822 Motukawa road, Inglewood, New Plymouth, Taranaki

5 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Self-Contained Wing | Multiple Water Sources

Wake up to birdsong, wide open skies, and the freedom of true country living, with the added bonus of income potential. Tucked away in a peaceful, secluded pocket of Tarata, this versatile lifestyle property offers not only space and privacy, but the flexibility to generate extra income or comfortably accommodate extended family in the large house, or utilise the land space.

Set on approximately 9.5 acres (3.8565 ha), the five-bedroom home includes a privately positioned fifth bedroom with its own bathroom, laundry, and kitchenette-style bench area. Ideal as an Airbnb, guest suite, or teenage retreat, this separate wing creates options that many lifestyle properties simply don’t offer.

Inside the main home, a generous entrance leads into the open-plan living and kitchen area, the heart of the house, where family life naturally comes together. The kitchen is practical and welcoming, complete with a large pantry and space for everyone to pitch in. Painted floorboards add a fresh, modern lift while retaining the home’s rustic charm. Stay toasty with a large wood burner fireplace and plenty of wood to source on farm, New ceiling and underfloor insulation as well!

Four additional bedrooms and a near-new family bathroom are located down the main hallway, making this a great layout for families. An extra-large covered entrance at the front of the home provides a perfect country-style mud area, keeping boots, coats, and farm gear out of the living spaces.

The land offers a mix of rolling and steeper contour, delivering beautiful rural views and genuine usability. Multiple natural springs, two ponds, and reliable water supply support livestock, gardens, or small-scale farming. One large central pond is adding to the peaceful rural atmosphere with other smaller ponds and springs are accessible on the land.

A new on-farm pole barn shed has been added, ideal for calf rearing, stanchion milking, or general farm operations, making this property well equipped for basic farming living.
