What's around 278 Matai Road

Something truly special

Distinctive, beautifully crafted and exceptionally versatile, this 1.03 hectare (more or less) lifestyle property is one of those rare offerings that needs to be experienced to fully appreciate. Just 5.4km from Matamata, it combines a character-filled home, quality additional accommodation, outstanding outdoor living and a peaceful rural setting with sensational views towards the town and surrounding farmland. Built with colour steel and an impressive use of native timber throughout, the main residence has a warmth and individuality that sets it apart. Two bedrooms are complemented by a generous mezzanine floor, providing exceptional flexibility for family, guests, working from home, a second lounge or a quiet reading retreat. Two bathrooms and generous storage add to the practical appeal, while the gourmet native-timber kitchen forms a beautiful centrepiece to the home. The living spaces are equally inviting. A modern gas fire creates a cosy atmosphere in the lounge, while the dining area opens effortlessly to a covered alfresco entertaining area, where an open fireplace and expansive rural views create an enviable setting for relaxed gatherings and long summer evenings. A spacious double garage with internal access adds further convenience. Adding considerable versatility is the beautifully presented, modern one-bedroom studio. Perfect for extended family, guests or potential Airbnb accommodation, it enjoys its own attached single garage and additional toilet, providing privacy and independence while adding genuine value to the property. The grounds are equally well considered, with a round, lockable hay barn, four paddocks with water troughs and an on-site bore providing the property's own water supply. It is a lifestyle setting designed to be enjoyed, whether for animals, recreation or simply making the most of the space and surroundings. With its distinctive architecture, rich native-timber detailing, flexible accommodation, exceptional entertaining spaces and enviable proximity to Matamata, this is far from an ordinary lifestyle property. A truly special offering for those looking for something individual, beautifully positioned and wonderfully different.
