220 Schollum Road, Matakana, Rodney

Paradise Found - Matakana

A few minutes north of Matakana Village at the top of a quiet no exit country road sits this relaxed barn style home with breathtaking views across Omaha to the Coromandel Peninsula and Great Barrier. With its sea, countryside and native bush surroundings, and only minutes from a swim at Matheson Bay or a fish at Big Omaha wharf, the peaceful setting offers an incredible lifestyle to live or holiday. Completed in 2011, two pavilions form the concept plan for a generous living layout, with all four bedrooms and bathrooms contained within the second wing. Beneath the impressive five metre stud ceiling and framing the views, large sliders pull back on three sides to connect the entertainment wing with the outdoors. The galley style kitchen has bespoke cabinetry and forms the heart of the home, creating a seamless entertainment space for family and friends. The second wing includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the master opening out to the captivating ocean views. The fourth bedroom is designed to adapt as a work from home office or second lounge and has a covered rear portico and independent side access. Concrete floors have been purposefully left exposed as a nod to the raw country environment. New carpet throughout and a crisp white painted interior provide a fresh canvas for the new owner to layer with their own style. Maintenance on this tranquil one-hectare property is limited to cutting the lush green lawns that surround the home. The remainder of the land is in native bush with stunning mature nikau, ponga and manuka. There is room for a pool, herb and garden beds, a small orchard or a hen house, and the double internal access garage has a boat and caravan park alongside. This contemporary coastal country home is a convenient 'escape' from the city and is only a 35 minute commute to Albany. (Matakana Primary Zone).
