Step into a world of timeless elegance at Linton House, a grand heritage estate reborn on the enchanting Matakana Coast. Originally crafted in 1863 and once gracing Remuera’s prestigious Northern Slopes, this storied residence, formerly owned by the Hardie family, was lovingly relocated 20 years ago. Meticulously reimagined, it blends the spellbinding charm of a bygone era with modern luxuries, new plumbing, wiring, and most recently a breathtaking Morgan Cronin kitchen weaving contemporary magic into its historic soul.
From the moment you cross the threshold, the awe-inspiring central staircase casts its spell, guiding you to the upper floor’s three expansive bedrooms, each with its own ensuite. The master suite is a dreamscape, boasting dual his-and-hers wardrobes and ensuites. A sophisticated living room, gym, and private office complete this top floor haven, with a second staircase spiraling back to the heart of the home.
The lower level enchants with a double internal-access garage, a sleek new laundry, and a sprawling gourmet kitchen adorned with high-end appliances including Gaggeaneau. Three additional living rooms offer endless possibilities for relaxation or entertaining. Beyond the main residence, a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with its own entrance beckons - perfect for guests or multigenerational living, with the option to connect seamlessly to the main house.
Set on a magical acre of coastal land, Linton House faces north-western sunsets that paint the sky in hues of fire and gold, best savored from the edge of the heated infinity lap pool. A spa pool and a private pathway to the beach below add to the allure of this extraordinary estate. With plentiful off-street and boat parking, this is a sanctuary where dreams meet reality.
