If you've been dreaming of more space for the family without taking on a full-scale farm, 345 Maungakaramea Road may be exactly what you've been searching for.

Privately positioned on 4,895sqm of manageable land, this substantial 244sqm home delivers the rural atmosphere families want while remaining easy enough to enjoy without spending every weekend maintaining it.

Designed with busy family life in mind, the functional layout offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous living spaces. The main bathroom features a separate vanity area to help keep the morning rush moving, while the well-sized ensuite provides welcome privacy for mum and dad.

North-facing and filled with all-day sun, the living areas connect naturally with the outdoors, creating an easy flow for entertaining, family barbecues or simply relaxing while the children enjoy the space around them.

Outside, there is enough land to graze a couple of cattle, establish gardens or give the kids and pets room to explore-without the workload that comes with a larger lifestyle block.

Vehicle and storage needs are well covered with a double internal-access garage, plus a separate double garage offering valuable space for the boat, workshop, hobbies or additional storage.

Zoned for Maungakaramea School and within easy reach of several other highly regarded rural schools, this is an ideal location for growing families. With the school bus stopping at the end of the driveway and Whangārei city centre approximately 15 minutes away, daily life remains convenient while you enjoy the space, sunshine and privacy of genuine country living.

This is lifestyle living at its most practical-a large family home, manageable land and an easy connection to town.
