115 Alfred Road, Egmont Village, New Plymouth, Taranaki

A hidden sanctuary awaits, sitting proudly above the Waiwhakaiho River with sweeping panoramic views across native treetops to the mountain in all its glory. This solid four-bedroom home offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly hard to find - peaceful, private and perfectly set up for families, gardening enthusiasts, nature lovers, or anyone needing serious shed space for projects, toys or working from home. Set on 1.1087 hectares, the property is beautifully established and thoughtfully laid out. There’s a fenced paddock ideal for a couple of sheep, free-ranging chickens with their own chook house, raised vegetable patches and berry houses ready to keep you close to self-sufficiency. The impressive shedding includes a large freestanding garage complete with three-phase power and a service pit, plus an additional standalone garage - perfect for extra vehicles, storage or hobbies. The grounds are a true highlight, with fruit trees galore including feijoa, cherry guava, lemon, avocado, fig, tamarillo and mandarin. Mature magnolias, maples, puriri, rhododendrons and the stunning handkerchief tree add colour and character throughout the seasons. Meandering hidden paths lead you down to your own private riverbed along the beautiful Waiwhakaiho river - and at night, glow worms light parts of the pathway walls, creating a magical touch. The home itself welcomes you with a sunny wraparound deck flowing from the main living area - the perfect place to relax and soak in the views. Inside, the modern, well-equipped kitchen will impress any avid cook, seamlessly connecting to the open-plan dining and lounge area that captures all-day sun and those breathtaking outlooks. A large freestanding fireplace with wetback keeps the home warm and cosy in the cooler months while helping reduce power bills, complemented by a DVS ventilation system for year-round comfort. The master bedroom is privately positioned at one end of the home, complete with ensuite and generous wardrobe space. Three additional bedrooms are located off the hallway, ideal for a growing family, supported by a separate family bathroom, laundry and excellent storage throughout. Downstairs offers even more versatility, with a fabulous craft room, a grand entry foyer and a large internal access garage. This is a property you truly need to experience to appreciate its peace and tranquillity - yet it remains conveniently close to Egmont Village School and within easy commuting distance to town. My vendors have cherished their time here and created wonderful memories, and now it is ready for new owners to embrace the lifestyle and make it their own.
