34 Aroha Road, Te Arai, Rodney

Secluded, stylish, yours

Positioned within the private and peaceful Te Arai Farm Estate, just under 100 kilometres from Auckland's CBD, this architecturally designed retreat by Matz Architects offers a unique blend of rural seclusion and coastal proximity. Elevated to capture sweeping north-easterly views, the property overlooks rolling pasture, native bush and out to the ocean and surrounding islands.

Designed as a contemporary barn-style residence, the layout is arranged across three distinct pavilions, providing versatile living options for family and guests. Each bedroom features its own ensuite. A separate petite pavilion adjacent to the garage includes a kitchenette, ideal for visitor accommodation or additional flexibility.

The entertainer's kitchen is both functional and refined, featuring a black stone benchtop, scullery, dual ovens, two dishwashers, a wine fridge, a condiment fridge plus generous refrigeration space. Premium joinery and considered detailing are evident throughout, with external shutters on two of the pavilions enhancing both airflow and architectural form.

The pool area is thoughtfully positioned for privacy and afternoon sun, complemented by an outdoor louvretec pergola with rain sensors and blinds, and a wood burner that doubles as a pizza oven, ideal for year-round enjoyment. Generous outdoor areas, including concrete terraces and timber decking, provide ample space for entertaining.

The garage, lined with ply, offers potential as a multipurpose room and includes a pull-down bed and full overhead storage. Surrounding grounds are designed for low maintenance, with native plantings, ornamental grasses, a productive small orchard and vegetable garden, all benefiting from all-day sun.

A separate stable or utility outbuilding provides secure storage for equipment or could accommodate horses. The paddocks are currently grazed intermittently by Te Arai Estate.

Located approximately 10 minutes from Mangawhai Village and Heads beaches, and just 15 minutes to Te Arai Links Golf Course, this is a rare opportunity to secure a well-considered lifestyle property in a coveted and tightly held enclave.
