122 Going Road, Matarau, Whangārei

Embrace the 'good life' with space and style

If you've been dreaming about leaving the city behind and embracing 'the good life' in the country, while still remaining close to town, then Omana Farm at 122 Going Road offers a truly special opportunity. After nine years of loving life on the farm, the vendor is relocating to be closer to grandchildren.

Located in the peaceful rural community of Matarau, this 4.0773 hectare (more or less) lifestyle property provides the perfect balance between privacy, space and convenience, sitting less than 15 minutes from Whangārei and two minutes away from desirable Matarau Primary School and Comrie Kindergarten.

The home itself is extremely stylish, designed in a contemporary country style that feels both warm and sophisticated. Large windows frame expansive rural views, creating a wonderful sense of connection to the surrounding landscape.

At the centre of the home is a beautifully renovated black stained oak kitchen with large marble topped island, F&P eye level ovens and gas hob with marble backsplash, flowing effortlessly into the open plan dining and living area - a space designed for relaxed family living and entertaining. A separate library/TV room and an office, currently used as butler's pantry, complete the living areas.

The property has recently been updated with new flooring throughout, including tiles and carpet installed within the past eight months, adding to the fresh and modern feel of the interior. A wood burner in the living room provides warmth and atmosphere during the cooler months, while four electric panel heaters ensure comfort throughout the home. The home has a DVS system, is well insulated with floor, wall and ceiling insulation, helping to maintain warmth and efficiency year-round. A separate laundry adds further practicality to everyday living.

Stepping outside, the lifestyle appeal truly comes into its own. The property enjoys beautifully landscaped gardens, vegetable beds, and manicured lawns, while the elevated position captures stunning north-facing rural views and excellent sun. There is a dedicated space with power outlet for a spa pool or enjoy the fully plumbed clawfoot bath outside the Master bedroom.

For those wanting the benefits of land without the full workload, the current grazing arrangement with a neighbouring farmer is ideal and they would be very happy to continue this arrangement with new owners. This creates a manageable, low-stress lifestyle property that allows you to enjoy the beauty of rural living while maintaining flexibility and freedom.

With solar panels supporting sustainable living, a three-bay farm shed with three phase power, over four hectares of land, large onsite rainwater tanks with additional access to a bore, this property offers the rare opportunity to embrace a self-sufficient country lifestyle without sacrificing modern comfort or proximity to town.

For buyers seeking space, style and sustainability, 122 Going Road presents a compelling lifestyle opportunity in one of Whangārei's desirable rural locations.
