Rare, protected, and naturally breathtaking, this coastal sanctuary offers more than a home, it’s a way of life. Dazzling ocean views that take in Kawau and other nearby islands, this setting is a one of a kind.

Set along a peaceful country lane and in amongst old and established Totara trees, the home has been designed for those who value space, nature, and freedom.

If you choose, it could be all about keeping a few cows or horses, or just simply enjoying the ocean air, the open paddocks, the small orchard and olive grove.
Inside, light-filled interiors blend relaxed elegance with warmth and character, oak floors, soaring ceilings, and fireplaces create a home that’s stylish yet deeply liveable. The open-plan kitchen and living area are the true heart of the home, offering exceptional indoor/outdoor flow to the two generous covered verandas.Perfect for long lunches that roll into evening gatherings, all framed by sweeping views out to sea in the front and the majestic trees and forest on the side. The master suite itself is a private haven with its own study, walk-in wardrobe, and spa-like ensuite. The additional bedrooms and bathrooms are positioned to provide privacy in beautiful surrounds.
Beyond the home, the lifestyle possibilities are endless. A self-contained cabin and large multi-purpose barn make it easy to work from home, host guests, or simply indulge your hobbies. With plenty of space and extra accommodation dotted across the property, there’s room for friends and family to stay, unwind, and share in the experience. The contoured land invites you to live the good life, grow vegetables, tend gardens, or just enjoy the expanse of the land with a walk out across the paddocks as the sun sets over the hills. For horse lovers, existing stables and a lunge arena provide instant appeal, yet the property is equally ideal for anyone just seeking space, peace, privacy and the rhythm of country life.
Here, you can trade traffic for open skies, swap noise for birdsong, and find balance without leaving convenience behind. With Matakana Village, boutique wineries, and golden beaches only minutes away, it’s the perfect blend of rural freedom and refined living.
