    Kumeu

    Kumeū is a town in the Auckland Region, situated 25 kilometres north-west of the City Centre in New ZealandState Highway 16 and the North Auckland Line pass through the town. Huapai lies to the west, Riverhead to the north, Whenuapai to the east, and Taupaki to the south.

    The wider area has been settled by Tāmaki Māori since the 13th or 14th centuries, and the area is of significant importance to Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and Te Kawerau ā Maki. The Kumeū River valley was an important transport node between the Kaipara and Waitematā harbours, due to a portage called Te Tōangaroa, where waka could be hauled overland.

    Kumeū village developed in the 1870s after the construction of the Kumeu–Riverhead Section, a railway on Te Tōangaroa that linked Kumeū to Riverhead. Over the latter 19th century, the town transitioned from a centre for the kauri logging and kauri gum trades into an agricultural centre. The Kumeu Stockyards opened in 1915, and from 1921 the town began holding a large-scale agricultural show called the Kumeu Show. By the 1940s, Croatian New Zealanders had developed a winemaking industry in the area. Since the 1970s, Kumeū and Huapai have grown to become a single urban area, often referred to as Kumeū-Huapai.

    A commercial centre developed at Kumeū in 1957, after the establishment of Wally Reber's transport business. The winemaking industry underwent a boom in the 1960s and 1970s, including vineyards such as San Marino (now known as Kumeū River Valley), Gilbey Nobilo. Corbans bought vineyeards in the area, and in 1960 Selaks relocated to Kumeū after their Te Atatū vineyard was requisitioned to construct the Northwestern Motorway.

    In the 1970s, industrial firms began opening operations in Huapai and Kumeū, including a Carters timber yard, and the New Zealand Particle Board factory, both opening in 1972. During this period, the villages began to merge into a single urban area.

    In 2019, the name of the town was officially gazetted as Kumeū, although it is common to see it spelt without the macron.

    1ha - Heart of Kumeu, Soul of Northwest

    This one leaves everyone that visits breathless at its beauty. To say the grounds are ‘park-like’ would be grossly understating their magic and the degree to which they are manicured. At a smidgeon over 10,000sqm, they evoke an instant sense of wonder – one almost expects to see Alice in a neat little blue dress shadowing a white rabbit.

    Fairytale perfection would be a fitting title for a garden that has undoubtedly been a labour of love, but in its mature state, is now gloriously easy care. As is this immaculate single level brick and tile home. Absolutely expansive, it offers a stunning architectural signature; wide rooms lend grace and elegance, while multiple linked living zones provide a sense of generous welcome.

    This is a home that sings out for children or grandchildren to explore, with a living room so oversized it will accommodate multigenerational family gatherings with ease. Decorated in neutral colours throughout, it has an exquisite light-quality, enhancing an outlook that is awash with the pretty patchwork of greens that characterises Northwest Auckland.

    A mixture of near level land and rolling contoured lawn, the three bay garaging, picture perfect aspect, views and craftsmanship will have you at hello. The care, lovingly planted garden beds, and impeccable freshness of the presentation will keep you head over heels in love.

    As with all the homes in Kumeu, this one is utterly spoiled for choice when it comes to childcare centers and schooling while weekends will be spent traversing the forest paths – this address is so close to Riverhead Forest you can smell the pristine piny air – and exploring Muriwai beach with a stop at the esteemed local wineries on the way home.

    A residence we are extremely proud to market, this timeless home is to be viewed by appointment only, so please contact Anna on 021 607 971 to make a time to view.
