Historic StationMaster Home – Half-Acre

Historic StationMaster Home – Half-Acre

RESTORED EARLY 1900s CHARACTER HOME WITH WORKSHOP SPACE

Step into a genuine piece of Northland history with this restored 1915-1920 Stationmaster’s Homestead – a spacious 4-bedroom, 146sqm character residence on a generous 2428sqm (over half-acre) section in Donnellys Crossing.

Originally home to the Stationmasters on the old Kaihu Valley kauri timber railway line, the property still carries the charm of its era, with high ceilings, polished timber detailing and warm, light-filled living spaces. The home has been thoughtfully refreshed, with much of the restoration work completed and a few finishing touches still offering room to personalise.

The large section provides space for gardens, pets, recreation or simply relaxing beneath the established trees. The boundary follows the Waima River, creating a peaceful rural backdrop surrounded by native bush and farmland – and is not noted by Regional Northland as a flood zone (the house site is considerably elevated from the river level).

A real bonus is the approx 55sqm fully signed-off Workshop, with a ‘shell’ interior that has untold potential on how it could be used!

Donnellys Crossing is a friendly rural community at the gateway to Waipoua Forest and Tāne Mahuta, with great access to west coast beaches and key Northland attractions.
