A Remarkable Matakana Lifestyle Retreat
set behind a timeless stone entranceway, 23 rosemount road is a private lifestyle sanctuary of scale, beauty and quiet distinction, set on just over six hectares and bordering the river, only eight minutes from matakana village. a winding private driveway passes through sweeping paddocks, mature trees and established gardens, creating a sense of arrival that immediately sets this property apart.
this is a truly special landholding in a highly sought-after location, gently contoured, beautifully maintained and exceptionally well established for lifestyle farming. broad, open paddocks are complemented by quality fencing, troughs, sheep and cattle stockyards, a hay shed and a huge farm shed complete with sheep-shearing station and auto-doors. mature trees provide shelter and privacy, while the river boundary enhances the peaceful, natural setting and sense of seclusion.
the home is perfectly positioned within its grounds, surrounded by flat, sun-filled lawns ideal for children and pets, and designed to make the most of the tranquil rural outlook. offering generous proportions and excellent indoor–outdoor flow, the residence features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living areas, a dedicated office, and an open-plan kitchen and dining space flowing to covered outdoor areas and lawn.
there is clear potential to modernise and enhance over time, allowing the next owners to add value and personalise the home to suit their vision. practicality is further enhanced by double internal-access garaging, two wet-back fireplaces, separate laundry, and an additional standalone garage and workshop with auto door, ideal for classic cars, hobbies, storage or the ultimate man cave.
whether grazing stock, running a hobby farm or simply enjoying space, privacy and serenity, everything needed for an exceptional lifestyle is already in place. with the owners now downsizing, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial and beautifully located matakana lifestyle property, moments from the village, renowned wineries and stunning east coast beaches. a setting with enduring appeal and room to make it truly your own.
