One of Matakana's Best Kept Secrets
3 Haywood Lane, Matakana
By Negotiation
Set on 8 hectares of the Tāwharanui Peninsula just minutes from the heart of Matakana, this single-level homestead commands views across the Matakana River and out to Sandspit Marina that remind you exactly why people come to this part of the world and never leave. The land rolls away in every direction across 12 established paddocks, past productive vegetable gardens and established grounds that have been held to an exceptionally high standard by the current owners, German by heritage and meticulous by nature.

THE ULTIMATE FLOORPLAN
That standard of care is evident throughout. The home was double glazed long before Auckland Council made it a requirement, a small detail that speaks to a larger philosophy of doing things properly rather than to the minimum. The 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom main residence is generous and practical in equal measure, a large living room, separate games room, formal dining, walk-in pantry, and a master suite with ensuite and WIR arranged across a thoughtful single-level floorplan. There is room here for a family to spread out and a couple enjoy. Both configurations work.
THE LIFESTYLE
The infrastructure beyond the home is where this property genuinely separates itself. A fully self-contained legal minor dwelling, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and dining, provides independent accommodation for extended family, a long-term guest, or income potential entirely separate from the main residence. A double garage, dedicated workshop, horse shed, hay warehouse, and two additional large sheds give this property a practical depth that takes years to accumulate and money to replicate. The equestrian arena footprint remains, it needs a new surface and a tidy, but the bones are there for whoever wants to bring it back to life.
The robotic mowers keep the lawns in check. The paddocks are ready for horses, sheep, or whatever your version of the lifestyle looks like. The vegetable gardens are producing. This property has been lived in properly, not held as an asset.
Five minutes to Matakana Village, its Saturday markets, Brick Bay Wines, and Sculptureum. Fifteen minutes to Omaha Beach. The action is close enough to be convenient and far enough away to be completely irrelevant on a quiet morning looking out over the river.
