Matangi, Waikato

There are properties that simply house you and then there are properties that completely transform the way you live. Tucked away at the end of an exclusive private lane and set on a sprawling, gated 5400sqm (more or less) estate in one of Matangi's most coveted pockets, this is a residence that has been reimagined from the ground up, a rare convergence of seclusion, sophistication, and lifestyle indulgence.The 402sqm (more or less) floor plan unfolds around you with light filled, generous spaces and separate accommodation wings, bolstered by substantial four car garaging that ensures plenty of room for vehicles, toys or a home gym. Polished concrete floors and raised ceilings define the interior. Zoned heating and cooling, both underfloor and air conditioning, together with a double sided gas fireplace, keeps the family comfortable throughout the home, all year round,At its heart is a gourmet kitchen designed for those who take entertaining seriously, complete with a full scullery and high end appliances that make cooking a pleasure rather than a chore. Three separate living areas flow throughout the home, each with its own distinct character and all opening to the private outdoor environment that you have an opportunity to call home.The master suite is a chapter unto itself. In a bold and inspired decision, the current owners have created a sanctuary within a sanctuary, the transformation absorbing a previous bedroom to make way for the ultimate in adult suites. A lavish new ensuite, bespoke separate custom fitted out walk-in wardrobes, and a sense of retreat that rivals the finest boutique hotels. Providing exceptional versatility for modern families, a second guest bedroom offers a private experience for guests or extended family with its own ensuite, while three further well appointed bedrooms, serviced by a luxurious tiled family bathroom, ensure everyone is catered for with space and privacy in abundance.Step outside and the estate reveals its most magical dimension. A sparkling saltwater pool and integrated toddler pool, sits at the centre of an outdoor living space designed for year round enjoyment, while a serene Zen waterfall garden, complete with its own meditative bure, offers a place to exhale, reflect, and simply be. For the active family, a dedicated tennis court area awaits your vision, and a rear fenced paddock stands ready for a pony or two. Whether you're hosting a summer gathering or enjoying a quiet Sunday morning in total solitude, this property effortlessly accommodates both.Location completes the picture perfectly. Matangi's semi rural charm places you in a world apart, yet minutes from Hamilton CBD, Waikato University and schooling via the soon to be opened roundabout and pedestrian walkways. The Cambridge expressway keeps everything within easy reach, highly regarded schooling, the boutique cafes and shops of Cambridge town, and the wider Waikato region. This is the lifestyle so many aspire to and so few ever achieve. If you have been waiting for something genuinely exceptional to come to market, your wait is over.
