There’s something appealing about a home where village life meets an open rural outlook. Set on 994m² in Ruawai, this three-bedroom house offers 120m² of relaxed single-level living, with one bathroom plus a separate W.C., two carparks and a detached double garage.

Polished timber floors bring warmth through the shared areas, while wide windows keep the interiors light-filled. The well-appointed eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry, a pantry and room to pull up a stool, connecting naturally with the dining area and living room. A heat pump in the living room keeps things comfortable through the seasons, while the dining area opens directly to the covered patio for an easy indoor-outdoor connection.

All three bedrooms sit together along the hall, with the primary bedroom enjoying a little extra room to settle into. The family bathroom is complemented by a separate W.C., while a dedicated laundry keeps household routines neatly tucked away from the main living areas. Built-in storage through the hall adds another useful everyday detail.

Outside, the 994m² section gives you genuine breathing room, with broad lawn, mature planting and established trees bringing greenery and privacy around the home. The patio sets the scene for morning coffee or meals outdoors, while the detached double garage and additional parking provide useful room for vehicles, tools and weekend projects. Open farmland beyond adds to the sense of space.

Ruawai keeps daily essentials reassuringly local, with shops, Ruawai Primary School and Ruawai College within easy reach, along with the domain, river, wharf and boat ramp for time outdoors. If this feels like your kind of Northland pace, Keegan Dalbeth and Jeni Gorrie would be happy to show you through.
