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

A Matakana couple has completed a "labour of love," transforming a property into a tranquil riverside retreat. The project involved a complete rebuild of the home, designed by architect Phil Matz of Matz Architects, and extensive landscaping of former paddocks.

The four-bedroom home now overlooks the Glen Eden River, offering breathtaking sunsets and abundant native birdlife. Key features include a high-spec kitchen and generous outdoor entertaining spaces. Resource consent for subdivision is approved, offering future potential.
