217 Brown Road, Brixton, New Plymouth, Taranaki

First time offered to the market, this beautifully maintained solid brick home with huge concrete block basement presents a truly unique lifestyle opportunity. Set on 1.63 hectares (more or less) bordering the Waiongana Stream, the property offers privacy, space and versatility in a picturesque setting.

Elevated and thoughtfully positioned to capture all day sun and a rural outlook. Large windows throughout flood the interiors with natural light, while multiple doors throughout the house open directly onto the wrap-around veranda - creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and the perfect place to relax and take in the surroundings.

At the heart of the home is a generous living room, complete with a large wood fire, providing warmth and ambience through the cooler months. The well-appointed kitchen is open plan with the dining area, offering a practical and social space with ample storage throughout. The three double bedrooms are generously sized, all with built-in storage.

A true standout is the exceptional basement garaging, spanning almost the entire footprint of the home. With internal access and a toilet, this space is divided into three distinct areas: a large garage accommodating up to eight vehicles, a separate workshop with room for a further three vehicles, and an additional room ideal as another bedroom, office, hobby space, or rumpus room. In addition to this, the home as a separate single garage with internal access. Whether you're a car enthusiast, tradesperson, or seeking flexible workspace, this setup is rarely found.

Outdoors, the property continues to impress with four fenced paddocks, beautifully established gardens, an impressive orchard, chicken run and a barn stocked with an incredible supply of firewood, enough to last for several years.

Located just over 3km from State Highway 3, providing quick and easy access north or south, and approximately 5.5km to Waitara, 10km to the airport, and 16km to New Plymouth city centre.
