Please disregard online estimates and rating valuations. The vendors are realistic, committed to their move to Auckland to be closer to family, and are ready to meet the market.
After nine years of loving life on the farm, the vendors are relocating to Auckland to be closer to their grandchildren. The decision has been made, plans are in place, and the bags are almost packed. Their next chapter is calling, creating a genuine opportunity for new owners to secure an exceptional lifestyle property in one of Whangārei's most desirable rural locations.
Located in the peaceful rural community of Matarau, this 4.0773 hectare (more or less) lifestyle property provides the perfect balance of flexibility, privacy, space, convenience and freedom. Positioned less than 15 minutes from Whangārei and only two minutes from the highly regarded Matarau School and Comrie Kindergarten, the location is ideal for families seeking a rural lifestyle without compromising accessibility.
For those wanting the benefits of land without the full responsibility of managing it themselves, the current grazing arrangement with a neighbouring farmer is ideal, and they would be very happy to continue this arrangement with new owners. This creates a manageable, low-maintenance lifestyle property that allows you to enjoy the beauty of rural living.
At the centre of the home is a beautifully renovated black-stained solid oak kitchen featuring a leathered marble island, Fisher & Paykel ergonomic ovens, a gas hob and marble splashback. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the open-plan dining and living area, designed for relaxed family living and entertaining. Large windows frame expansive rural views, creating a wonderful sense of connection to the surrounding landscape. A separate library and TV room, affectionately known as the Green Room, together with a study currently utilised as a butler's pantry, complete the living spaces.
Within the past eight months, the property has been updated with new carpet and tiled flooring throughout, adding to the fresh and contemporary feel of the home. A wood burner provides warmth and ambience during the cooler months, complemented by panel heaters and a DVS system for year-round comfort. Floor, wall and ceiling insulation, together with the Solar Zero solar panel and battery system, support practical and sustainable everyday living.
Stepping outside, the lifestyle appeal truly comes into its own. The property features beautifully landscaped gardens, vegetable beds and manicured lawns, while the elevated position captures stunning north-facing rural views and excellent sun. There is a dedicated space with a power outlet for a spa pool, or simply relax in the fully plumbed clawfoot bath positioned outside the master bedroom and enjoy the peaceful rural surroundings.
For equestrian enthusiasts, the location is an added bonus. Situated within a well-established horse-riding community, the property shares a boundary with a riding school and arena, while two additional riding arenas are located nearby. There is also a paddock that could potentially be developed into a private arena, offering excellent scope for those looking to enjoy or expand their equestrian pursuits.
A three-bay farm shed with three-phase power, over four hectares of land, large onsite rainwater tanks and additional access to bore water complete this outstanding lifestyle package. This property offers the rare opportunity to embrace a self-sufficient country lifestyle without sacrificing modern comfort, convenience or proximity to town. For buyers seeking space, style, sustainability and flexibility, this opportunity presents a compelling lifestyle in one of Whangārei's most desirable rural locations.
