475 Matakawau Road, Awhitu, Franklin, Auckland

Set above Matakawau Beach with sweeping views to Otamanewa Island, this much-loved holiday home offers an easy, relaxed way of life — whether you're escaping for the weekend or staying for longer. Positioned on a classic Kiwi quarter-acre (1,012m²), the property has been well maintained and is ready to enjoy now, with real potential to add value over time.

Inside, the home is tidy and welcoming. There are three bedrooms, a modernised kitchen with new cabinetry, and a refreshed bathroom finished to a high standard. The living area opens out to the front deck where you can take in the water views and unwind in the sun. A Kent fire keeps things warm through the cooler months, making this a year-round retreat.

At the rear of the property, the updated sleepout has its own deck and outlook over the spacious garden — ideal for friends or family who’ve decided to stay another night. There’s a separate storage room for all the gear: fishing rods, beach toys, kayaks, and anything else that comes with coastal living.

A short walk down the garden path brings you to the local park and then the beach itself, with the all-tide boat ramp just moments away. Whether it’s swimming, fishing, or launching the boat, this location makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors.

The local Matakawau store, petrol station, Awhitu Regional Park and golf course are all nearby, and you’re only 90 minutes from Auckland CBD. The community is friendly, the pace is slower, and the sense of space is something you just don’t get in town.

Homes of this size and setting on full sections are increasingly hard to come by, particularly when they’re this well kept. With the market offering a rare chance to buy at a realistic level, now’s the time to act — whether for your own use, family investment, or a long-term landbank.
