MARRINER'S HOUSE - Riverside Character Home with Potential+
Step back in time, without leaving modern life behind. This beautifully preserved villa on the banks of the Northern Wairoa River isn't just a home - it's a piece of Dargaville's story, ready for its next chapter.
Built with craftsmanship that simply can't be replicated today, Marriner's House exudes warmth and personality - from its kauri floorboards and timber beams to the cosy attic bedrooms complete with dormer windows. Around 160sqm of living space offers a welcoming ground-floor layout: a large lounge and dining area, modern kitchen, spacious master suite, and French doors opening to a private covered porch - ideal for morning coffee or riverside sunsets.
A RIVERSIDE LOCATION - BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY?
Set on a 1,001sqm fenced section with a generous double garage/workshop, there's ample room to expand - perhaps a guest cottage, artist's studio, or even a garden tearoom to share the property's charm with others. (Its prime State Highway 12 position makes it potentially perfect for a home business or weekend Devonshire Tea destination.)
HERITAGE CHARM, MODERN FREEDOM
Yes, it's historic - and that's exactly what makes it special. Its character has been lovingly maintained, but daily life here is simple, comfortable, and relaxed. You're within a short stroll of town, local schools, and the riverside walkways - and just 15 minutes from iconic west coast beaches.
A REAL OPPORTUNITY - AND IT MAY BE MORE AFFORDABLE THAN YOU THINK
Our sellers are serious about moving on. If you've admired this property from afar, don't assume it's beyond reach - come see it, fall in love, and make your move before auction day.
Auction: 1.00pm, 14 November 2025 - 110 Victoria Street, Dargaville (unless sold prior)
