Character cottages abound in Matakana. But on over half a hectare of land, just minutes from Matakana village, backed by bush and birdsong, with the Glen Eden River along the back boundary - this one is something special.
619 Matakana Road sits on the Golden Mile between Warkworth and Matakana, on the village side, about 4 km from the popular farmers market, cinema and restaurants. Warkworth and its amenities are 5.5 km the other way and Omaha Beach about 11 km.
Down a gorgeous tree-lined driveway, some 70 metres in from the road, sits the circa-1950's cottage. It has three double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, plus a fourth study / flexible room adding options and space.
The kitchen, dining and living area at the rear is open plan, with a woodburner, a heat pump and an HRV ventilation system. It faces north for the sun and opens onto decks on two sides and the stunning, flat garden lawns, looking out to an amphitheatre of bush.
The land is the main event. The 5,583 sqm (approx.) is offered together over two titles, flat to gently sloping around the house, then falling away in tiers through established trees and iris beds to a bush-lined boundary on the Glen Eden River. There are fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, a woodshed, a swim spa and a detached double garage with storage.
Children who grew up here idled days away on inner tubes, floating down the river. Huts, forts and hide and seek are practically required.
Services are rural: tank water, on-site septic, and power and telecommunications connected. Solar-ready electrics are done; reinforcing the roof for panels is the buyer's option. Mixed Rural zoning. In the zone for Matakana School and Mahurangi College.
Additional features: A modern family bathroom with a large walk-in shower (unconsented) and separate powder room, connected to septic but awaiting connection to water.
