Matheson Bay hideaway

This beautifully updated 1960s cottage blends timeless character with contemporary style, nestled in the heart of Matheson Bay and embraced by native bush. Just a short stroll to the calm, family-friendly waters of Matheson Bay, and within walking distance of scenic bush tracks leading to the iconic Daniel's Reef surf break, this coastal retreat is a rare gem in one of the region's most cherished enclaves.

Inside, the home is warm and inviting, featuring two bedrooms plus a flexible third space currently used as an additional bedroom. Original timber floors bring character and charm, while thoughtful upgrades including a woodburner with wetback, timber shutters, a newly renovated open-plan kitchen, and a modernised bathroom, create a move-in ready haven designed for easy living and effortless entertaining.

Step outside and you're immersed in serenity. The generous land area is wrapped in lush native bush and established gardens. The board-and-batten exterior sits privately behind electric gates, with dog or child safe fencing for peace of mind. A secluded spa deck is nestled in the greenery and connects to a separate garden studio, perfect for creative pursuits or quiet reflection.

The spacious entertainer's deck invites indoor-outdoor flow, with an outdoor cold shower and freestanding bath-a dreamy spot to unwind after a day at the beach.

A modern garage is accompanied by an adjoining studio with ensuite (non-consented), offering further flexibility for guests or work-from-home setups.

Whether it's coffee on the deck with birdsong overhead or salty skin and sandy feet after a morning in the surf, this home captures the essence of coastal living.

Located in the peaceful Matheson Bay community, you're a short stroll from the beach and just minutes to picturesque Leigh Wharf, the all-tide boat ramp, Goat Island Marine Reserve, and Pakiri Beach. With local cafés, a general store, primary school, and a welcoming mix of permanent residents and holidaymakers, Matheson Bay offers a genuine sense of community and the ultimate laid-back lifestyle.

Just over an hour from Auckland and close to Matakana Village and Omaha, this is your chance to secure a private, stylish property in one of the Matakana Coast's most sought-after locations, whether as a permanent sanctuary, holiday home, or smart coastal investment.

A rare blend of charm, privacy and nature — ready to be enjoyed for generations to come.
