79 Dorset Road, Hillsborough, New Plymouth, Taranaki

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 unique property really does tick all the boxes. The purchase price will be + GST (if any).
