197B Willow Park Drive, Masterton, Wellington

When you arrive at this home on Willow Park Drive, what stands out immediately is the peaceful setting and quality of the surroundings. This is a well-maintained property in a highly regarded area just north of Masterton, known for lifestyle properties and a strong sense of community. Willow Park is a place where people truly enjoy space, privacy, and country living while remaining close to town.

The property sits on approximately 1.11 hectares, offering room to move, grow, and enjoy the outdoors. The home has been well cared for by the vendor, and that care is evident throughout. Upstairs is a standout feature, offering a spacious master suite complete with a spa bath, toilet and bathroom, private balcony, and a lounge room. This flexible space could be used as a teenagers’ retreat, additional bedroom area, or a private lounge connected to the master suite. During winter, the views from the second storey extend across the surrounding countryside, while in summer the outlook is framed by established, leafy greenery.

Downstairs, the home offers generous living with clearly defined zones. The kitchen has a warm, country feel, featuring bare wood and stone detailing around the wood burner, creating a welcoming heart to the home. There are three good-sized bedrooms (making a total of four bedrooms), a new bathroom, and a separate toilet, along with a large, practical laundry. The home feels warm, comfortable, and functional for family living.

Outside, the lifestyle features continue with a large double-plus garage, solar panels on the roof, and a separate vegetable garden area ready to thrive with a little care. The bore and rainwater fed water tanks have a combined 47,000 litres, which is more than enough to get through the driest of summers. The property is also EV ready with a 7kw Type 2 car charger. For those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle, the established fruit trees will be particularly appealing and include walnuts (3), plums (3), apples (2), feijoas (5), pears (2), quince (1), lemon (1), nectarine (1), and peach (1).

Families will appreciate the proximity to respected local schools, including Rathkeale College, St Matthew’s Collegiate, and Opaki School, all well known for their quality education. While Masterton is only a short drive away, this property feels far removed from busy town life.

The vendor is inviting offers north of the CV of $990,000.
