For decades, this much-loved home has been the backdrop for family milestones. Laughter around the dinner table, and summers filled with tents on the lawn and children playing until the sun slipped behind the hills. Now offered to the market for the first time in many years, 181 Rifle Range Road is ready to welcome its next chapter.

Set in the heart of central Taupo, on a generous 1184sqm (more or less) freehold site, slightly beyond the iconic quarter-acre Kiwi dream, this classic 1950s weatherboard home offers the kind of space and possibility we so rarely find today. Steeped in the charm of bygone eras, it carries the character and warmth of its time, while also presenting exciting scope for the future. Spread across two levels with four bedrooms, two separate living areas, and a freestanding garage. The home sits slightly elevated from the street, enjoying all-day sun and filtered outlooks, while also offering captivating 360-degree views from the upper level.

The main living, dining, and one of the bedrooms open to a sunny deck, making the perfect spot to gather with loved ones or soak up Taupo's golden summer evenings. The gently sloping section provides ample room for children to run, pets to roam, and space to bring your vision to life. Its solid 1950s bones and timeless character provide a perfect canvas for modern comforts, allowing you to enhance and personalise while retaining the warmth and personality of its era. Comfortable as it is, yet full of potential, this property's General Residential zoning and substantial land size open the door to a range of exciting futures - from a thoughtful renovation or development project, to simply enjoying the timeless Lake Taupo lifestyle.

The location couldn't be more convenient, just a short stroll to Taupo town centre, local schools, and only minutes to the lakefront. With its year-round lifestyle appeal, from boating, biking, and fishing in summer, to skiing on Mount Ruapehu in winter, Taupo continues to be a place people dream of calling home. 181 Rifle Range Road isn't just a property, it's a place where stories have been written, and where new ones are waiting to begin. Whether you're seeking a forever family home to grow in and imagine the future, an investment, a development opportunity, or a classic lake vacation home, this is a rare and special offering in the very heart of Taupo.
