Sitting on the edge of Matamata’s township is Highgrove, home to 34 beautifully manicured countryside sites set on 16 hectares of park-like grounds.
Matamata is a sought-after location within a triangle pointed by Hamilton, Cambridge, and Tauranga. A comfortable two-hour drive to Auckland, it’s an easy drive south to the central lakes and skiing and north to the wilderness of Coromandel.

Matamata, internationally known as home of “Hobbiton”, is well recognised in the equine community. The town and local countryside have charm and a village appeal with a friendly rural farming atmosphere.
Originally farmland that was dotted with old English trees, Highgrove has been years in the planning and execution of what is now one of NZ’s finest Countryside Living developments.
On entering this development with its black post and rail fencing and hand-picked Raglan basalt stonework entrance, the attention to detail and the quality of work is obvious.
The developers’ years of experience and knowledge in high-end subdivisions and horticulture has resulted in trees sourced throughout the North Island being nurtured in the on-site nursery and tended for years as the development progressed. It’s an impressive mix of deciduous, evergreen and natives. Oaks, liquidambars, linden limes, London planes, maples, flowering cherries, copper beeches, horse chestnuts, tupelos, and magnolias are just a few of the species planted.
More than 1000 trees have been transported to the subdivision with some established trees now over seven metres in height. Additionally, thousands of hedging and groundcover plants are rapidly maturing and frame the property.
Birdsong flourishes here and when spring arrives, there is a mass of blossom, come autumn the park-like grounds is ablaze with colour.
As a park, Highgrove is in its infancy. As a future arboretum, Highgrove will become a sanctuary and a spectacular one at that.
Sites range from 2970sqm to 5912sqm, and each one is connected to services of power, fibre optics and a private reticulated water scheme.
Highgrove is only a short walk to schools and a 5-minute drive to the centre of town. Views of the Kaimai Range are simply stunning, and it feels like Waikato’s rural beauty is waiting to welcome you.
Highgrove celebrates the belief that building the best lifestyle begins with a setting that inspires a dream. Here at Highgrove, you can get to live with the convenience of town at your doorstep and with the joys of countryside living.
To protect the interests of each owner there are protective covenants registered on each title. The covenants include rules relating to fencing, building standards and property maintenance to protect each owner’s investment in their property.
So, if you are wanting a special place to build that dream home make sure you check out Highgrove www.highgrove-matamata.co.nz and contact Christine Montagna for the many options available to you.
