79 Bishop Lane, Matakana, Rodney, Auckland

Privately positioned on a coveted headland in Tawharanui, this remarkable 1.1 hectare lifestyle property with sculpted grounds offers an unparalleled coastal experience. With panoramic views taking in Sandspit, Kawau Bay, and the Hauraki Gulf, it provides both seclusion and connection to the very best of the region's natural beauty. Set within the prestigious Bishops Hill enclave and accessed via a private gated entrance, this exclusive coastal location is renowned for its tranquility and prestige. Landscaped to perfection, the property enjoys shared access to a concrete jetty and boat ramp, along with 3km of established native bush walks that weave through the peninsula. Designed for effortless entertaining and relaxed coastal living, the residence exudes lodge-style elegance with a contemporary edge. Large-scale living and entertaining areas—each with their own fireplace—are oriented to maximise the spectacular water views that stretch across to the Sandspit Yacht Club and International Marina. The interiors are a masterclass in modern coastal style: neutral white tones, full-height glazing, bespoke architectural joinery, and a thoughtful blend of natural materials including oak flooring, tumbled limestone tiles, and handcrafted timber finishes. Gallery-style walls throughout the home invite curated artworks and personal collections, bringing soul and sophistication to every space. The main residence offers refined functionality, with four generous bedrooms, three living areas, and expansive utility spaces. A covered outdoor loggia with open fireplace further extends the living space, ideal for year-round entertaining.  The exterior is clad in dark-stained cedar, allowing the home to blend harmoniously with its natural surroundings. A separate boatshed with (consented) guest accommodation and gym room adds versatility for visiting friends or extended family, with the combined estate comprising 443sqm (approx.) of single level living and amenity.  The grounds are equally impressive - meticulously landscaped yet low-maintenance, with scope to add a swimming pool for ultimate convenience and luxury. Perfectly located just 8km from Matakana Village and within 50 minutes of Auckland CBD, this property offers the best of all worlds: absolute privacy, extraordinary amenities, and direct access to a lifestyle defined by sailing, swimming, surfing, golf, boutique shopping, wineries, and regional park adventures.
