68-70 Matakatia Parade, Matakatia, Rodney

Architectural sanctuary above the sea

MOTIVATED OWNERS HAVE REQUESTED ALL OFFERS TO BE PRESENTED.

Private and truly unique, this tranquil slice of New Zealand paradise is made up of two enormous landholdings - 3420sqm (approx.) and 3427sqm (approx.) respectively - above Matakatia Bay.

It is home to an inspired architectural residence that must be experienced to be believed - designed by acclaimed architect Lillian Chrystall to embrace and pay homage to the magnificent landscape.

Crafted from cedar with copper spouting, the impressive home faces out towards the water and showcases the native bush and ocean vistas via a profusion of glass throughout. A comforting palette of rich timbers inside creates a truly bespoke living environment, with soaring ceilings enhancing the sense of space.

The open-plan living, dining and modern kitchen is the heart of the home, with the cosy lounge on one side enjoying a window seat and wood burner. One wing houses a guest bedroom, bathroom, and office, while the opposite wing flows to a bespoke library and master suite with walk-through wardrobe, ensuite, and deck access.

Expansive and partially covered private decks and the built-in spa are a dream for large scale entertaining, while the guest chalet (with ensuite) and studio are linked to the main house via well-lit boardwalks meandering through the bush.

This special property has been cherished in the same family since the 1950s, with four generations creating memories of time spent swimming, picnicking and waterskiing in the bay.

There is garaging beneath the house and off-street parking and landscaped gardens out front. A track leads down to the beach from the home and the large boat shed offers storage for all the toys.

Start your lifetime of memories here this summer.

PLEASE PHONE FOR ARRANGED VIEWING TIME.
