Just north of Levin, Koputaroa and Poroutawhao are rural communities of farms, lifestyle blocks and country homes. Koputaroa sits on State Highway 57 on the way to Shannon, and Poroutawhao lies just north-west of Levin on State Highway 1. Together they had 858 residents at the 2023 census, up from 768 in 2018.
These are close-knit country communities built around their schools and halls. Koputaroa School on Koputaroa Road has taught Years 1 to 8 since 1891, with a roll of more than 180, and Koputaroa Hall sits right next door. Poroutawhao School, also Years 1 to 8, has a roll of around 95, and Poroutawhao has its own community hall.
Both communities have deep Ngāti Raukawa connections. Kererū Marae at Koputaroa and Huia and Matau Marae at Poroutawhao are important meeting places, and there are several Māori land blocks around Poroutawhao. For something different, Heights Experience on Te Rohenga Road at Koputaroa runs clay shooting, archery and axe throwing by appointment.
Koputaroa and Poroutawhao suit buyers who want space, a country school and room for animals or a large garden, while staying close to Levin for shopping, secondary schools and services.
Rural and lifestyle buyers ask detailed questions about water, wastewater, fencing and access. Having that information, the LIM and any reports ready makes it easier for them to commit. Ask us for a free appraisal based on the closest comparable sales.
