12 Awatiro Drive, Kaukapakapa, Rodney District, Auckland

This stunning, near-new brick home in the fabulous River View Estate is ready for new owners to cherish it as much as the current ones enjoyed creating it.

Set on an elevated, gently sloping 3,133 sqm (more or less) site, this home boasts breathtaking views over the river reserve, with vistas of the Kaukapakapa River, village, surrounding farmland, and lush bush-clad hills. Thoughtfully positioned to capture the sunny northwest aspect, this property offers an inviting country lifestyle in a picturesque village setting.

The home includes three bedrooms, two living areas, an open-plan kitchen with a butler’s pantry, and a fully enclosable, covered loggia for effortless all year round entertaining and relaxed living. The easy-care grounds feature expansive decks on the northern and western sides, a fabulous saltwater swimming pool perfectly positioned for sun-filled days, and a productive fruit and vegetable garden. There’s even a chicken run making it an ideal place to embrace a semi self-sufficient lifestyle.

With a large double garage and ample off-street parking for boats, trailers, or a caravan, plus a flat area designated for a minor dwelling or shed, this property would easily suit young families as well as downsizers looking for an easy-care, lifestyle-focused home.

Located at the southern end of Kaukapakapa Village, the property is centrally positioned with easy access to State Highway 16. Silverdale and the Northern Motorway interchange are just a 15-minute drive away, and Auckland City is a 45-minute commute during off-peak hours, offering the perfect blend of country charm with city convenience. The village itself offers a general store, gas station, bottle shop, hair salon, local cafe, and a new village centre under construction next to the Kaukapakapa Hotel which is currently under new ownership and is being refurbished. The local primary school is nearby, along with a daycare, and buses to Kaipara College in Helensville.

The location also offers excellent recreational options. West Coast beaches, Woodhill Forest, and facilities for horseback riding, motocross, fishing, and surfing are all 20 minutes away, while the East Coast’s Orewa and regional parks like Shakespear, Wenderholm, and Mahurangi are within a 30-minute drive for paddleboarding, kayaking, hiking, and camping.
