‘The sunsets are breathtaking’: A labour of love is blossoming in Matakana

A Matakana couple has transformed a property into a tranquil riverside retreat. The project involved a complete rebuild of the home, designed by architect Phil Matz, and extensive landscaping that turned three paddocks into a park-like setting with thousands of native plants.

The four-bedroom house features an open-plan design with stunning river views, abundant birdlife, and breathtaking sunsets. An added opportunity for the next owner is the approved resource consent for subdivision, offering future potential.
