luxury house for sale Matakana, New Zealand

Lotus Estate is a rare private lakefront estate set on approximately 1 hectare (2.47 acres) of Matakana land, just under an hour from Auckland. A property of this completeness and scale is seldom offered to the market.This is not simply a home. It is a fully realised lifestyle estate comprising three distinct buildings - the main residence, a separate two-bedroom income cottage, and a dedicated wellness and commercial building - all surrounded by established olive orchards, productive gardens, water gardens, native planting, and a tranquil private lake. Every element has been considered. Every detail speaks to a life lived with intention and grace. The main residence is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and the water always in sight. The fully self-contained two-bedroom cottage, with its own private entry, offers flexibility for extended family, long-term guests or a reliable income stream. The dedicated wellness and commercial building opens further possibilities, with potential for boutique retreat hosting or commercial use, subject to council approval. Set within grounds that reveal themselves slowly, Lotus Estate rewards those who take the time to understand what it represents. A lakefront lifestyle property of this calibre, combining natural beauty, income potential and resort-style design, is extraordinarily rare in the Auckland region. For international buyers, Lotus Estate presents a compelling investment and lifestyle opportunity. New Zealand's Active Investor Plus Visa programme offers a pathway to New Zealand residency for qualifying investors, and a property combining lifestyle, land and income potential represents exactly the kind of asset the programme was designed to recognise.

There are properties that ask you to imagine a life. This one is already living one. For more than a decade, 53 Duck Creek Road has produced award-winning olive oil from its own groves, recognised from New Zealand to Los Angeles, earning Gold Medals, Best in Class, Best in Show and Overall Trophy honours across the world's most respected olive oil competitions. This is not a lifestyle aspiration. It is a proven, producing legacy, cultivated by the current owners and ready to be continued. Designed by New Zealand architect David Ponting, the residence does not impose upon the land. It inhabits it. Strong horizontal lines, natural materials and expansive glazing draw the landscape inward, while a north-facing covered alfresco with fireplace anchors the entertaining heart of the home. A designer kitchen with quartz benchtops, open-plan living and dining, separate lounge, media room and office ensure the home lives as generously day to day as it does for occasions. Then there is the tower. Rising as a bold vertical counterpoint to the low horizontal sweep of the main wing, it holds three double bedrooms across successive levels, connected by an internal staircase that climbs through each space toward something worth the journey. A rooftop terrace crowns it all, open to the Matakana sky, with rolling countryside and mature canopy stretching in every direction. The master suite sits apart in its own wing, quiet and unhurried, with two bathrooms, a guest powder room, electric underfloor heating, open fireplace and air-conditioning completing a home of genuine substance. Outside, a heated pool and spa, established olive groves and orchards, workshop, triple garaging and 2.68 hectares of landscaped grounds complete a property that functions with the same intention it was designed with. Minutes from Matakana Village, boutique vineyards and the coast, with Auckland City well within reach, this is architecture with presence, land with purpose and a legacy already in motion. Who lives in a house like this... you do.
