12 Matakatia Parade, Matakatia Bay, Rodney, Auckland

At the quiet end of Matakatia Beach, this is one of those properties that simply stops you in your tracks. The sand is right there. The sea is uninterrupted. The lifestyle feels like something straight out of a rom-com movie.

Set on a generous 912sqm freehold site, this classic Lockwood delivers that true Kiwi seaside feel, warm timber interiors, white-washed tones and day-dream windows perfectly placed to capture the ever-changing blues of the bay.

Inside, the layout is simple and honest. Three bedrooms, one bathroom and open-plan living that naturally draws your eye straight to the water. The deck is where life happens, Cape Cod chairs, long lunches, evening drinks and the kind of conversations that only happen when the tide rolls in and out in front of you.

There is scope here too. A concrete pad is already in place if you want to add garaging, and the site offers future potential to explore extensions or further development. Land of this size, in a position like this, is becoming increasingly hard to find.

Bring the paddleboards, fishing rods and kayaks. Morning swims become part of your routine. Evenings are all about salt air and sunsets. The community vibe around Matakatia is special, and you are only five minutes from the cafés and convenience of Manly Village.

Commuting is easier than you would think, approximately 45km to Auckland City, or jump on the 40-minute ferry from Gulf Harbour Marina straight into the CBD.

Retire here in style. Or secure it as your weekend escape, not far from the city.

Absolute beachfront at Matakatia is rare and always tightly held.
