1052 State Highway 12, Maungaturoto, Kaipara, Northland

There’s an easy country-town rhythm to this three-bedroom Maungaturoto home. With a 100m² floor area, it offers warm, character-filled living for buyers wanting a practical home base with space to gather, unwind and enjoy a slower pace.

The kitchen and dining area feels like the natural heart of the home, with timber floors and benchtops giving the space a grounded, homely feel. The lounge is a welcoming place to relax, featuring both a cosy fireplace and a heat pump for year-round comfort. Timber flooring and built-in shelving around the mantel further enhance the home's inviting character. The two front windows facing the road are double glazed, helping to minimize road noise while improving warmth and energy efficiency.

The main bedroom is light and well sized, while the remaining bedrooms offer flexible options for children, guests or working from home. The bathroom brings its own personality, with vertical timber panelling, a freestanding-style bath, glass-framed shower and generous vanity, plus adjoining utility or storage space for day-to-day practicality.

Outdoor living is easy, with timber deck areas at the front and rear giving you options for morning coffee under the covered verandah or a quiet evening looking over the back lawn. Established trees, shrubs and garden beds frame the grassed section, while fencing helps define spaces for kids, pets or a small garden project. Small sheds and outbuildings add useful storage for tools, outdoor gear or hobbies.

Maungaturoto keeps everyday life local, with schooling, township shops, cafes and services forming part of the wider country-town setting. The Maungaturoto Country Club adds nearby sport and social options, supporting the strong community feel buyers look for in this area. Get in touch with David Ayling to arrange a viewing.
