Not often does one come across a large lifestyle block that is so appealing and in such a prime location so close to town. The picturesque main entrance leads up the driveway to a beautifully renovated weatherboard home that has so much on offer; boasting four double bedrooms, an office, two bathrooms and the added bonus of a second smaller lounge/playroom. A modern open plan kitchen is complemented by a large functional scullery, including double ovens and double dishdraws - perfect for those who love to entertain. The dining area and large lounge open to multiple deck areas. The lounge features pillarless slider doors to open up the home to beautiful rural views. Complementing the wrap around deck areas are a pizza oven at one end, a large outdoor eating area with outdoor heating, and a private spa pool area. The house features light filled rooms, a wood burning fireplace and separate wings to allow space and privacy. Attached is an oversized internal access double garage with plenty of storage space. An easy-care garden features scents for every season, as well as a vegetable garden with irrigated raised beds. Next to the house you will find a large, detached workshop with drive through access. Perfect for a lifestyle and income opportunity, the well fenced 11.19 ha / 27.65 acres is the perfect mix of flat, to rolling to minimal steeper contour. It includes a small stand of 26+ year old pine trees and has a mixture of sheltered areas depending on the weather. A separate entrance off the main driveway takes you around to the farm buildings which are all extremely well maintained and functional - consisting of a large three bay shed with two enclosed bays, a wool shed converted to storage and wood shed, a well set out loading race and yards with head bail and a further large four bay farm implement shed with incorporated stable and dry lot. The house water supply is via the roof, with the farm and water troughs to the 24 paddocks fed by a bore located on the property. Enjoy the rural lifestyle with the added value of being just a couple of minutes drive to the Valley Shopping Centre and supermarket, easy driving to the airport or beaches.

This stunning home, built over three levels and accessed by way of stairs and lift, is the epitome of elegance + style + luxury living. In collaboration from the vendors and award-winning architect Murali Bhaskar from Boon a 'Star Was Born'. An uncompromising approach to the design has resulted in a home that is resplendently modern and inherently functional. Cutting-edge technology solutions to lavish kitchen, luxurious open plan living, well-proportioned bedrooms and uncompromising quality bathrooms, no detail was overlooked. An abundance of natural light amplifies the sense of space, while stacking doors open the fluid living areas to the north exterior, creating seamless continuity between inside and outside. The house is designed to be naturally warm by the provision of high-tech heating and cooling systems. They include hydronic under-floor water heating that allows each bedroom to be individually monitored and controlled for comfort, and a ventilation system for the home that recovers heat from expelled air to warm incoming fresh air, and which can be reversed in summer to keep the rooms cooler. Lighting is equally well-controlled with KNX technology, sensors, and phone apps, there are no physical light switches in any of the rooms. The bedroom lights auto dim from evening to morning, so they are not too bright when you wake up. There's a lot of love and fun to be had here, drawn by the close-proximity to the walkway, central New Plymouth, schools and nearby amenities. Real estate of this calibre and location is rare.
