486 Leigh Road , Matakana Coast

Tucked away from the main road up an elevated driveway, within walking distance to Whangateau Reserve, you will discover this hidden haven. Once you enter this lovingly cared for three bedroom, two bathroom home, you can't help but feel you could be living in your own private and secluded tree house. Internal staircases take you on a journey of discovery, each level offering a unique aspect and quaint living spaces. The main bedroom is positioned for lovely views at the top of this four level home, its A-frame ceiling giving height and a lovely sense of space. On the second level you will find a cosy open plan kitchen, dining and lounge, in winter months you will delight in the warmth emanating from the woodburning fireplace. A raised, outdoor deck area is semi-covered with views of mature native trees and established gardens. This sunny area is where you will sit relax and enjoy looking out over the tree tops and natures scenery below, while you curl up with your favourite book sipping a cup of tea or enjoying your favourite wine. From the landing a pretty little reading nook offers a lovely space capturing a peek of Whangateau Harbour and across to Point Wells. On the third level behind the stair case you will find the two bedrooms and the second bathroom, on the other side steps will lead you up to the family room, with the garage and workshop below. This property is ideal for those seeking harmony and a change of pace or a weekend retreat. Whangateau is a tiny settlement of no more than a handful of homes. Located just 8.5 km from Matakana Village, many homeowners have lived here for 20 years or more. Whangateau Harbour is one of the most important and highly valued estuaries on the Auckland East Coast. It's surrounded by a quintessentially-kiwi village-with original baches, classic caravan park and the recently upgraded rugby club house. Fortunate locals also enjoy music events from international and local artists alike at the historical Whangateau Community Hall. Boundary lines indicative only...
