Estate Living, Without Compromise

Privately positioned within the tightly held Maunu Estate, 61 Waipuna Road is a property of rare scale, substance and serenity.

Crafted to echo a traditional Norfolk farmhouse, Lilac Cottage was originally built by one of our district's most respected builders as his own residence - and it shows. From the distinctive eyebrow roofline to the exposed macrocarpa beams, this is a home where character and craftsmanship sit comfortably alongside modern practicality.

Set on approximately 1.55 hectares of gently contoured land, with an impressive 361 sqm floor area, the proportions here are significant - yet the feeling is intimate and peaceful.

The heart of the home is unmistakably farmhouse in style: granite island bench, hutch dressers, double Smeg oven with six-burner gas hob - a space designed for gathering. The adjoining family and dining zone is warmed by a Wagener woodstove with wetback, while a separate formal lounge offers a second fireside retreat, perfect for quiet evenings or entertaining on a grander scale. French doors extend the living effortlessly outdoors, embracing the elevated, sun-drenched position.

Upstairs, all bedrooms are privately positioned, including a generous master retreat. Above the substantial two-car garaging and rumpus, a guest wing with its own bathroom provides flexibility for extended family, independent teens, or visitors.

The property has been enhanced with a 26,000-litre fibreglass swimming pool, fruit and nut trees and space for free-range living adding to the self-sufficient charm.

What truly elevates this property, however, is its setting.

Maunu Estate is one of Whangārei's most coveted lifestyle enclaves - a private subdivision known for its quality homes, established grounds and enduring value. The sense of exclusivity, peace and space here is increasingly rare, yet you remain within easy reach of town, schooling and amenities.

Elevated, private and beautifully oriented for sun, this is an exceptional holding in a blue-chip location.

Opportunities within this enclave are tightly held - and seldom relinquished.

For sale by Auction, 3:00 pm Thursday 2 April, Ray White Auction Room, 131 Port Road, Whangarei (unless sold prior).
