Point Wells is a charming location on the peninsula between the Ōmaha River and Whangateau Harbour near Matakana. On this 5000sqm property of manicured gardens, fruit trees and raised veggie beds, this 370sqm home blends seamlessly into its surroundings. With classic board-and-batten exterior cladding in black, multiple alfresco areas including a chandelier-adorned glasshouse (for the ultimate garden-to-table experience), lofty stud heights, solid oak floors, a large mudroom including a laundry and a three-car garage, this home is truly the epitome of sophisticated yet relaxed living.

The Shaker-inspired kitchen, with panelled ceilings rising from 2.7m to 3.6m, provides a focal point alongside a large light-filled dining area. A generous covered outdoor living area opens north off the main living room while a massive media room, with yet another soaring ceiling, is kept super-snug with a beautiful gas fire and super-quiet behind solid barn-style doors. Another touch of understated elegance is the size of the main bedroom with its more-than-capacious walk-in wardrobe, a his-and-hers ensuite and full-size bath. Three further bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with a bath) and a powder room combine in a family retreat fully ready to welcome all.
