From the moment you arrive, the tone is set.
Cedar and skylit thresholds greet you at the entrance of this Rainbow Point residence, their warmth and texture guiding you forward. Thoughtful detailing leads you through the hallway, revealing the home’s considered design.
At the far end, the living pavilion opens to lovely vistas of Lake Taupō. Elevated, private, and perfectly positioned for all day sun, this is a space that asks you to pause. The view is expansive and calm, framed without distraction. Nothing competes with it.
Indoor and outdoor living move as one. Wide sliders open to a hardwood deck sheltered by automated awnings, extending evenings well beyond sunset. Privacy is carefully considered here; a second partially covered deck, subtly set back, offers a protected retreat shared seamlessly between the living space, hallway, and master suite.
The kitchen is both generous and composed. A Blue Roma Brazilian Quartzite island anchors the room, echoed in the splashback maintaining a quiet, cohesive palette. Every choice feels deliberate — storage where it should be, appliances integrated, joinery custom built throughout.
Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned. A discreet guest bedroom wing near the entrance creates separation and calm, while the media room tucks away behind a sliding door — dark-toned, immersive, and intentionally removed from the open-plan flow.
The studio/ flexi room adds another layer of versatility. Polished concrete underfoot, separate access, and full services allow it to shift effortlessly between work, wellness, guests, or creative retreat — without compromise to the main home.
Throughout, the home is grounded in quality: elevated ceilings, curated gardens, intelligent zoned climate control, and details quietly working in the background to make everyday living feel effortless.
This is not a home that demands attention.
It earns it — through space, restraint, and the confidence of design done properly.
