Where the Beach Becomes Your Backyard
There are waterfront properties, and then there are places where the ocean feels part of the home itself. Grand View sits right at the water's edge of Matheson Bay, set comfortably above the tide, with a front-row position on the Hauraki Gulf and sweeping views towards Great Barrier Island. On a high tide, with whitecaps rolling in, the sea feels as though it is right there in your living room. A private path leads straight down to the sand.
Life here is wonderfully uncomplicated. The existing four-bedroom bach provides a comfortable base for weekends, holidays and long summer stays, with the living spaces opening onto a broad, sun-filled deck. From morning coffee to evening drinks, the ever-changing outlook provides a spectacular backdrop to everyday coastal living.
The home has been designed for relaxed beach life, with bathrooms on both levels, an internal-access garage and plenty of space for family and friends. But the real story begins outside its walls.
Elevated, private and directly connected to the beach, the site offers an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a substantial piece of Matheson Bay waterfront. For those with a vision to create a new coastal residence, the existing home provides an ideal foundation while the extraordinary setting offers the possibility to build something truly bespoke, subject to council approval.
Highlights include:
• Prime beachfront position above Matheson Bay • Four-bedroom existing beach house • Expansive views across the Hauraki Gulf to Great Barrier Island • Private beach access • Generous north-facing entertaining deck • Bathrooms on both levels • Internal-access garage • Scope for a future new-build, subject to approvals
Matheson Bay is cherished for its natural beauty, sheltered waters and intimate coastal community, while nearby Leigh provides everyday amenities and Matakana is an easy drive away for dining, shopping and the region's renowned village lifestyle.
Opportunities to secure genuine beachfront land in settings of this calibre are becoming exceptionally rare. Whether enjoyed as it stands or transformed into a future coastal masterpiece, this is a property with the location, outlook and sense of possibility to become something truly enduring.

How we worked this out
| Council valuation, May 2024 | $2,925,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Auckland since the council valuation | −4.8% |
| Apartments and houses in Auckland | +0.1% |
| How Leigh sells against council values | +1.4% |
| Homes of this age in Leigh | −0.5% |
| Homes in this price range | −1.3% |
| Land as a share of the value | +0.9% |
| Its own sale in 2018 | +1.2% |
| Our estimate | $2,830,000 |
We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales and its own last sale have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
Free. Takes about a minute.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
