By Donna TelfordSUMMER RD, MATAKOHE 1 1 0 SIZE: Land 227ha, house 35sq m. PRICE INDICATION: $2.1 million-plus. ON THE WEB: https://www.bayleys.co.nz/Listing/Northland/Kaipara/Matakohe/1200354 SCHOOL ZONES: Matakohe School, Ruawai College. Ken and Heather Whitehead have for 44 years farmed the Northland land that has been in Heather's family since 1892. The couple spend less time on their 227ha beef grazing farm now that they are in their 70s, but at the weekends Ken is still responsible for moving some of their 220 head of stock. The farm, on the banks of the Kaipara Harbour and near Matakohe, is still in the three titles Ken and Heather bought one by one between 1973 and 1993.
