Few properties offer a true sense of exclusivity - fewer still combine land, water, and legal privilege in such remarkable harmony. Tucked away at the peaceful end of Upper Whangateau Road, this extraordinary ten-acre estate sits directly above the tidal reach of the Omaha River, commanding sweeping views across Ti Point, Point Wells, Omaha Beach, and the ever-changing coastal horizon. With full consent already secured for both a private jetty and boat ramp, this is a level of access and opportunity almost never seen in the Matakana region.
The cedar-clad home has been thoughtfully renovated to sit quietly and confidently within its surroundings. Bathed in natural light and framed by expansive decks, the approximately 320 m² residence feels grounded, warm, and effortlessly connected to the outdoors. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, generous living spaces, and a dedicated media room create an inviting and functional home, while covered outdoor dining areas extend everyday living into the landscape. A self-contained one-bedroom annex offers versatility for guests, extended family, or the option to integrate and expand for future needs.
Here, the land is as compelling as the home itself. Native bush wraps the property in privacy, interwoven with walking tracks, productive orchard plantings, and open lawns that lead gently to the river’s edge. Launch a paddleboard from your own front lawn, follow the tide as it drifts toward the sea, or simply pause as the evening light washes the valley in gold - a daily ritual that never repeats and never loses its magic.
Despite its seclusion, the location remains wonderfully connected. Matakana Village is just six minutes away, with Omaha Beach and Matheson’s Bay close by, while Auckland’s CBD sits within an easy 50-minute drive. With bore consent, a natural spring, no restrictive covenants, and ample space to add a pool and tennis court, the property offers not only immediate enjoyment but exceptional future potential.
Only a handful of homes along the Omaha River hold riparian rights, and fewer still have approval for new access structures. This is one of those rare holdings - a coastal estate defined by freedom, scale, and permanence.
