Ask anyone who regularly visits Warkworth, Omaha, Matakana or Tāwharanui what the worst thing about their day out is, and the answer will always be, “having to go home”.
Now, they don’t have to. Warkworth Ridge is North Auckland’s newest community located just 30 minutes up the recently extended Northern Motorway.
Dubbed the ‘holiday highway’, the roading project means you no longer have to choose between the employment opportunities (and obligations) of Auckland and the lifestyle benefits of living semi-rurally. At Warkworth Ridge, you can do both.
Developed by renowned property developers Templeton Group, Warkworth Ridge is a fully master-planned subdivision that blurs the boundaries between town and country living.

When complete, the 53-hectare, 670-section community promises to celebrate the best things in life, from wide open rural spaces to warm hospitality and great local schools, to easy access to pristine beaches and boutique vineyards, right through to a short commute back to work in Auckland.
“The intention was to create a best-in-class urban living development, and Warkworth Ridge is perfectly placed to deliver that kind of lifestyle,” says Templeton Group director Nigel McKenna.

“The design focus centres around greenery, spaciousness, provincial living, solar orientation, attractive views, and the all-important quintessential kiwi dream of having enough space to park the boat and a backyard for the kids or grandkids to throw a rugby ball around on.”
Templeton has invested millions into Warkworth Ridge’s infrastructure, including retaining walls, planting, landscaping, signage and lighting. To ensure homes within Warkworth Ridge work in harmony with each other, the architectural and landscaping design of all builds must meet specific design guidelines and Templeton Group must sign off on proposed designs before building commences.
“We understand the importance of living in an area where all homes have been designed with the same principles and high-quality standard,” says McKenna.
“We’ve set up a review panel to assist and guide the community to bring the best out of Warkworth Ridge. We also want the homes that make up Warkworth Ridge to be energy-efficient and low-maintenance, something that is increasingly becoming more and more important to homeowners.”

While the subdivision itself promises to be spectacular, the nearby amenities will contribute to a high-quality lifestyle too. Located within the heart of Warkworth Ridge will be a ‘community hub’ featuring a restaurant and wine bar where neighbours can gather.
In future stages, Warkworth Ridge will be home to a brand-new aquatic centre which will also contain a state-of-the-art gymnasium. The local Park and Ride Transport Hub is conveniently located nearby, making the commute to Auckland exceptionally easy, while a recently opened supermarket is right across the road.
“Templeton always has a focus on creating places where people actually want to live, hence the focus on master-planning to ensure there are plenty of amenities and community-centric facilities that residents can enjoy.”
To date, 400 lots have been sold at Warkworth Ridge, and there is a new wave of titles being released next year. Lots range in size from 400sqm to 1000sqm and start from $495,000. For more information, email [email protected] or visit warkworthridge.co.nz.
