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

A Matakana property has been transformed into a tranquil riverside retreat following a complete rebuild and extensive landscaping project. The owners worked with architect Phil Matz to create a four-bedroom home overlooking the Glen Eden River.

Key features include an open-plan design, west-facing decks for breathtaking sunsets, and abundant native birdlife. The once-overgrown land is now a park-like setting with thousands of new plants. Resource consent for subdivision is approved, offering future potential for the next owners.
