332 Henwood Road, Hillsborough, New Plymouth, Taranaki

As you turn off the road onto the tar-seal driveway, cows graze quietly to one side, tall trees sway on the other - and just like that, you know you've arrived somewhere special.

You pass the cattle sign, a quiet nod to the land's rural roots, and make your way beneath the leafy trees. The drive climbs steadily, following the gentle curve of the land and offering glimpses of the property beyond. As you reach the top of the rise, your new home comes into view - private, peaceful, and perfectly positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape.

Nestled well back from the road, this spacious 248sqm four-bedroom, two-bathroom home was built in 2007 with a warm, country-inspired design that blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the comfort and care that's been built into every detail.

Inside, tiled wet areas and charming brickwork in the bathrooms add character and durability, while the proximity to a bordering QE2 Wetland Area enhances the sense of natural beauty and ecological value.

Set on 2.31 hectares, the land begins flat around the home before rolling into an undulating hillside - ideal for grazing or simply enjoying the expansive outlook. Currently capable of running up to four beef animals, the property also boasts a functional loading race, a large shed with mezzanine floor, and a double garage, making it well-suited for lifestyle or small farming pursuits.

Step out onto the substantial deck and take in the view - a peaceful rural scene perfect for entertaining, enjoying your morning coffee, or unwinding in the evening as the sun sets and you catch the last light of the day with a glimpse of the ocean on the horizon.

This is more than a home - it's a private rural retreat with space to grow, work, and unwind.
