10 Waitaua Road Kauri, Whangarei District

Set on 2.62 hectares of land, including approximately 2.39 hectares of protected native bush, this special property offers privacy, character and an enviable lifestyle surrounded by nature - just minutes from Kamo village.

Originally built in 1975, the home has been thoughtfully renovated and modernised over the years, blending rustic charm with contemporary comfort. Constructed with full-round treated pine logs and steel portal framing, the house spans approximately 160 square metres and features generous verandahs and decking that extend your living space outdoors.

Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and functional. A spacious open-plan living area flows out to the west-facing deck, ideal for entertaining or relaxing among the birdsong. The modern kitchen and master suite were fully renovated in 2022, including a stylish tiled ensuite and engineered stone benchtops. Double glazing has been installed throughout most of the home, and the log fire in the lounge keeps things cosy in winter.

Over the years, multiple upgrades have enhanced the property - including a new roof, recladding, insulation, carpet, laundry and bathroom improvements, and a re-landscaped entrance with level ramp access. The home also includes an office, excellent storage, and a standalone double garage with its own upgraded roof and lighting.

Water is supplied via a 25,000-litre rainwater collection system with filtration and pressure pump, while a connection to the WDC water supply is available for outdoor use. The property is also equipped with an alarm system, sensor-monitored driveway access, and rural broadband.

What truly sets this property apart is the surrounding covenanted native bush, protected since 1997 and lovingly restored over the past two decades. The forest features mature totara, puriri, taraire and kohekohe, with a dense understory of nikau and tree ferns. A network of simple walking tracks provides access for ongoing conservation work, which has included replanting, pest control, and rubbish removal. Birdlife is abundant, with Tui, Kereru, quail, morepork, and even occasional visits from kaka and shining cuckoos.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a peaceful, well-cared-for sanctuary where the beauty of Northland's native forest meets the comfort of a solid, thoughtfully upgraded home.

If you're seeking lifestyle, tranquillity, and a connection to nature - all within easy reach of Whangarei - 10 Waitaua Road deserves your attention.
