‘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 four-bedroom home, designed by Matz Architects, and extensive landscaping that turned paddocks into a park-like setting.

The west-facing home features stunning river views, incredible birdlife, and breathtaking sunsets from its generous decks. An added benefit is the approved resource consent for subdivision, offering future owners the opportunity to put their own stamp on the property.
