Private 1ha (more or less) Matakana estate with lake, main residence, two bedroom cottage, gym, spa, pavilion and resort-style amenities, a rare lifestyle opportunity near Auckland.
Some properties are admired.
Others are remembered.
Rarely, one presents itself that offers something deeper, not just a home, but a place where life unfolds with ease and lasting memories are made.
Welcome to Lotus Estate.
Nestled in complete seclusion in the sought-after Matakana region, this exceptional lifestyle estate offers a rare combination of privacy, scale and resort-style living, all within easy reach of Auckland.
From the moment you arrive, it’s the sense of calm that stays with you. Not something created, but something inherent to the land itself. The property reveals itself gradually, inviting you to explore, to pause, and to discover more over time.
Privately positioned around a tranquil lake, the estate offers a unique balance of natural beauty, architectural design and considered living.
At its heart sits the main residence, designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Complementing this is a separate two bedroom cottage with its own entry, along with a dedicated wellness and service building, creating flexibility for guests, extended family, or potential income.
Wander a little further, and the estate continues to unfold. Olive orchards, productive gardens and the stillness of the water lily pond create a setting that feels both grounded and quietly spectacular. Even moments of personality, such as Cluckingham Palace, add warmth and individuality rarely found at this level.
Quite simply, it is a very special place.
