Private 1ha (more or less) Matakana estate with lake, main residence, two‑bedroom cottage, gym, spa, pavilion and resort‑style amenities a rare lifestyle opportunity near Auckland.
Some properties are admired.
Others are remembered.
And occasionally, one offers something deeper not just a home, but a place where life unfolds with ease and lasting memories take root.
Welcome to Lotus Estate.
Set in complete seclusion in the sought‑after Matakana region, this exceptional lifestyle property combines privacy, scale and resort‑style living, all within easy reach of Auckland. From the moment you arrive, it’s the sense of calm that lingers, not manufactured, but inherent to the land. The estate reveals itself gradually, inviting you to explore, pause and discover more over time.
Positioned around a tranquil lake, the property balances natural beauty with thoughtful design. At its centre sits the main residence, created for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. A separate two‑bedroom cottage with its own entry, along with a dedicated wellness and service building, provides flexibility for guests, extended family or potential income.
Beyond the homes, the estate continues to unfold. Olive orchards, productive gardens and the stillness of the water‑lily pond create a setting that feels both grounded and quietly spectacular. Even touches of personality, including the charming Cluckingham Palace, add warmth rarely found at this level.
Quite simply, it is a very special place.
