145 Awakino Road, Dargaville, Kaipara, Northland

Set deep within its own wooded section, this rustic log home feels more like a forest retreat than a town address. With 2,729m² of land and 163m² of living, it suits buyers who crave privacy, nature, and a slower rhythm. The living area is warm and grounding, wrapped in timber and softened by views of green through the windows. This is a home designed for togetherness without feeling forced: cosy, but never closed in. The kitchen continues that communal energy. Well-appointed with ample bench space, shelving, and access to outside via French doors. At the opposite end of the kitchen a doorway leads to the laundry area, with outdoor access and a separate toilet. Everything feels well thought out and functional, without losing the charm that defines the home’s character. A solid wooden staircase leads upstairs to four sunlit bedrooms plus an additional loft room, each enjoying leafy outlooks and a sense of separation from the living zones below. The bathroom is tidy, spacious, and well-placed to serve the household comfortably, also with direct access from the master bedroom. Outside, the setting truly comes into its own. The porch looks out over uninterrupted, tree-lined greenery, a private expanse that feels worlds away. There’s room here to wander, to garden, to let kids explore, or simply to sit still and listen. Properties offering this much land, this close to Dargaville, are increasingly rare. A half round powered barn with a concrete floor is positioned perfectly for a home business activity. Other, smaller sheds create ample storage.
