40 Yarborough Street, Kohukohu, Far North, Northland

Welcome to a home with a past, a presence, and an essence of its own, an opportunity not often found. This early-1900s residence sits gracefully beside Kohukohu’s historic church, in a village that instantly takes you back in time, where life slows down, neighbours wave, and the clock seems to forget it’s in a hurry. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, two of which open onto the verandah overlooking the church grounds. Two bathrooms strike the perfect balance of old-meets-new, blending style with functionality. Native timber floors, stained-glass windows, a built-in bookshelf, and other original

features whisper stories of another era, while the layout comfortably accommodates modern living. Though the home has been extended and configured over time, its historic soul remains beautifully intact. Outside, the surprises continue. A partial wrap-around verandah invites morning coffees, afternoon naps, and long conversations, while the rear courtyard is perfectly shaded in summer by the generous canopy of a well-established fig tree, complete with its own outdoor fire oven... the ideal setting for leisurely meals or evenings under the stars. Other outdoor nooks offer a choice of sun-drenched spots or cool, shaded retreats. A workshop (perfect for the creatively inclined) or sleepout, a single shed, and a surprisingly abundant collection of fruit trees and plantings bring the property together in a way that feels complete and effortlessly charming. This home is for those who value history over hurry, fall for timeless charm, and those who find joy in a village that invites you to live and enjoy life at a gentler pace.
