A Home That Produces

Overview

About this Property

There are properties that ask you to imagine a life. This one is already living one. For more than a decade, 53 Duck Creek Road has produced award-winning olive oil from its own groves, recognised from New Zealand to Los Angeles, earning Gold Medals, Best in Class, Best in Show and Overall Trophy honours across the world's most respected olive oil competitions. This is not a lifestyle aspiration. It is a proven, producing legacy, cultivated by the current owners and ready to be continued. Designed by New Zealand architect David Ponting, the residence does not impose upon the land. It inhabits it. Strong horizontal lines, natural materials and expansive glazing draw the landscape inward, while a north-facing covered alfresco with fireplace anchors the entertaining heart of the home. A designer kitchen with quartz benchtops, open-plan living and dining, separate lounge, media room and office ensure the home lives as generously day to day as it does for occasions. Then there is the tower. Rising as a bold vertical counterpoint to the low horizontal sweep of the main wing, it holds three double bedrooms across successive levels, connected by an internal staircase that climbs through each space toward something worth the journey. A rooftop terrace crowns it all, open to the Matakana sky, with rolling countryside and mature canopy stretching in every direction. The master suite sits apart in its own wing, quiet and unhurried, with two bathrooms, a guest powder room, electric underfloor heating, open fireplace and air-conditioning completing a home of genuine substance. Outside, a heated pool and spa, established olive groves and orchards, workshop, triple garaging and 2.68 hectares of landscaped grounds complete a property that functions with the same intention it was designed with. Minutes from Matakana Village, boutique vineyards and the coast, with Auckland City well within reach, this is architecture with presence, land with purpose and a legacy already in motion. Who lives in a house like this... you do.
