Tucked into the green landscape of Matokitoki Valley, this contemporary three-bedroom home offers a peaceful countryside retreat just outside Gisborne. Surrounded by mature gardens and rolling hills, the setting places the natural beauty of the valley at the forefront.

Inside, a clean, modern design is balanced by a mix of new and antique furnishings and an eclectic collection of artwork. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area forms the heart of the home, with expansive windows and sliding glass doors drawing in natural light and views of the surrounding landscape.

The spacious kitchen features a large island with counter seating and opens directly to the dining and living areas. A separate sitting room provides another comfortable place to unwind, while three welcoming bedrooms offer restful spaces overlooking the property's greenery and hills.

Outside, two seating areas invite guests to enjoy the quiet rural setting. A vine-covered pergola, established gardens, mature fruit and nut trees, and a vegetable garden give the grounds a relaxed, lived-in character, with broad views stretching across Matokitoki Valley.

From this peaceful base, guests can explore Gisborne's beaches, wineries, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The wider Tairāwhiti region is particularly known for its coastline, surf, boutique wineries, and scenic landscapes.
