253 Cemetery Road, Maunu, Whangārei

Space, presence, possibility

Properties of this calibre in Maunu are tightly held and seldom offered. Bringing together land, scale, and serious infrastructure in one of Whangarei's most established lifestyle pockets, this is a property that stands confidently apart.
Set on around 4 acres, the home is substantial in both footprint and feel, offering close to 400sqm (more or less) of living. Built with a distinctive mix of reclaimed-style brick, cedar, and corrugated iron cladding, the exterior has depth, character, and a timeless, grounded presence that sits naturally within its rural setting. Inside, warm timber features and generous proportions create a home that feels solid, calm, and enduring rather than overdone.
The layout is designed for relaxed, everyday living at scale, with two living areas, four bedrooms, and a flexible additional space that works equally well as a home office or playroom .Excellent indoor-outdoor connection leads to covered entertaining spaces, established gardens, and a saltwater pool. North-facing and well oriented, the home enjoys light, shelter, and a strong connection to the land.
For many, the real drawcard will be the infrastructure. The 117sqm three-bay shed with three-phase power is exceptional and will immediately appeal to tradespeople, contractors, or anyone needing serious workshop and storage space. Add extensive off-street parking with room for boats, horse floats, trailers, and machinery, and this is a property that genuinely works hard when needed.
The land is open, usable, and versatile, well suited to horses, a few head of cattle, or sheep, with volcanic soils and established planting enhancing both productivity and outlook. It offers the freedom and space of rural living while remaining well connected.
Positioned in premium Maunu, close to well-regarded schooling options and only minutes to town, this property delivers a balance that is increasingly difficult to find. Space, capability, and location, all in one.
The owners are genuinely focused on their next chapter and welcome serious interest.
Homes like this do not come around often. It is a property with presence, scale, and substance, and it deserves to be experienced in person.
