37 Ward Road, Matakana, Rodney, Auckland

Some properties are beautiful. Some are practical. Very few are transformational.

Welcome to one of Matakana's most compelling lifestyle estates. 8.18 hectares of rolling pasture, manicured grounds and extraordinary infrastructure, positioned just minutes from the vibrant Matakana village.

This is not simply a lifestyle block. It is a private compound, an income-producing asset, and an entrepreneurial playground all in one.

And, increasingly important in today's world… a place where true self-sufficiency is not just possible, but already in motion.

The Infrastructure - A Rare Commercial-Scale Offering

The undisputed centrepiece is the enormous high-clearance 840m² warehouse. A structure of serious scale rarely seen in residential holdings this close to Matakana. Immaculately presented with expansive concrete flooring and exceptional access, it is ideal for collectors, marine enthusiasts, business operations, storage, fabrication or future commercial ventures (subject to council approval).

Two additional large sheds add further flexibility; one is already secured with a long-term lease, providing immediate income and enhancing the estate's investment credentials.

This is infrastructure that would cost millions to replicate today…and time.

The Residences - Dual Living, Dual Opportunity

Residence One - The Classic Cottage

A beautifully maintained 1950s three-bedroom cottage with its own garaging, full of warmth and charm. Perfect for extended family, staff accommodation, or rental income.

Residence Two - The Modern Cedar Retreat

Privately positioned and completely separate, the second dwelling is a striking two-bedroom cedar-clad home; architecturally refined and fully solar-powered. High-end finishes throughout include an IMO kitchen and Studio Italia wardrobe fit-out. Clean lines, vaulted ceilings, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create a sophisticated yet grounded aesthetic.

This is luxury, off-grid living done properly.

The Wellness Sanctuary

Few lifestyle properties offer something this special.

Meandering boardwalks lead through lush native planting to a purpose-built wellness zone featuring:

• Outdoor cedar Stoked Stainless Hot Tub and forest shower
• A Norwegian Spruce Sauna
• Twin ice baths for those who dare...
• Intimate outdoor fireplace pavilion
• A meandering fern-fringed creek with pristine water from the hills of Tamahunga

A private sanctuary for reflection, recovery, or unforgettable evenings with friends under the stars.

The Land - Productive, Beautiful, and Future-Proofed

8.18 hectares of undulating pasture and landscaped grounds provide:

• Fully fenced grazing for stock and horses
• Established organic vegetable gardens and orchard potential
• Abundant natural water, including an artesian spring supply
• Pond, creek and rich fertile soils
• Auxiliary sheds and service areas
• Extensive glamping or additional accommodation potential

This is land that doesn't just look good - it works.

In an ever-changing global environment, the ability to grow your own food, secure your own water, and operate independently is no longer a novelty… it is a quiet form of security.

Here, you have the scale, resources, and infrastructure to live sustainably, comfortably, and with genuine resilience - without compromising on lifestyle.
