Peace, privacy, and picturesque views of Little Barrier and the Matakana hills unite at 'Wisteria Cottage', a Mangawhai lifestyle oasis on 1.17 hectares. Set back from the road in a leafy, private setting, this tranquil retreat offers a life shaped by native birdsong and sweeping coastal-country vistas.
Situated on Garbolino Road, you get the best of both worlds: a secluded sanctuary just 5 minutes from Mangawhai Village and 10 minutes to the surf at Mangawhai Heads.
A charming front deck, softened by wisteria weaving through the balustrade, welcomes you. Perfectly positioned to capture the panoramic island and hill views, it’s the ultimate sun-drenched spot to enjoy morning coffee, relax with a book, and take in the spectacular scenery.
Step inside to a light, airy ground floor where the kitchen, dining, and lounge connect seamlessly. Polished timber floorboards, a heat pump, and a woodburner on wetback ensure year-round comfort. The living space flows effortlessly out to a spacious covered rear deck, providing the perfect balance: quiet mornings taking in the view at the front, and relaxed, covered entertaining out back.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout is ideal for flexible needs, featuring a double bedroom and full bathroom below. Upstairs, beneath sloped ceilings, are two additional bedrooms, including the master suite with its own ensuite and stunning, elevated outlooks over the water and hills.
Your private land is easy-care, boasting rolling lawns, native bush,specimen trees, and fruit trees. Unlike many lifestyle blocks in the area, there are no restrictive building covenants or shared ownership ties here—your land is entirely your own.
Drive up a gated private driveway to a covered carport and a powered garage beneath the house, while two rear garden sheds add even more practical storage.
If you are looking for peace, tranquility, and spectacular views—with village life and the beach within easy reach—this home is for you.
