    Huapai

    Huapai is a locality north-west of Auckland, New Zealand. State Highway 16 and the North Auckland Railway Line pass through it. Kumeū is adjacent to the east, Riverhead is to the north-east, and Waimauku to the west.

    Settlement at Huapai developed in the 1870s after the construction of the Kumeu–Riverhead Section, a railway on Te Tōangaroa that linked Kumeū to Riverhead. In 1914, Huapai was established as a rural housing estate, and promoted as a fruit growing area. By the 1940s, Croatian New Zealanders developed a winemaking industry at Kumeū and Huapai. Since the 1970s, Kumeū and Huapai have grown to become a single urban area, often referred to as Kumeū-Huapai.

    By 1936, 303 people lived at Huapai, while 198 were living in Kumeū, and 113 in the surrounding rural area of Kumeū. Winemaking was established at an industry at Kumeū and Huapai in the early 1940s, led by Croatian families such as Nick and Zuva Nobilo, and Mick and Katé Brajkovich. Most notably for Huapai, the Nobilo family operated the Gilbey-Nobilo vineyard from Huapai, producing wine from Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage grapes.

    By the 1970s, the fruit growing industry in Huapai became less profitable, after areas such as the Hawkes Bay became more efficient growers. During the same decade, industrial firms began opening operations in Huapai and Kumeū, during which the villages of Huapai and Kumeū began merging into a single urban area.

    Set on 603sqm (more or less) of freehold land beneath the exquisite greenery adorning of the back of Riverhead Forest, this light and bright home has a great aspect, ideal location, and offers that enduring sense of polish only a builder of long tenure in the industry can achieve.

    An incredibly family-friendly layout, with an emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow and open plan spaces is showcased in a home that will tick everything off your wishlist. Tucked away in a particularly peaceful pocket of Huapai, it is a short walk from the state-of-the-art local school, and a quick drive to the established country-feel township surrounded by vineyards, boutique restaurants and locally owned shops.

    Sure to be the heart of this home all summer is the expansive deck. Sheltered and inviting, this is the ideal space to host family and friends in the evening sun. Pleasingly tucked away from the open plan living zone, the bedrooms are a cocoon of peace, allowing you to entertain guests without interrupting little ones. The light-filled main suite enjoys an ensuite and walk in wardrobe and a lovely sense of flow to outside.

    Storage is plentiful throughout, and a separate laundry provides that seamless finish to a home that has been thoughtfully constructed to accommodate family life. All outdoor areas are beautifully low maintenance with a path wrapping around the rear and side meaning the site can be fully utilized plus there is abundant parking which makes hosting friends and extended family a breeze.

    This is the perfect spot for young families as it is comfortingly conventionally laid out and has the brilliant outdoor space you’ve always dreamed of for children and treasured pets amid a tight-knit house proud community.
