With views that mock National Geographic, as well as design that effortlessly intertwines the build within the natural landscape, this getaway is perfectly nestled in a verdant enclave. Set across more than two hectares of elevated waterfront on the Matakana Coast in New Zealand, this private residence lies just over one hour north of Auckland and its international airport, offering a rare combination of seclusion and accessibility for global buyers. Represented by Barfoot & Thompson and positioned within Ti Point, the property commands uninterrupted ocean views across the Little Barrier Island and Coromandel Peninsula.

This is relaxed, leisured living at is finest, with scale that allows for both private and large-scale hosting. Whether as a primary residence, second home or seasonal base in New Zealand, the space is set to support an evolving lifestyle. From bedrooms designed to capture the surrounding beauty to the utmost degree, filling the space with light, to a separate bunk room and detached studio, there is more to the property than meets the eye. Markedly versatile and ideal for mixed use purposes, extended family, teenagers or an exquisite home office, there is no better location to hang your hat.

With a private cable car providing direct access to the waterfront, a unique connection to the coastline is crafted. Notably, a substantial portion of the landholding is protected native bush, ensuring long-term privacy and minimal maintenance, preserving an environment that is nothing short of a showstopper. With global demand from international buyers looking for a New Zealand base to add to the mix, properties such as this offer endless security and privacy whilst nurturing an elevated lifestyle.

From tactile elements within the home-space, accented by the soft touch of flora, to chic upholstery, the curation of each and every room has been intentionally programmed with one encompassing thought in mind: whole-hearted relaxation. When the outlook from the warm toned interior is not enough, there is outdoor space beckoning one to take a plunge in the pool, have a walk in the garden and delight in outdoor dining.

An undoubtedly rare opportunity to secure a significant waterfront landholding, within close proximity to vineyards, golf courses, beaches and Auckland’s international connections, 25 Ti Point Road, Matakana, is a hidden gem.
