169 Tomarata Valley Road, Te Arai, Rodney

There is a quiet confidence to this home - one that comes from scale, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for its landscape. Set high within 88 acres of rolling farmland and native bush, this north-facing architectural residence commands expansive rural views while offering a sense of peace and privacy rarely found at this level.From the moment you enter, light and space take precedence. Soaring 3-metre ceilings and walls of glass dissolve the boundary between inside and out, drawing the countryside into every living space. Natural materials set the tone - creating interiors that feel warm, grounded, and effortlessly refined. At the centre of the home, a world-class kitchen becomes both a functional workspace and a gathering point, designed for those who value precision, beauty, and ease.Entertaining is woven seamlessly into the layout. Living zones open to generous outdoor space anchored by a striking Otago schist fireplace, its hand-placed stonework a subtle nod to permanence and craft. A dedicated bar elevates social occasions, while a private cinema room offers a completely different rhythm - immersive, comfortable, and intentionally removed from the day.Accommodation is thoughtfully positioned for privacy and outlook. The master suite enjoys sweeping views across the land, a luxurious ensuite, and a generous walk-in wardrobe, while additional bedrooms each connect directly to private decks, offering quiet moments with the landscape at any hour.Beyond the home, the lifestyle unfolds at scale. A heated freshwater pool captures sun throughout the day, complemented by a natural stone fire pit and manicured grounds immediately surrounding the residence. The wider landholding is well equipped, with fenced paddocks, a large barn, stockyards, orchard plantings, and productive gardens - all of which can be leased or managed externally, allowing owners to enjoy the benefits of space without the demands of full-time farming.Perfectly positioned near Te Arai Links, world-class beaches, and the villages of Matakana, Mangawhai, and Warkworth, this property offers the rare balance of rural retreat and coastal connection, all within comfortable reach of Auckland.This is not simply a home - it is a considered expression of modern New Zealand living, where architecture, land, and lifestyle are brought together with clarity and purpose.Contact James today to arrange a private viewing.
