Stepping back in time

A grand country estate steeped in timeless character located at 237 Taihoa South Road, Matamata.

From the moment you arrive the majestic tree lined drive sets the tone - this is no ordinary property. Originally crafted in 1928 and relocated from Rotorua in 2001, this wonderful homestead has been thoughtfully restored to honour its era while offering modern day living.

Step inside the grand foyer and be instantly enchanted by the sweeping staircase and the home's enduring period charm. Soaring board and batten ceilings, polished native timber floors, tongue and groove walls, original fireplaces and unique leadlight windows all come together in a rich display of craftsmanship. Two inviting living areas offer comfort and style, while the bold country style kitchen complete with bay window seating, walk-in pantry and abundant cabinetry anchors the home as its warm, beating heart.

Downstairs, open plan living and dining spaces flow effortlessly for family living or entertaining, complemented by a guest bedroom, separate laundry, mud room and powder room. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four more bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office or nursery and the spacious primary suite. Here, a dual access bathroom, excellent wardrobing and a private balcony take in breathtaking views of the lush countryside and Kaimai Range.

Outdoors, the magic continues. Set on 8.01 hectares (more or less) with a serene rural backdrop and Mangawhero Stream boundary - the perfect spot for the kids to go eeling. The grounds include a disused cowshed, yards, loading ramp, two implement sheds and a bore water supply. A well established orchard, raised vegetable beds and 6,000 native trees add lifestyle and sustainability along with the ability to run your own livestock, while the expansive lawns and gazebo offer multiple outdoor entertaining options year round.

A large double garage (with mezzanine and tool room) and garden shed added in 2013 blends seamlessly into the character surroundings.

This is a home that tells a story - a sanctuary of peace, privacy and timeless beauty, just minutes from Matamata.

Whatever thought this property stirs within you, make a time for a private viewing or simply get in touch for further information to make the most of this golden opportunity.
