Tenuta Matai, 174 MC Kenzie Road, Te Tii, Kerikeri

Set on 2.78 hectares of absolute waterfront on coveted Te Puna Inlet, Matai Estate is an exceptionally private coastal sanctuary combining architectural craftsmanship, outstanding amenities and an extraordinary connection to the water.

Presenting as new, the estate offers exceptional space for family and entertaining. Expansive living and dining areas flow outdoors beneath soaring exposed rafters, centred around a dramatic fireplace, walk-in chiller and bespoke kauri dining table seating 16 or more. Manicured lawns lead to a private beach, with an entertaining area, wine cellar, children’s playroom and 12+ person bunk loft.

Bespoke detailing by the award-winning designer behind Omata Estate reflects an uncompromising commitment to quality.

Waterfront amenities include a private boat ramp, jetty, two-jet-ski pontoon and on-site fuel, all consented, providing direct Bay of Islands access, with extensive boating, fishing and recreational facilities.

Surrounded by native bush, the estate includes a helicopter landing area and a separately accessed, self contained two-bedroom caretaker’s cottage, with its own kitchen, bathroom and driveway, currently being completed under building consent.

The Landing lies just around the bay, with Bay of Islands Airport approximately 40 minutes away and Kauri Cliffs, one of the world’s top 100 globally recognised golf courses, within easy driving distance.

Certified residential, not otherwise sensitive land, Matai Estate sits within streamlined overseas-investment and Active Investor Plus pathways for qualifying international buyers.
