Matakana
Private garden
This rural property located outside Matakana village is nestled into a valley with stands of large deciduous trees and native bush around the boundaries. An expansive perennial garden has been planted around the new house incorporating tall ornamental grasses and an extended flowering season. Orchards of citrus, stone fruit and olives have been planted and an existing wetland extended and re-planted. The drive approaches the house through a sweeping woodland garden. Extensive native planting has created an undulating evergreen perimeter to the property with stands of deciduous trees complementing the pre-existing collections of exotic trees.
