Start your family's story here, in the Makarau Valley in a place where true community spirit still exists.
This historic home was built in the 1920s, one of the original farmhouses when Makarau was a bustling community - now it is a quiet, safe enclave still commutable to Auckland but with a
rural setting and neighbours you will love spending time with.
Built onsite with Kauri milled from the nearby forest, the renovations celebrate the history whilst updating the house to modern-day living. Re-piled, rewired, replumbed, and fully
insulated, ducted heat from old-style floor grates connected to an external heat pump ensures that the house is warm even when you don't have one of the two fireplaces burning.
A sense of family is woven into the spirit of this house, with three bedrooms and a separate office which can be converted into a teenager's retreat. Wide tongue and groove kauri floorboards have been kept in their original state giving the house a sense of strength and history. A large covered veranda wraps around half the house. French doors open up to the veranda from the huge living room, the separate dining room and the family-sized kitchen. Off the main bedroom French doors open to a small courtyard at the edge of the potager garden. A mudroom includes a laundry with a large sink to wash your just-picked vegetables. There is an orchard planted with a variety of fruit trees and surrounded by natives.
The property is fully fenced and at the edge of the tar sealed road is a 96sq metre four-car garage and workshop plus a utility shed.
Your transition to country life will be an easy one as most of the work has been done, save for just enough for you to add your touch.
