One holding - many landscapes
macdonald farm
a 122-hectare muriwai landholding of rare scale
for the first time in generations, the macdonald family estate at muriwai is offered to the market as one holding. macdonald farm is a substantial and remarkably varied rural property in one of auckland’s most distinctive coastal communities.
comprising approximately 122.43 hectares (302.48 acres, more or less) across coster road and taiapa road, the land moves through open grazing country and rolling pasture into dramatic, bush-lined gullies and sheltered valleys. ponds and water features add another dimension, while long views open across the muriwai hinterland towards the coast.
this is not a property defined by a single house, view or building platform. its distinction lies in the scale and diversity of the land itself: meaningful rural acreage, a striking west-coast landscape and a position beside a community attracting growing attention.
already held in eleven freehold titles, macdonald farm has historically been run as one integrated holding. the executors are now offering the entire property in a single transaction to one purchaser. the existing title structure is part of the property’s history and legal framework; the sale is not being offered by individual title or in smaller group ings.
two dwellings, including the original farmhouse, provide an established base and a tangible connection to the generations who have held this land. beyond them, the country itself is the story: open pasture, varied contour, sheltered valleys and natural water features that make each part of the holding distinct.
how that life is lived is up to the next owner. work the land, ride across the property, play golf, head to muriwai for a surf or fish the coast. the landscape offers something different around every turn.
macdonald farm borders muriwai township while retaining the scale and character of a substantial rural holding. black-sand beaches, surf, fishing and woodhill forest are part of the wider lifestyle; waimauku is nearby and auckland remains within reach.
golf is adding another dimension to the locality. the established muriwai golf links is part of the area’s identity, while the neighbouring muriwai downs golf, lodge and sports development is bringing further investment and international attention to the district. the neighbouring development is separate from macdonald farm and does not confer any development right on the property.
the land’s varied terrain has prompted interest in uses beyond conventional farming, including film, horticulture and golf. these are matters for a purchaser to investigate independently and would be subject to planning review and any required approvals. no particular future use or development outcome is represented as assured.
macdonald farm sits within an evolving west-coast community, yet offers something increasingly difficult to find: approximately 122 hectares of varied country, held together as one substantial coastal landholding.
it is land to farm, to explore and to enjoy. what comes next is yours to decide.
