19 Schollum Road, Matakana, Rodney

Old school cool - Matakana

Between Matakana and Matheson Bay sits this early 1900's weatherboard bungalow on a 2,437 sqm freehold section.
In its countryside setting, the three-bedroom bungalow has survived largely in its original form and is a heartfelt nod to a popular style of housing so dominant in the New Zealand landscape through the 1920's.
This is a true family sized home with 'add value' opportunity. Wooden floorboards, bay windows, and panelled ceilings are still intact presenting a grand chance to capitalise on its excellent proportions, handy floor plan and terrific bones. Sited alongside the bungalow is 'The Teachers Cottage'. A gorgeous space with pitched ceiling, polished floors, small bathroom and its own front door and deck. Previously living quarters for teachers at the local school in Whangateau, it oozes history and charm and is a great space for guests, games, studio, or creatives. Sections of this size with no covenants are a rare offering and this graciously large site offers amazing potential and room to improve with a further building, barn or garaging. The bungalow has a separate drive entrance with its own parking. A second driveway gives easy access to the other half of the property and its level to gently sloping lawn dotted with fruit trees; largely clear and awaiting inspiration. Nearby, stroll through the weekend markets, get lost in the boutique shops, galleries, and vineyards, or take a deep dive and swim from the sandy shores of the many local beaches. Walking and cycling trails are on your doorstep and fishing, surfing and sailing are popular daily rituals. This property will delight and inspire. Roll your sleeves up and invest in your future in Matakana. Call now for a viewing and kick off 2024 with fresh plans in this scenic coastal paradise. (In zone for Matakana Primary School with a bus-stop a couple of hundred metres from the gate). For more things to do in Matakana visit: https://www.matakanacoast.co.nz/listings/attractions-activities
