Macdonald Farm A 122-hectare Muriwai landholding of rare scale
Held within the MacDonald family estate and offered to the market across eleven titles, MacDonald Farm is a substantial and remarkably varied rural holding in one of Auckland’s most distinctive coastal communities.
Comprising approximately 122 ha (almost 300 acres) across Coster Road and Taiapa Road, the property moves through open grazing country, rolling and undulating pasture, dramatic gullies and sheltered valleys, with waterfalls and ponds adding another dimension to the landscape.
This is not a property defined by a single house, view or building platform. Its value lies in the scale and diversity of the land itself and the opportunity to acquire a significant piece of Muriwai at a time when holdings of this size and structure are increasingly difficult to find.
The eleven titles are offered as a whole, in combinations or individually, providing unusual flexibility for purchasers. Together, they extend from the larger Taiapa Road block through substantial Coster Road holdings to smaller lifestyle-scale titles, creating opportunities for a significant private holding, productive farming, inter-generational ownership or a strategic acquisition.
Two dwellings, including the original farmhouse, provide an immediate base and a connection to the generations who have held this land. The real story, however, is the country around them.
How that life is lived is up to the next owner.
Work the farm in the morning. Ride across the property. Play golf. Head to Muriwai for a surf. Fish the coast. Or spend the day exploring a landscape that offers something different around every turn.
MacDonald Farm borders Muriwai township while retaining the privacy and scale of a substantial rural holding. Black-sand beaches, surf, fishing and Woodhill Forest are part of the wider lifestyle, Waimauku is close by and Auckland remains within easy reach.
Golf is adding another dimension to the locality. The established Muriwai course is already part of the community, while the neighbouring Muriwai Downs golf, lodge and sports development is bringing further investment and international attention to the area.
The diversity of the terrain has also prompted consideration of possibilities beyond conventional farming, including golf and film-location use, subject to purchaser investigation and the appropriate approvals.
MacDonald Farm sits between evolving lifestyle ownership along Coster Road and established rural properties along Taiapa Road, yet offers something increasingly rare: meaningful scale, varied terrain and eleven titles within an established west-coast community.
It is land to farm, to explore and to enjoy.
What comes next is yours to decide.
MacDonald Farm represents an opportunity to acquire approximately 122 ha (more or less) of productive and memorable country, close to Waimauku, Muriwai’s beaches and coastline, and within reach of Auckland.
