Summerville House

Beyond the coastline of Omaha and the celebrated village of Matakana, Summerville House presents a remarkable expression of contemporary New Zealand coastal country living.

Set privately across 5,935 sq m (approximately 1.47 acres) of level, landscaped grounds, this exceptional estate has been conceived to evoke the permanence and romance of a traditional homestead while delivering the sophistication and comfort of an outstanding modern residence.

Completed in 2024, the home was comprehensively rebuilt and substantially enlarged to create a beautiful and spacious character residence with contemporary interiors and uncompromising architectural detail. Across the property, approximately 605 sq m of buildings comprise the 463 sq m main residence, separate 67 sq m pool house and 75 sq m three-car garage.

Wraparound verandahs introduce beautifully considered interiors by Spatial Studio. Soaring 3.8 metre ceilings, oak herringbone parquet flooring, marble, bespoke solid-timber and steel Crittall joinery, and intricately executed period detailing create an atmosphere of quiet elegance throughout.

Five bedrooms are accompanied by five formal and informal living spaces, an impressive open-plan kitchen and scullery, mud room, wine cellar and generous principal suite with large walk-in robe and ensuite. A grand hand-carved rosewood staircase provides a striking connection between the home’s two levels, with an outlook across the expansive gardens and evening sunsets beyond.

Outside, Summerville House becomes a private resort - a place for entertaining, retreat and a deeper connection with nature.

A 13 metre heated swimming pool and substantial pool house sit alongside a full-size AstroTurf tennis court, outdoor fireplace and entertaining areas, expansive lawns and a heritage orchard. Acclaimed landscape designer Aaron Bell-Booth has created richly layered gardens, bringing changing colour, fragrance and texture throughout the seasons.

Beneath the beauty of the property sits considerable infrastructure, including extensive engineering, three-phase power, 50,000 litres of filtered rainwater storage, a monitored security system and an extensive irrigation system. 

Yet perhaps Summerville House’s greatest luxury is its position.

Privately removed from the density of the beachfront, the property remains only minutes from Omaha Beach, Point Wells, Omaha Golf Club and Matakana Village. Tawharanui Regional Park and the internationally renowned golf courses at Tara Iti and Te Arai are within easy reach, while Auckland CBD is readily accessible via the new motorway.

For those seeking a premium New Zealand residence, coastal retreat or generational family estate, Summerville House offers something increasingly difficult to find: privacy and land, exceptional recreational amenity, architectural character and immediate access to one of the country’s most desirable coastal communities.

Summerville House is AIP eligible and may present an opportunity for qualifying international purchasers under New Zealand’s overseas investment and visa pathways.
