iHISTORIC MARRINER'S HOUSE HISTORIC VILLA WITH RIVER VIEW - RARE DARGAVILLE GEM

A once-in-a-lifetime chance to own Marriner's House - regarded as Dargaville's oldest residence and one of Kaipara's most significant heritage homes. Set on State Highway 12 and overlooking the Northern Wairoa River, this beautifully preserved villa blends 19th-century craftsmanship with modern comforts.

Built in the mid-late 1800s, the home retains much of its original kauri floors, exposed beams, loft bedrooms, and classic front verandah. Sensitive upgrades include a contemporary kitchen, modern bathroom amenities, freestanding lounge fire, and dining-room heat pump.

The home offers approx 160sqm of character-filled living: spacious lounge, dining and kitchen, large ground-floor master bedroom plus two charming attic bedrooms/study options, two showers, a small sunroom, and French doors opening from the dining room to a covered porch for year-round entertaining.

The 1,001sqm flat, fenced section includes a large double garage with workshop and a generous backyard with space for a potential sleepout or granny flat.

A standout feature:
Thanks to its heritage charm, riverfront setting, and high-visibility SH12 location, Marriner's House also offers exceptional home-business potential possibilities - think art gallery, boutique studio, devonshire-tea garden, or heritage-themed visitor experience (subject to the required consent approvals).
