Built on the grounds of the historic Longlands farm, Matamata Longlands has been thoughtfully transformed into a 242-home Freedom Lifestyle Village. Residents enjoy architecturally designed modern homes surrounded by tree-lined walkways and stunning rural views. Life here centres on the beautifully restored Homestead—the original farm building now expanded into a vibrant hub for entertaining, dining, and community connection—where you own your home outright and benefit from any capital gains when you sell.
Choose from thoughtfully designed independent homes across five home types, each with modern layouts and finishes.
Community and relaxation are woven into daily life at Matamata Longlands.
The restored Homestead serves as the social and recreational heart, while beautifully landscaped grounds offer peaceful spaces to unwind. Residents enjoy a full calendar of activities, dining, and entertainment options within easy walking distance.
If your health changes, you won't have to leave the place you know. Matamata Longlands offers these levels of care on site:
Matamata Longlands sits on the outskirts of Matamata, a thriving rural community in the Waikato. Just four minutes' drive from the township, residents have easy access to local shopping, cafes, boutiques, supermarkets, medical centre, and service stores. The village itself embraces its rural heritage, with tree-lined driveways, open vistas, and plenty of walking paths winding through beautifully landscaped gardens. The original Longlands farm Homestead—sensitively restored and expanded—anchors the village and tells the story of the land's rich history.
