Luxury lock and leave - yours for Christmas

Built in 2021 and discreetly positioned off the peaceful Rue Renard cul-de-sac, this near-new contemporary residence represents a rare opportunity to secure a refined, design-led home in one of Akaroa's most desirable pockets -- without the cost or delay of building new.

From the moment you arrive, the home evokes a private high-end Banks Peninsula retreat, finished with enduring sophistication and crafted for effortless modern living. Bathed in all-day sun, the open-plan living and dining domain connects seamlessly through expansive stacking sliders to a stunning hardwood deck -- the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying Akaroa's harbour lifestyle year-round.

The kitchen is both vibrant and functional, featuring premium finishes and the rare luxury of a walk-in pantry, ensuring effortless hosting and immaculate spaces.

Accommodation is superb, with three generous double bedrooms complemented by two fully tiled bathrooms and a third separate WC. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering a luxurious ensuite spanning the length of the room and a separate walk-in robe.

Year-round comfort is assured with double glazing, multiple heat pumps, a striking woodfire, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Cedar and plaster cladding, full landscaping, and an exceptionally low-maintenance setting make this an ideal lock-and-leave retreat for holiday makers, downsizers, or premium rental investors.

With single-level living -- absolute gold in Akaroa -- plus double garaging and abundant off-street parking, 3 Rue Renard is an exceptional modern offering for discerning buyers seeking quality, privacy, and effortless proximity to the village.

What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $930 × 52 weeks = $48,360, against the council valuation of $1,490,000. 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$928100%

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.

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.
