Old School Inc. Matakana

Bayleys Premium Lifestyle Collection.
Saturated in history and set on 2.75 hectares in desirable Matakana this superb lifestyle offering delivers a new home, plenty of independent income streams and a beautiful riverside setting with four pretty paddocks and a level playing field for the kids. The owners brief for the new four bedroom home was to create a private 'Industrial Luxe' abode that doesn't compromise on style or comfort. Highlights include exposed macrocarpa trusses, bespoke joinery, hand polished concrete fittings and a cool vintage vibe at every turn. Passionate about re purposing materials and bringing new life to timeworn timbers, a contemporary edge has been achieved with full length stacking sliders that draw the eye to the lush landscape, lawns and native bush which bound the picturesque Glen Eden river.
A short walk from the main home is the 110 year old Kauri school house that originally stood in Schollum Road and was latterly part of the Matakana Creamery. Known today as 'Old School Inc.' it has operated here for the last 6 years as a successful vintage retail shop, having featured in NZ House & Garden amongst other publications. Not to be outdone, sitting alongside the shop and painted in Resenes Karen Walker 'Periglacial Blue', is a sweet stand-alone two room cottage fondly known as 'The Clinic'. Formerly used as a therapist and massage suite, it has been the perfect independent stay for paying guests with Airbnb bookings often extending 6 months in advance. Adding to the potential income streams, and sited on the opposite side of the property sits a two bedroom minor dwelling that has provided the owners with additional long term rental and guest accommodation. This truly special property is surrounded by four paddocks, a pond, fenced produce garden, chicken coop and a charming glass fronted 'Reading Room' on the river's edge. Add a set of goal posts for the kids and we think 'Old School Inc.' delivers the ultimate family friendly Matakana lifestyle.
