Description
Welcome to 423 Katherine Mansfield Drive, a versatile semi-rural lifestyle property that offers the increasingly popular balance of country living, modern convenience and self-sufficiency options - without sacrificing proximity to town.
Located in the sought-after Whitemans Valley, this property is just over 10 minutes from central Upper Hutt. Neighbours consistently cite the appeal of the country setting and the privacy, breathing room and lifestyle flexibility it provides, while still being close to schools, shops and work. It's a location and community that supports a more relaxed way of living, without feeling remote.
The character-filled home has three generous bedrooms, plus a fourth single room ideal as a home office, hobby space or library. A well-sized family bathroom is complemented by a second separate toilet. Inside, the home blends original charm with practical modern upgrades, including rimu joinery, open-plan living spaces, a large deck for entertaining, stone benchtops, a new Belling oven and underfloor heating in the bathroom and laundry. Year-round comfort and efficiency are supported by a solar, wetback and mains-powered hot water system, a large wood burner and a modern heat pump - features that save you money and keep power bills in check.
The land is where this property truly comes into its own. Spanning over 10 acres, it offers flexibility to suit a wide range of lifestyles and energy levels. There is ample flat, fertile ground for food production or grazing, but it's small enough to be easily manageable for those who don't want the workload that sometimes comes with living in the country. A standout feature is the large native bush block with established walking tracks, which offers opportunities for recreation, privacy and connecting with nature - or simply a peaceful backdrop to enjoy from the deck while family, friends and pets make use of the large, fully fenced backyard.
- Reliable water supply from a crystal-clear bore, with backup roof-top collection
- Double garage with internal access

Importantly, this property allows you to grow into the lifestyle over time. Whether your goal is increased self-sufficiency, a productive hobby, or simply space to breathe and enjoy nature, the infrastructure is already in place - without locking you into a high-maintenance way of living.
Our highly motivated owners are ready to meet the market and will consider all offers. If your budget starts from $1,100,000, this is a compelling opportunity to secure a semi-rural lifestyle with flexibility, resilience and room to adapt as your needs evolve.
