There are waterfront properties, and then there are places that offer a genuine connection to the coast. Set high above Matheson Bay, this exceptional holding enjoys a front-row position overlooking the Hauraki Gulf, with sweeping views extending towards Great Barrier Island and a private path leading directly to the beach below.
Life here is wonderfully uncomplicated. The existing four-bedroom bach provides a comfortable base for weekends, holidays and long summer stays, with the living spaces opening onto a broad, sun-filled deck. From morning coffee to evening drinks, the ever-changing outlook provides a spectacular backdrop to everyday coastal living.
The home has been designed for relaxed beach life, with bathrooms on both levels, an internal-access garage and plenty of space for family and friends. But the real story begins outside its walls.
Elevated, private and directly connected to the beach, the site offers an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a substantial piece of Matheson Bay waterfront. For those with a vision to create a new coastal residence, the existing home provides an ideal foundation while the extraordinary setting offers the possibility to build something truly bespoke, subject to council approval.
Highlights include:
• Prime beachfront position above Matheson Bay
• Four-bedroom existing beach house
• Expansive views across the Hauraki Gulf to Great Barrier Island
• Private beach access
• Generous north-facing entertaining deck
• Bathrooms on both levels
• Internal-access garage
• Scope for a future new-build, subject to approvals
Matheson Bay is cherished for its natural beauty, sheltered waters and intimate coastal community, while nearby Leigh provides everyday amenities and Matakana is an easy drive away for dining, shopping and the region's renowned village lifestyle.
Opportunities to secure genuine beachfront land in settings of this calibre are becoming exceptionally rare. Whether enjoyed as it stands or transformed into a future coastal masterpiece, this is a property with the location, outlook and sense of possibility to become something truly enduring.
