4 Lawrence Road, Mangawhai, Kaipara, Northland

Waiata Pae (song of the ridge) offers you a slice of rural living yet is on tar seal and only minutes from all the coastal fun this welcoming, growing community proffers.

With a north-east aspect, the sun spills into the home and warms the living area throughout the day, with sliders opening out on both sides of the home. Horizon views to the sand dunes, island and ocean are captured from the living and the kitchen enjoys expansive rural views to the south-west. Sunrises will greet you and sunsets salute you.

With three good sized bedrooms and an office, the home invites families. The bathroom has a separate shower and bath (great for littlies) and a separate toilet for convenience. The separate laundry is handy for lifestyle living and opens out to the rear of the home. Freshly painted and carpeted, you can utilise your flair for finishing touches that will make the home yours. A large, single internal garage is great for easy access to the home and with a sliding door off the garage, it lets in the light and allows easy removal and storage of wet weather and sports gear.

The studio is a great addition of approximately 40sqm and there are many options here. Think games room, extended family, at home business or maybe an area for your hobbies, where you can remove yourself from the busyness of life - the choice is yours.

The three bay, clear span, shed, with high stud, lets you secure pleasure and leisure vehicles, create a workshop and maybe offer storage for a business, and will be particularly appealing to tradies. A circular drive also allows plenty of off-street parking as well as easy hook up and drop off of horse floats, boats and trailers.

If your child has been dreaming of a pony, or perhaps you've always longed for a horse, this is horsey heaven. Two stables, with rubber matting, tack shed and grassed, fully fenced 60 x 20m arena, along with smaller paddocks for grazing, makes equestrian life easy. Add to that the local pony club only 3kms away, and beach rides not much further, and you have it all.

With 1.3 hectares the land has been set up for easy horse management but with four paddocks you could use the land to graze a few beefies or sheep, ride dirt bikes or just enjoy having the land around you, or, if you'd like the space but not want the land, you could attract someone wanting grazing for their horses and just have the pleasure of watching them.

Mangawhai has a great range of eateries, shops and services as well as sports clubs, boating, golfing, surfing, skate park - you name it, there is a club or group! There is also a range of pre-schools and a fantastic primary/intermediate school. There is even a bus shelter at the start of the drive for waiting, when heading to high school. If you have dreamed of giving your kids, or just yourselves, a bit of the good life, then grab this opportunity with both hands. Absent vendors want sold - don't delay!

With so much on offer, you must make time to view to get a real sense of the property. Open homes Saturday/Sunday 1-1.45pm or call to arrange private viewings. We look forward to seeing you there.
