Morning comes gently at 53 Duck Creek Road. Light settles over rolling countryside, the olive groves stand quiet, and the first choice of the day is a simple one: coffee on the rooftop terrace beneath the open Matakana sky, or a slow walk among the trees before breakfast.
This is land with a story. Across 2.68 hectares of landscaped grounds, a commercial olive grove and established orchards offer something increasingly rare, the pleasure of producing from your own soil. For over a decade, the current owners have harvested these trees for Duck Creek Olive Oil, an award winning label honoured across New Zealand and internationally with Gold Medals, Best in Class, Best in Show and Overall Trophy recognition. The grove is established and ready for its next chapter, in the hands of whoever calls this place home.
Designed by David Ponting, the home moves with you as the day unfolds. The designer kitchen, finished in quartz, sits at the heart of open plan living, so a quiet breakfast drifts into a long lunch with friends without anyone quite noticing. The office makes working from home a pleasure, while a separate lounge and media room offer somewhere to retreat when the house is full.
Afternoons belong outdoors. The heated pool and spa invite long, unhurried hours, and as the light softens, the north facing alfresco with its fireplace draws everyone together, in high summer and deep winter alike. The workshop and triple garaging leave room for every project, passion and pursuit.
Beyond the gate, the best of Matakana is close at hand. Boutique vineyards, artisan producers, celebrated dining and the weekend farmers market are part of everyday village life, and the coastline is there for golden sunsets. When the city calls, Auckland is a short drive away.
When evening falls, the master suite offers a private wing of its own, quiet and unhurried. Three further double bedrooms rise through the tower, where the staircase continues up to the rooftop terrace and views stretch across rolling hills and mature canopy in every direction. It is the perfect place to end the day, just as it began.
53 Duck Creek Road, Matakana Coast. A life shaped by the land, the village and the coast, and a world away from ordinary.
