1271 Rakauroa Road, Matawai, Gisborne

Discover your rural retreat

Set amongst the rolling hills of the East Coast, 1271 Rakauroa Road offers the perfect balance of privacy, space, and self-sufficient living. With nearly 20 hectares of farmland, this property provides a genuine rural retreat without sacrificing comfort or practicality.
The large four-bedroom family home is warm and inviting, featuring two generous living areas, a spacious farm-style kitchen, and an office—perfect for working from home. The home's wooden detailing and large windows frame beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, while the covered porch and mud-room make rural living easy and functional.
Outside, you'll find ample shedding, including a large woolshed with covered yards, double garage, and storage for machinery or tools. An old three-bedroom cottage, ready for a complete renovation, presents exciting potential—think guest accommodation, homestay, or additional income.
The land features lush pastures, mature trees, and established grounds, ideal for grazing stock, homekill, or simply enjoying the wide-open landscape. With hunting nearby and Matawai township just 20 kilometres away, it's the kind of lifestyle that rewards independence and connection to the land.
Located only 12 kilometres from State Highway 2, you'll have easy access north to Ōpōtiki or south to Gisborne—around an hour's drive away.
After two decades of enjoying this property, the vendors are ready to move on, offering a rare opportunity to secure a true East Coast lifestyle property.
