744 Karaka Road, Dargaville, Kaipara, Northland

Just over 8 acres or 3.2 hectares of a hidden gem is full of wonderful surprises. In a sheltered valley surrounded by established trees that are both native, ornamental and food producing, the bird song is just magical. The fruit trees have heirloom qualities and an abundance of fruit through the seasons. The land has been organically farmed in the past, and currently minimal use of any chemicals. These trees are the backdrop to the park like grounds, the homestead nestled within. The two-level home is modern and beautifully presented. A stylish open plan kitchen is the hub of the lower level, with your living opening out to a large deck and easy indoor-outdoor flow. A fabulous feature with log burner is not only attractive and functional, but practical with wet back. Two good size double bedrooms and a family bathroom are on the lower level, another two double bedrooms on the upper level, sharing a duel bathroom. The master also has a walk-in robe and doors opening out to a private balcony, just perfect for morning coffees and rising with the birds.

Double glazed windows and insulation are some of the features that assist in warmth and comfort. A double garage and workshop area plus a shed for storage and machinery. A little cabin, tucked away amongst the trees that lends itself to all sorts of possibilities, turning into accommodation, a studio, your imagination is the limit.

Wandering through trees with sunlight filtering through, a small watercourse nearby, gathering fruit, a modern and cozy home, stock feeding in the paddocks and the night time stars that are something else are all part of the magic you will find in this private part of the world. Located in a friendly rural community with a similar distance to Whangarei or Dargaville.

Truly a must see for nature lovers, gardeners, anyone wanting privacy, space and somewhere to become self-sufficient. Bring your family here to grow up the way we used to, playing outside, room to move, be on the land, it is wholesome and soulful.
