18 Torea Road, Matakana, Rodney, Auckland

In one of Matakana’s most desirable cul-de-sacs, this is the kind of property buyers wait for - beautifully designed, impeccably presented and just moments from the village, yet private enough to feel like a retreat. With the vendors now committed to their next chapter, the opportunity here is very real.

Set among a tightly held enclave of quality homes, this cedar-clad residence delivers an effortless blend of architectural style and everyday ease. From the moment you arrive, there is a sense of calm and considered design, with soaring gabled ceilings, warm timber accents and engineered oak flooring creating an interior that feels both refined and welcoming. Generous open-plan living extends out to expansive sun-drenched decking, making entertaining second nature and offering a seamless connection to the landscaped grounds beyond.

At the centre of it all is a kitchen designed for both gathering and day-to-day functionality. Caesarstone benchtops, integrated refrigeration high end appliances and a dedicated wet bar drinks station with integrated chiller drawer and sink ensure it is as well suited to weekend hosting as it is to quiet evenings at home.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully configured for comfort and flexibility. The master suite is a true retreat, opening to the garden and complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and beautifully appointed ensuite with underfloor heating. Two further bedrooms also enjoy outdoor access, while a separate office, family bathroom, powder room and generous laundry ensure the home adapts easily to family life, guests or working from home.

Outside, the grounds have been designed to be enjoyed rather than maintained. Fully fenced and private, they offer a series of spaces to relax and recharge, from the spa and putting green to raised vegetable gardens and sheltered entertaining areas. Practicality is equally well covered with a double garage, workshop alcove, attic storage, bespoke garden shed and secure gated parking for a boat or caravan.

What makes this offering all the more compelling is its location. Matakana Village is an easy five-minute walk away, placing cafés,hotel, wine bar, cinemas, boutique shopping, fitness studios and the renowned Saturday markets within easy reach. Beyond that, the wider coast awaits - from vineyards and galleries to Omaha Beach and world-class golf at Te Arai Links. With Auckland CBD approximately an hour away, this is a home that balances escape with convenience in all the right ways.

Homes in this pocket are tightly held for good reason, and opportunities of this calibre are not easily repeated. With clear vendor motivation and a lifestyle address that continues to grow in demand, buyers looking to secure their place in Matakana should move quickly.
