Discover an exciting opportunity to own a piece of Matakana paradise, where rustic charm meets modern ease. This is a unique property, nestled amidst picturesque vineyards and orchards, with wonderful views of Omaha Bay, the Barrier Islands, and beyond.
Inside the charming home you are welcomed by an open plan living room that effortlessly combines style and functionality. Bathed in natural light, these spaces are designed for comfort and relaxation, boasting beautiful views across your very own vineyard of some 1000 approx vines. A wood fire in the lounge adds a cosy element, ensuring warmth and charm during the cooler months. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow connects the living area to the shuttered outdoor loggia, a perfect setting for alfresco dining, entertaining friends, or unwinding with a glass of your own wine produced right on the estate.
Built originally by GJ Gardner, the home blends a solid brick base with a light plaster cavity upper level for style and strength. The main house has four well-proportioned bedrooms - three of which open out to an upper deck to greet the morning sunrise and savour the glorious views, plus two bathrooms in the upper floor, one on the ground floor, alongside the laundry, office/gym, and double garage.
The separate, gorgeous lodge above the farm shed at the end of the garden, has high vaulted ceilings and is a delightful bonus, featuring a kitchenette, library, flexible spaces and a loft - it’s perfect for hosting additional guests, or for use as a private office, studio, or retreat.
The unique features of this hobby vineyard estate extend beyond the home itself. Whether you envision hosting gatherings beneath the stars, enjoying tranquil mornings with sweeping views, wandering through the olive grove in a Mediterranean reverie or indulging in the fruits of your own labour from the vineyard and gardens, this property offers unparalleled possibilities. The outdoor space is further complemented by a woodshed and a pony or donkey shed, catering to your passion for animals, while a designated paddock provides ample space for grazing animals. Garden enthusiasts will relish in the raised veggie gardens and citrus orchard, perfect for growing your own fresh produce.
Situated in a prime location, this property is a stone's throw from the charming township of Matakana, with its boutique shops, fine dining, and local markets. Close to stunning landscapes of Omaha and Tawharanui Regional Park, an abundance of biking trails and outdoor adventures to explore.
