2176 Akatarawa Road Akatarawa, Upper Hutt City

Nestled into the hillside, in the idyllic Akatarawa Valley, and surrounded by native bush, drive along the gravel driveway and the property invites your eye into what you may think is a nature reserve. The magic of this setting is the result of a lifetime of love and passion for the valley, and the natural timbers and the legacy of the current owner's hard work, now ready for someone else to continue and enjoy.

This private and comfortable home can be transformed into a modern haven. There is undeniable scope for buyers to modernize and add their own personal style inside, with four double bedrooms and a separate toilet and bathroom and a large hallway separating it from the living area. Be prepared to be stunned by the size of this home and the exposed wooden beams overhead. The timber joinery provides an element of country charm to the dedicated lounge, as do the open-plan handcrafted kitchen and dining area. Extending the living space outdoors, sliding doors open to a wraparound patio - the perfect spot for spending your summer's entertaining. Warmth over the cooler months is easily achieved with the featured wood burner.

The grounds offer a feeling of seclusion, a haven for birdlife and so much space for children to play and gardeners to potter. Enjoy the bush walks to the river at your doorstep and enjoy Clouston Park right next door with the reserve on the other side.

Purchasers with vision will be drawn to this rural hideaway which offers the best of both worlds. It's here, waiting, but not for long...
