Notably located at beautiful Matheson Bay on the Matakana Coast and set against a backdrop of native trees including Rimu, Kauri, and Kahikatea, this picturesque three-bedroom cottage by the sea is bathed in birdsong and the distant sound of waterfalls. Surrounded by landscaped gardens, the charming 1960s family home has been updated, renovated, and cherished by its present owners who have enjoyed it as their weekender for the past 15 years. Set privately back from the road and offering a harmonious balance of nature and nurture, it has been the perfect haven for friends and family to enjoy, unwind and retreat from the city. The floor plan includes three bedrooms (one up, two down), two bathrooms (one unconsented), living and sitting room, large wrap around decks, a lock up garage, multi vehicle parking and an additional workshop/shed. Insulated throughout, with summer and winter comfort paramount, a wood burner fireplace, two air-conditioning units, under carpet heating and retractable awnings take care of all the seasonal needs. Head outside, and marvel at the marquee lawn which has been a venue for croquet, camping, parties, and pets in its perfectly curated setting. Gardeners will appreciate the mature hedging, fruit trees, ornamentals and potager beds whilst those who love the outdoors can delight in the location; adjoining a stunning native bush reserve, a short path at the foot of the property leads to a clear running stream with small cascading waterfalls and the Matheson Bay bush walk and footbridges that meander directly to the beach. Within strolling distance (600 metres) of the bay, Mathesons is highly regarded for its safe deep-water swimming and is a favourite set-off for divers and kayakers alike. Situated 76 kms north of the Auckland Harbour Bridge and 12 kms from Matakana Village markets, shopping and eateries. Contact Kellie now for further information or appointment to inspect.
