A rare chance to own a kauri villa on the Northern Wairoa River - character, space and location.
Some homes are easy to forget.
Others have that unmistakable feeling the moment you walk in the door.
This beautiful century-plus villa (mostly originally built of kauri) sits proudly on 1,001sqm in central Dargaville, overlooking the Northern Wairoa River and within easy walking distance of town. Homes like this - with genuine heritage character and large sections - rarely come available so close to the town centre.
Inside, the home retains the charm people love about villas: original timber floors, exposed beams and generous main room proportions that modern builds rarely replicate.
The layout works well for modern living:
• Master bedroom downstairs for easy day-to-day living
• Two loft-style bedrooms upstairs - ideal for children, hobbies or work-from-home space
• Large lounge and dining area
• Modernised kitchen and bathroom
• Two showers for practical family living
• Freestanding fireplace plus heat pump
• Small sun-catching conservatory ideal for clothes drying racks
• French doors opening to covered outdoor entertaining
At around 160sqm, the home feels warm and comfortable rather than oversized, with spaces that flow naturally for everyday living.
Outside, the flat fully-fenced 1,001sqm section provides room to spread out. A freestanding four-car garage offers excellent storage and workshop space, and there is still plenty of room should future owners wish to explore adding a sleepout or granny flat (subject to any required consents).
Location highlights
• Under 2km to primary, intermediate and high schools
• Easy walk or short drive to Dargaville shops and supermarket
• Around 15 minutes to Baylys Beach or Glinks Gully
• About 30 minutes to Kai Iwi Lakes
• Approx 50 minutes to Whangārei
• Roughly 2 hours to Albany, Auckland
This is a home for buyers who appreciate character, craftsmanship and historic provenance, while still wanting the practical comforts of modern living.
Properties with this combination of villa charm, large section and central location don't come along often.
