    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.

    Modern Life At Its Most Relaxed

    An inspiring place to wake up, this sprawling residence with its picture-perfect garden accommodates families of all ages and stages – even beloved grandparents – in their own beautifully kept genuinely spacious wing, or, some very (very) spoiled teens.

    More than that, this home has exquisite indoor-outdoor flow to the most expansive deck I think Huapai hosts on. Literally triple your average outdoor space, it allows little ones and pets a covered and sheltered zone to play while you cook, entertain or relax – irrespective of the weather.

    There’s ample room for a grown-up lounge suite, a sandpit, paddling pool, or a secure spot to practice with your training wheels. Visions of spas in winter seem an enticing addition.

    Tucked further back, beautifully tended vegetable beds and fruit trees are suggestive of the special character of this semi- rural suburb. Surrounded by twin forests, farms, and inimitable black sand West Coast beaches, this privileged subdivision offers a softer tone to the usual hustle of suburban life.

    Speaking of lifestyle, you are the very shortest of walks from the meticulously planned beautifully contemporary primary school. This is a community with deep connected roots, plus this is arguably one of the very friendliest streets. Adorned with beautifully kept homes, it has a disposition of community and care.

    Back indoors, there are so many features that ensure every milestone is accommodated. The kitchen, lounge and dining zone forms a well-laid out hub, with two wings of bedrooms and the genuine treat of a dedicated light-filled office oriented around it.

    Future proofing a life that is as kind to the planet as it is your principles, this home is also powered by sunshine with an integrated SolarZero system, reducing your energy bills and ensuring your life is uninterrupted while the neighbours search for their torches.

    If a home that sings summer joy with flexible spaces, thoughtful planting, and calming ambiance describes your wishlist, we would be delighted to welcome you to your new home.
