separate toilet and a cosy log burner, the home is comfortable as it stands, while offering plenty of scope to add your own touches and value over time.

Step outside and enjoy the established trees, lawn and birdsong from the verandah - a peaceful setting for weekends, holidays or simply slowing down and enjoying Akaroa life. A carport and two useful outbuildings provide additional storage, workspace or potential for an artist's studio.

The weatherboard exterior and timber-framed windows retain their vintage appeal and have been maintained, while the home offers an opportunity to refresh and enhance its solid foundations.

Previously enjoyed as both a holiday home and Airbnb, the property is being offered fully furnished with an extensive range of chattels, making it an easy option for those wanting to start enjoying Akaroa from day one.

What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $660 × 52 weeks = $34,320, against the council valuation of $755,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

How we worked this out
EvidencePoints toCounted
From its value what rentals in the area typically yield$661100%

We read this property as a house. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

These are computer-generated guides only, not a rental appraisal.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
