Some pieces of a home carry more than history—they carry the warmth of the people who came before.

This beautiful AGA once belonged to Matakana Estate’s former Croatian owner. For many years, it stood at the heart of the kitchen, warming the home and helping prepare meals for family, friends and guests gathered around the table.

When Chrissy took over the estate, the AGA was passed on to her along with the property. She chose to keep it as a treasured connection to the estate’s Croatian heritage and the generations who helped shape this special place.

Today, it remains in the kitchen as Chrissy continues the estate’s story—honouring its past while bringing her own vision into its next chapter.

The owner may have changed, but the warmth at the heart of the home remains.

If this AGA could speak, imagine the stories it would tell.
