A Private Estate of Substance, Style & Possibility

A rare and remarkable lifestyle estate awaits in one of Maungatapere's most desirable pockets, quietly set on 4.82 hectares of fertile, flat volcanic land. At the heart of this premium property is a beautifully upgraded modern homestead that feels current, calm and effortlessly luxurious.

The striking new designer kitchen and elegantly refreshed bathrooms are complemented by fresh interior paintwork, a new heat pump and an efficient HRV system - all designed for comfort and everyday enjoyment.

Designed for both family living and relaxed entertaining, the layout offers two generous living areas, creating flexibility and separation when needed. The master suite is privately positioned and complete with a walk-in wardrobe and elegant ensuite, while a thoughtfully placed third bathroom off the laundry adds practical convenience - ideal for busy households, guests or outdoor living.

North-facing and bathed in natural light, the living spaces flow seamlessly to sheltered patios, retractable awnings and a private spa retreat, creating an incomparable connection between indoor and outdoor living. Designed for both relaxed everyday living and effortless entertaining, the home opens to established tropical gardens and mature plantings that frame each outlook, infusing the setting with a sense of sanctuary, privacy and tranquillity.

Beyond the homestead, the property offers excellent shedding and infrastructure rarely matched in lifestyle holdings of this calibre. A well-positioned farm shed and a newer utility shed provide versatile space for storage, workshop use or future adaptation, adding real long-term flexibility. Historic stone walls weave through the landscape, lending character and a sense of permanence that money alone can't replicate, anchoring the land visually and emotionally.

The volcanic soil and flat contours open up a wide range of possibilities - from lifestyle pursuits and productive plantings to hobby farming or simply enjoying space to breathe. With four shares in the Maungatapere Water Company supporting irrigation and an excellent water supply, established veggie gardens, fruit trees and plantings already in place, the land delivers choice without obligation.

Just minutes from Maungatapere village and within easy reach of Whangarei, this is far more than just a property - it's a place to settle, to enjoy life and to shape your future on your own terms.
