48 Doel Road, Kawakawa, Far North, Northland

Rural living doesn’t get much better than this popular address between Kawakawa and Opua. As you enter the treelined driveway (fit for a country lifestyle mag), you are rewarded with a striking three-bedroom home on 11.55ha.

Beyond the home, the property unfolds into an orchard bursting with fruit trees, a swimming hole, stunning rural vistas, a half-round barn, and unlimited river water. The vendors will miss setting-up camp by the river in summer – swimming, unwinding, and soaking up the tranquillity. They own one km of river frontage.

Originally a farmbuilding, the builder owner has completely reimagined the home. With foresight and craftsmanship, the result is fantastic – it looks architectural from the outside with dark coloursteel cladding and plastered blockwork, and attractive rock retaining walls.

Inside, the home carries that fresh vibe, ready for new owners to simply move in and enjoy. The master bedroom with ensuite is on the ground floor, along with the kitchen and dining zone where limestone tiles with underfloor heating makes the space contemporary and comfortable.

French oak flooring in the bedrooms and living spaces is warm and inviting, and the master bedroom and dining area open to generous decking - perfect for BBQs and relaxed outdoor living. There is also a double carport, supported by a convenient horseshoe driveway. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a lounge, children’s play area, study, and family bathroom.

The development scope at number 48 is exciting. Flat, lush paddocks provide ideal grazing land, while a steeper section with a formed road leads to a potential building platform. The large barn is a major bonus for storage or future use.

What a stellar country lifestyle, close to a boat ramp, handy to town, and school bus collection at the end of the road. Delay not! For the full info pack, call Hayley or David today.
