Lotus Estate is a rare private lakefront estate set on approximately 1 hectare (2.47 acres) of Matakana land, just under an hour from Auckland. A property of this completeness and scale is seldom offered to the market.This is not simply a home. It is a fully realised lifestyle estate comprising three distinct buildings - the main residence, a separate two-bedroom income cottage, and a dedicated wellness and commercial building - all surrounded by established olive orchards, productive gardens, water gardens, native planting, and a tranquil private lake. Every element has been considered. Every detail speaks to a life lived with intention and grace.The main residence is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and the water always in sight. The fully self-contained two-bedroom cottage, with its own private entry, offers flexibility for extended family, long-term guests or a reliable income stream. The dedicated wellness and commercial building opens further possibilities, with potential for boutique retreat hosting or commercial use, subject to council approval.Set within grounds that reveal themselves slowly, Lotus Estate rewards those who take the time to understand what it represents. A lakefront lifestyle property of this calibre, combining natural beauty, income potential and resort-style design, is extraordinarily rare in the Auckland region.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.
