Set across five hectares in one of Muriwai’s most tightly held rural pockets, 376 Taiapa Road is a property with genuine depth.

At its heart sits a character filled 1905 homestead, warm, authentic and beautifully positioned to overlook rolling valley farmland. The open plan kitchen flows to an expansive entertainer’s deck, complete with a cast iron Engle fire, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. Three bedrooms, plus an office, full bathroom, standalone laundry and sweeping verandah, provide comfortable, relaxed living, while established gardens frame the home in privacy.

Five years ago, the estate evolved. A purpose built, architecturally designed pavilion was added, a striking commercial venue seating up to 80 guests. Supported by council approvals and an ‘On Premise’ restaurant liquor licence, the property is consented for up to 104 events per year, while also allowing for seven day a week operation, creating scalable revenue potential.

During that time, the pavilion has been home to the hugely popular Good From Scratch Cookery School, building strong local recognition and a loyal following for its farm to plate philosophy and bespoke event experiences. That established and trusted reputation provides credibility and momentum, while the new consent allows any future owner or operator to trade under their own brand and vision.

Weddings, corporate functions, private dining and destination events can operate immediately.
This is not a concept. It is operational infrastructure with significant commercial upside.

The land has been carefully master planned. An extensive farm to plate ecosystem with raised garden beds, a glasshouse, citrus grove and established orchard rows creates both productivity and visual beauty. Native planting, paddocks and animal pens are thoughtfully positioned, with defined parking zones, event lawns and even helicopter access enhancing flexibility. Strategic screening ensures privacy between your residential home and its commercial operation. The estate is further strengthened by large fresh-water holding tanks and the consented use of a natural spring (bore), securing a reliable long-term water supply across the entire property.

Whether you are:
•A lifestyle buyer wanting scale with options for income,
•An experienced hospitality operator seeking a turnkey venue with growth potential, or
•A high net worth purchaser looking for a private destination estate close to Auckland, this property offers layers of opportunity rarely found in one holding.

Muriwai continues to attract buyers seeking space, privacy and connection to land, yet true five hectare estates with licensed hospitality remain exceptionally rare.

376 Taiapa Road is heritage, horticulture and hospitality, all in one remarkable offering.
