A Romantic Villa Reborn in Matakana

Deadline sale: Closes on Thursday 27 November 2025 at 4:00PM (unless sold prior)

Once gracing a leafy Parnell street, this beautiful historical villa has found new life in the countryside, relocated and completely transformed with exquisite care and vision. Reimagined by designer Sarah Foote, it now rests gracefully within its tranquil Matakana setting, capturing sunshine, shelter, and sweeping views over lawns, trees, and the surrounding nature.

The single level residence radiates charm and proportion, its soaring stud height, wide hallways, and wraparound verandas framing a home that feels both nostalgic and luxuriously comfortable. Inside, the interiors blend heritage character with every modern convenience, including ducted air conditioning, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and finely detailed craftsmanship throughout.

The layout includes four generous bedrooms, the master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, a separate office, and full laundry. Every element has been reimagined, from the stone topped kitchen with quality appliances to the elegant tiled bathrooms featuring refined lighting and tapware.

A separate self-contained outhouse mirrors the villa’s architecture, offering a guest suite or retreat with its own lounge, bedroom, and bathroom. Beyond, the lawns are perfectly flat and beautifully landscaped, with resource consented plans for a pool and tennis court ready for the next chapter.

Tucked privately along Ridgewater Lane, off Sharp Road, the property enjoys private joint access to the shared Ridgewater gardens — a serene and special landscape featuring lily ponds, a saltwater pond, and a small boat ramp just across the driveway. This unique amenity invites you to enjoy the water, take a peaceful paddle or kayak, and wander among the beautiful gardens, ponds, and trees.

Romantic, peaceful, and effortlessly elegant, this is a villa that marries heritage charm with modern living, a home to be loved, lived in, and enjoyed for generations.
