114 | Golden Homes Northland T T Karen Phelps Opportunities beckon in Northland T Tto page 116 BUILDING Demand for quality design-and-build solutions in Northland is being driven by buyers seeking lifestyle properties away from urban centres, but still having connectivity to major cities, says Golden Homes Northland’s sales manager Colin Marshall. “Lifestyle properties are still growing in interest, especially from those wanting to get out of the rat race but still commutable, or have a weekend getaway not too far away,” explains Colin. “Northland is getting a lot of interest for this reason and a lot is happening in Northland in terms of developments and opportunities for people to build homes.” Golden Homes is establishing show homes across multiple Auckland and Northland subdivisions and has a variety of house-and-land packages available. “Design-and-build solutions are growing in demand, due to quality of build and specifications,” says Colin. “Golden Homes offers value for money from the design process, fixed pricing, through to the completed home ready to move in.” At Mangawhai Central, Golden Homes is targeting buyers seeking contemporary coastal living within 90 minutes of Auckland. The 116-hectare master-planned community sits strategically between ‘The Heads’ and ‘The Village’, offering flat, well-proportioned sections with many featuring rural covenanted bush or estuary views. “Centrally located between some of New Zealand’s best beaches, fishing spots, golf courses and local amenities, Mangawhai Central is an exciting new coastal community like no other,” says Colin. “This development will deliver up to 800 new homes, creating a vibrant multi-generational community with established amenities within walking distance.” For those seeking elevated rural views, Mangawhai Hills presents lifestyle sections across 185 hectares with sweeping views from Mangawhai waters to the Taranga Islands and the Brynderwyns to the west. Colin says the development emphasises sustainability, with on-site management of water, wastewater and power systems complementing the national grid. “This master-planned regenerative community is a true celebration of nature, featuring an extensive network of native bush walking trails and cycle tracks,” says Colin. “The carbon-neutral community focuses on re-wilding wetlands and restoring native bush to create a biodiverse sanctuary.” Perhaps the most exclusive offering is at Marsden Cove, where Golden Homes is constructing a high-end show home due for completion in early 2026. This unique waterways development, created by Hopper Developments, redefines waterfront living just 30 minutes south of Whangarei.
