Tucked away at the end of a long driveway, 734 Durham Road offers privacy in a quiet country setting.

This 5 hectare (12.4 acre) lifestyle property combines mostly flat, manageable land with a unique natural landscape, bordered by a mountain-fed river. There are stunning uninterrupted views of Mount Taranaki, plus Mount Ruapehu and Mount Tongariro to the East.

The large 193sqm character home is a much-loved 1914 Villa filled with country charm. Light-filled interiors and timber detailing with rural outlooks give each room its own personality.

The practical layout features three double bedrooms, an open-plan country kitchen and dining area, and an extra-large lounge with two classic bay windows. There’s a wet-back wood burner set into the brick fireplace and a heat pump for year-round comfort.

A large bonus room with tiled flooring serves as a highly flexible space within the home. With two sliding glass doors opening directly out to the patios, this area frames direct mountain views.

The home is serviced by a filtered fresh water supply and sits among established gardens and mature trees.

The land and river access provide options rare for lifestyle blocks. The land is mostly flat and divided into good, fenced paddocks. Flat lawn areas surround the home, ensuring plenty of space for children and pets.

Extensive outbuildings offer significant work-from-home potential or space for hobbies and storage. A large 4-bay garage is ideal for car enthusiasts or a workshop setup. The property also includes a 3-bay haybarn, an old cowshed, a studio shed for storage, and a dedicated kennel and grooming area.

The location in Norfolk offers rural seclusion without losing touch with town conveniences. Inglewood is a short drive away for schools, supermarket, and everyday services, while New Plymouth is an easy commute for work, beaches and more.
