Set on a 4,123m² section with a 179m² floor area, this three-bedroom plus office property offers a warm, character-filled home with the practical extras that make country life work well day to day. With three carparks, a double garage and excellent shedding, it suits those wanting room for vehicles, tools, hobbies or a quieter base with genuine flexibility.

The living and dining areas share a generous, light-filled space where pitched ceilings and exposed timber beams create a strong sense of character. Large windows draw in the rural outlook, while the freestanding fireplace gives the lounge a natural gathering point through the cooler months. The kitchen (including the fridge) is practical and social, with a U-shaped layout, breakfast bar and easy connection to the dining area, while nearby sliders make it simple to move out to the deck.

Three bedrooms supported by a separate office that gives the home valuable flexibility for working from home, study or extra storage. The main bedroom feels calm and comfortable, with generous glazing and the same ceiling detail that ties it back to the wider character of the home. A shower-focused bathroom and toilet within the same room keep daily routines straightforward.

Outside, the property has the classic makings of a practical Northland lifestyle block. Open grassed areas, established planting and a covered wraparound-style deck create a sheltered place to enjoy the outlook in different weather. The double garage includes workshop space, while the three-bay implement shed adds serious value for machinery, trailers, tools or lifestyle equipment. A gravel driveway, water tank and multiple parking options support the everyday demands of rural living.

Ruawai offers a friendly rural setting within easy reach of local schooling, shops and Kaipara Harbour lifestyle appeal, with Dargaville available for larger errands and services.
