73 Oak River Drive, Matakana, Rodney

Grand Matakana Estate

Picture your future. Down the end of a curving tree lined drive, entertaining friends by the outdoor fire, surrounded by flat, park like grounds and drinking fresh-squeezed lemonade fresh from your own trees. With kids, or maybe grandkids, entertaining themselves on the lawn, you could always keep the lemonade for them as you while away the afternoon with your favourite tipple.

At the end of a private road, just minutes from Matakana Village, 73 Oak River Drive can make all of this possible. Designed by architect Tony Davis and built in 2003, this unique four bedroom home holds all the modern comforts, with room to make your own mark. From the grand entrance hall move through to almost any room and enjoy the view over 1.5ha of beautiful gardens surrounded by native trees and birdlife.

Each door of this home opens up onto something new. A spacious, well-appointed kitchen makes life easy, while two separate living areas and a breakfast nook, offer options for entertaining and space to relax when you need it. The four ample bedrooms include a generous master suite with adjoining his and hers en suite and separate toilet. Yet, there is still more to be discovered. The western wing opens up to a studio space waiting for you to find its perfect use. Currently an office and home studio, it could easily be converted into a games room or self-contained flat.

Then there's the workspace. Along with the mandatory double garage, there is another single right behind, perfectly set up for all your tools and toys. A covered boat park adds the finishing touch for when you want to leave the garden to enjoy the beautiful beaches the region has to offer. While you'll want for nothing, there's still endless potential. A minor dwelling or barn could be added to make the most of your estate. Move in and enjoy this beautiful home as it is, or take the time to adjust this glorious house into the true home of your dreams.
