    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.

    If you remember the giddy feeling of a childhood Spring and yearn to capture that convivial joy followed by the warm fluffy feeling of watching your little loves playing on an immaculate lawn of iridescent green, this beautifully kept, much treasured residence will embroider your everyday family life with the levity and gratitude that can only come with owning your own private freehold block.

    Ignite children’s curiosity and creativity with a picture book perfect garden, trees for shade while you picnic in the sun, and the space you deserve. Star-lit moments await as you entertain friendly neighbours on the expansive decking, plus the perfect platform for a quintessentially Kiwi campervan or a boat is already laid, so start plotting summer holiday dreams. Extensive off-street parking is separated neatly from the secure fully fenced garden, meaning once inside the whole property is a veritable playground.

    With beautiful flow to the outdoors, this is a residence you will be instantly fond of. Generously, it offers two bathrooms to its three bedrooms, and has features which give innate character such as the pitched bedroom ceilings creating a blissful sense of space, plus the nostalgic fun of a staircase up to them each night.

    This cul-de-sac sweetheart is ideal for families that want a countryside lifestyle with urban convenience. It has a leafy outlook but sits amid a tightknit community who proudly celebrate their innovative sought-after contemporary primary school, world class beaches, and short commute to the North Shore.

    Set in the heart of Kumeu, your graceful new abode is surrounded by a host of amenities, including locally owned shops (in some cases iconic ones – if Huapai’s ambiance doesn’t seduce you instantly, Just Jess’s donuts will) – plus there are substantial parks, and renowned wineries replete with cellar door experiences.
