Positioned on one of Remuera’s most tightly held avenues, surrounded by grand estates of distinction and within the coveted Double Grammar Zone, this exceptional home has been completely reimagined to deliver sophisticated, effortless family living.

The transformation is comprehensive. Beautiful materials, bespoke detailing and exceptional craftsmanship have created a home that feels both timeless and entirely of the moment. Impeccably resolved inside and out, it offers the increasingly rare luxury of a true turnkey residence - simply move in and enjoy.

The sense of quality is established on arrival, with a travertine entrance introducing interiors that are refined and quietly confident. Smoked herringbone oak flooring brings warmth and depth, complemented by bespoke oak cabinetry and the natural beauty of Calacatta Sinfora marble.

Bathrooms introduce zellige tile and aged bronze, tactile finishes that hold the light beautifully. The overall impression is one of considered restraint, with nothing added that doesn’t belong.

At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen is both beautiful and highly accomplished. A comprehensive suite of Miele appliances and integrated refrigeration is discreetly incorporated within the design, while the generous island creates a natural centre for everyday family life and entertaining.

Extending across an impressive 383 sq m (approx.), the home offers four bedrooms together with a study or fifth bedroom, providing flexibility as family needs evolve. A second, light-filled living room on the lower level creates valuable separation and opens directly to the pool and outdoor entertaining, offering the flexibility of a relaxed family lounge or media room.

The connection outdoors is equally considered. Generous entertaining spaces enjoy the home’s prized western aspect, overlooking the beautifully refurbished saltwater swimming pool and established greenery beyond. Private, sun-filled and beautifully composed, it is an effortless extension of the interiors.

The principal suite is exceptional in both scale and execution. A substantial, beautifully appointed dressing room is a luxury in its own right, offering exceptional space and storage, while the adjoining ensuite continues the home’s refined material palette with underfloor heating. Together, they create a private suite with the scale, refinement and attention to detail found throughout the home.

The attention to detail extends well beyond the aesthetic. Fireplaces bring warmth and ambience, climate control provides year-round comfort, while integrated security, considered lighting and beautifully resolved storage ensure the home is as effortless to live in as it is impressive to look at.

The transformation has been equally comprehensive outside. Its distinctive board-and-batten exterior is finished in premium Accoya, complemented by architectural double glazing and a Spanlok Eurostyle steel roof - reflecting the quality and permanence of the work undertaken and giving confidence that this is a home reimagined in every sense.

It is the completeness of the transformation that ultimately sets 214A Victoria Avenue apart. Beautifully proportioned, impeccably finished and considered down to the finest detail, this is a sophisticated turnkey residence of impressive scale, with absolutely nothing left to do but make it your own.

Imagine mornings shaped by light moving across your own private lake. The kind of mornings where the only decision is whether to start the day with a swim, an hour in the wellness studio, or simply a slow coffee on the loggia while the garden does what established Matakana gardens do best.

Lotus Estate is what happens when one hectare of land is given over entirely to living well.

This is a place where weekends feel like retreats, where family and friends arrive and simply do not want to leave, where the boundary between home and holiday quietly disappears. The covered outdoor entertaining pavilion, the 11-metre saltwater pool, the wood-fired pizza oven, the spa, the commercial grade gym, the Japanese tea house, the covered double bath outdoor bath-house, the Balinese over-water pavilion overlooking a private lotus pond, none of it was designed to impress. It was designed to be used, every day, by people who decided that life was too short for not truly living.

Matakana is one of those rare villages that rewards those who find it. The Saturday farmers market is a genuine community ritual, not a tourist attraction. The boutique wineries, the art galleries, the much-loved cinema, the acclaimed restaurants, all within minutes of your front gate. Omaha Beach, one of New Zealand's most beautiful stretches of coastline, is a short drive away. Auckland is less than an hour. The city remains accessible without ever feeling close enough to intrude.

The fully self-contained two-bedroom cottage with its own private entry and large private wellness room provides genuine flexibility, whether that means a home for extended family, accommodation for long-term guests, or a reliable income stream that offsets the cost of ownership. The third building, currently hosts a large gym and added accommodation and opens itself to further possibilities for those with vision: boutique retreat hosting, a private practice, or commercial use subject to council approval. 

With a 10kW solar system, battery storage, backup generator, and over 100,000 litres of water storage, the estate sustains itself quietly and efficiently in the background, so the only thing you need to think about is how to spend the day.

Properties of this calibre, combining natural beauty, productive land, income potential and resort-style design within an hour of Auckland, do not present themselves often. 

Lotus Estate is not simply a home. It is a decision to live more deliberately, more beautifully, and more freely than most people ever allow themselves.

For international buyers, Lotus Estate presents a compelling investment and lifestyle opportunity. New Zealand's Active Investor Plus Visa programme offers a pathway to New Zealand residency for qualifying investors, and a property combining lifestyle, land and income potential represents exactly the kind of asset the programme was designed to recognise.

Enquiries welcomed from qualified buyers.

The main residence is designed for practical family living, offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two generous living areas, and a dedicated office nook. Warm and spacious interiors are complemented by a freestanding wood burner with wetback, ensuring year-round comfort. Large glass sliders open up to let the outdoors in, creating a seamless flow.

A fully self-contained second dwelling adds exceptional flexibility, featuring three bedrooms, an office, spacious open-plan living, and expansive decking with elevated rural views—ideal for extended family, guests, or supplementary income.

Equestrian buyers will appreciate the professionally sized 27m x 60m (more or less) arena, three covered yards with lighting for all-season use, and a two-bay shed complete with a tack room/workshop. Whether you're training, competing, or simply enjoying the lifestyle, the infrastructure is ready to perform.

When it's time to unwind, the heated saltwater pool and cabana provide the perfect entertaining space ideal for family gatherings, while deer wandering through the surrounding bush remind you just how special this setting truly is.

Properties of this scale, privacy, and versatility are seldom available. Whether you farm, or are an equestrian enthusiast, or seeking an extraordinary private lifestyle retreat, this is an opportunity not to miss.
