Features

- This exceptional property is just under 4 acres and feels like an estate. Only 5 minutes from the ferry and less than 30 minutes walk to Oneroa village and shops, yet you will feel a million miles away from it everything..

- Part of the 350-acre exclusive Matiatia Estates, which boasts a spectacular coastal walkway, this estate is ideal for those enamoured of the outdoors that New Zealand is most proud of.

- With the atmosphere of a private resort, you cannot hear a car or see another dwelling.

- Ted Smythe designed the spectacular gardens, which won the NZ Institute Landscape Architects Top Award for New Zealand in 2010. The garden connects seamlessly with the ocean constantly flowering with different species at different times and is in full colour in the middle of winter.

- The original guesthouse was created by the renowned international architect, Simon Carnachan and subsequently the talented designers Stewart Harris and Graham Bull completed the main residence, resulting in an extraordinary combination of soft modernist architecture.

- The home is designed for entertaining and has housed a full, sit down, wedding dinner and numerous large gatherings.

- The property comes into its own at night with lights through all the grasses and sculptures. A powerful spotlight illuminates the whole bay giving a surreal atmosphere as it catches the waves on the rocks.

- The main house and guest house are approximately 450m2, excluding the courtyard and terraces.

- Solidly built in precast concrete, boasting wonderful thermal mass properties, the home is warm and sunny in winter but cool in summer.

- The deck areas to the north and courtyard to the other side, provide shelter in most weather and winds. The courtyard is really an outside room and doubles the size of the house while the roof garden on the guesthouse is another incredible place to just be.
