Description

Set behind a sealed, tree‑lined driveway and surrounded by sweeping lawns and mature plantings, this magnificent Matangi estate offers a rare blend of privacy, scale, and classic architectural presence. Positioned on 2.6896 ha of beautifully contoured land, the home enjoys a perfect northerly aspect, capturing all‑day sun and framing serene views across your own private parkland. From the moment you step through the impressive entranceway, the home reveals its sense of space and refinement. A formal living room with a soaring double‑height ceiling and a feature gas fire sets the tone — elegant, inviting, and designed for memorable gatherings. Flowing seamlessly from here, the family room and entertainer’s kitchen create a warm, social hub, with effortless indoor–outdoor connection for long lunches, summer evenings, and celebrations that spill out onto the lawns. Upstairs, the master suite is a sanctuary of its own — a peaceful retreat with a generous walk‑in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite featuring a free‑standing bath and tiled shower. Two additional double bedrooms share a stylish Jack‑and‑Jill bathroom, each opening to charming Juliette balconies overlooking the grounds. A cosy sitting area completes the upper level, offering the perfect nook for reading or quiet reflection. The ground floor also includes a fourth double bedroom with an adjacent bathroom, ideal for guests, alongside a purpose‑designed theatre room or office — a versatile space for movie nights, client meetings, or creative pursuits. Practicality is well catered for with double garaging, a separate laundry, and abundant storage throughout. Beyond the main residence, a second two‑bedroom dwelling provides exceptional flexibility — currently generating rental income, yet equally suited for extended family or guests seeking independence. The land itself is well‑fenced and highly functional, offering scope for stock, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the space. A substantial shed provides excellent storage for machinery, equipment, or workshop needs. With ample room to add a pool, tennis court, or further landscaping, the property offers exciting potential to elevate an already impressive lifestyle setting. Perfectly positioned between Hamilton and Cambridge, and zoned for quality schooling, this is a home of presence, comfort, and enduring appeal — a place where families can grow, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of country living without compromise. A much‑admired Matangi estate offering privacy, scale, and timeless elegance — ready to welcome its next custodians.

Key Fact

NZ has strict biosecurity laws — importing food, plants, or outdoor gear can result in heavy fines. The work-life balance is exceptional, but the job market is small and remote from everywhere.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
