Design meets character

Do you find yourself yearning for some space around you? Having a safe haven to retreat to? This character lifestyle property offers an ideal balance of seclusion, for those who seek it, with the convenience of having amenities close by.

Set on 7.4 hectares of land is a gorgeous three bedroom, two bathroom villa which has been meticulously restored. The end result is a contemporary take on a character home, where its originality is beautifully preserved, yet enhanced with quality modern fixtures and fittings. The home has been stripped down to its external shell and re-built from the inside - all designed and project managed by an internationally acclaimed architect. The open plan kitchen, dining and living areas seamlessly flow to the timber decked outdoor area with fire pit, where Te Mata Peak provides a spectacular backdrop. The open plan area also includes a home office. The bedrooms are all spacious double rooms, the master having an ensuite bathroom and a stunning outlook to the Peak. The surrounds are secure, sheltered and completely private - you can even watch the sun setting from the outdoor bath on your deck - and the gardens feature grassed walkways amongst established native plantings which attract abundant birdlife. There is a covered private entry from the carport which provides year-round shelter from the elements.

There is consent to build a secondary architectural dwelling of up to 140sqm just above a terraced 'amphitheatre' overlooking the native landscaped pond. Services for the dwelling are in place. The balance of the land (approximately five hectares) is fully fenced and is currently used for grazing. You will be very pleasantly surprised at what lies behind the gate at 72 Matangi Road!
