2166 Akatarawa Road Akatarawa Valley, Upper Hutt City

Fancy waking up among the lush natives and sharing your breakfast with the Tui, Kereru and Quail? Or do you dream of drifting off to the tranquil hush of a Tararua tributary?

This unique two bedroom property sits on 1077m2 (more or less) of idyllic Akatarawa Valley surroundings, offering an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life, while being only 15 minutes from the iconic Upper Hutt City.

Situated just down the road from Staglands Wildlife Reserve, this cute modern, low-maintenance home boasts upgraded flooring and blinds throughout, double glazing, wall, ceiling and underfloor insulated, and the choice is yours of either the convenience of the new high-capacity heat pump, or the atmosphere of the Metro wood burner. With a wonderful modern open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, which has wonderful indoor-outdoor flow to a covered verandah and large entertainers deck.

Continuing outside, the generous garage with workshop space is supplemented by purpose-built woodshed and chicken coop.

Bask in the summer sun on your North-facing deck and enjoy the spoils of Olive and Citrus trees on the front lawn - unless the birds get there first! What's more, walk down the path through your native Manuka and Rangiora stand to the substantial back yard featuring Cherry, Pear and Hazelnut trees, and landscaping potential limited only by your imagination.

Whether you're looking for a base for tramping and hunting, myriad swimming holes and mountain-biking opportunities, or just a stunning alternative to urbania, there is very little not to love about this gem of a property.
