201 Takatu Road, Matakana, Rodney District, Auckland

Across countryside and water, taking in Omaha Bay and Little Barrier Island, this contemporary residence capitalises on the beautiful Matakana landscape and exceptional coastal views. Set on 4 hectares (10 acres) with gardens, orchards and grazing, the home is spacious, gracious, and designed with casual comfort in mind. The main residence (completed in 2018) is influenced by the iconic land and waterfront vista and the verdant countryside panorama. Designed by an award-winning architect, its light filled, classic design has been built to exacting standards and incorporates approximately 302 square metres of floor area (plus decks). Delivering expansive dining and living areas that flow outdoors to covered verandahs for entertaining, it offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms, of which one is a generous separate self-contained studio bedroom with full bathroom, open dining, casual living, and a large second lounge room. Internal access garaging is both private and discreetly oriented away from the front door. The home is supplemented by a separate triple bay barn with mezzanine floor that takes care of the farm vehicles, workshop and storage. In addition, a large rustic art studio and gallery can be accessed off a second driveway, providing further opportunity and future use. The 10 acres of land is currently divided into 4 paddocks and is lightly stocked with sheep. Mature trees, a productive orchard, and mixed gardens require minimal effort and maintenance. Situated approximately 68 kilometres north of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, 201 Takatu Road is located 3.6 kilometres from Matakana Village, markets, shopping, eateries, and galleries, and is a short drive from Omaha Beach and Golf Course. In-zone for Matakana School. Open by private appointment. Contact Kellie directly for property information and further details.
