About this property
Step into a beautifully preserved piece of Northland heritage with this character-filled 4-bedroom, 146sqm Old Stationmaster's Homestead, set on a generous 2428sqm (over half-acre) section in the peaceful village of Donnellys Crossing.

Built circa 1915-1920, for decades this was the official residence of the StationMasters who oversaw the Kaihu Valley railway line. As with many government-built homes of the era, the craftsmanship and materials were of a notably higher standard than typical residential builds - evident today in the solid timbers, high stud, authentic detailing and enduring strength of the home. Lovingly restored over recent years, much of the hard work has already been completed while still allowing room for your finishing touches.

Inside, the home feels warm, welcoming and full of story, with sunlit living areas, timber features and a sense of calm that comes only from homes with true history. Outdoors, the expansive grounds include mature trees, space for gardens and pets, and a serene outlook framed by native bush and the naturally bordering Waima River.

A major advantage is the separate approx. 55sqm (7.8m x 7.0m) workshop, fully consented and signed off with its CCC. This versatile building is ready for you to complete the interior to your liking - ideal as a generous workshop, creative studio, home office, teen hangout, possible sleep-out, or a potential future Airbnb/guest wing (with Council consents). An additional old 6.3m x 2.5m shed provides additional storage or hobby space.

Donnellys Crossing offers a friendly rural lifestyle at the gateway to Waipoua Forest and Tāne Mahuta, with west coast beaches, Kai Iwi Lakes, Aranga Primary and Dargaville all within easy reach.

A rare opportunity to purchase a genuinely special heritage home in an off-the-beaten-track Village of heritage - solid, soulful, and beautifully situated.
