Nestled in the heart of Lake Ōkareka, 1 Summit Road offers a lifestyle enriched by nature, tranquillity, and the close-knit charm of this coveted lakeside community. Set across an expansive 1573sqm (more or less) section, every corner of the grounds feels inviting, with birdsong drifting through the trees and lush greenery forming a serene backdrop to daily life.
The 234sqm main residence spans two thoughtful levels, with the upper floor filled with natural light throughout the day. Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces connect effortlessly to wraparound decking, creating an easy flow between indoors and out. Large french doors invite alfresco dining, morning coffee among the trees, and relaxed gatherings on warm summer evenings. Three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom complete this level, while a covered carport provides direct, sheltered access into the home.
The lower level enhances the home’s versatility. A spacious studio room equipped with its own bathroom and kitchenette offers an ideal space for guests, extended family, or a comfortable work-from-home base. Oversized garaging provides ample room for vehicles, workshop projects, or storing lake gear, while a generous storage room adds further practicality.
A charming detached chalet extends the appeal even further. With its own sun-soaked deck and inviting interior. This structure is permitted as a boat shed only.
The large, terraced section is a true highlight, thoughtfully arranged to blend productive gardens with peaceful outdoor living spaces. Established trees and lush plantings create a sense of calm, while the spacious lawns offer room for play, pottering, or simple relaxation. The rustic outdoor BBQ area sets the stage for long summer evenings shared with friends and family.
Just moments from the lake’s edge and the boat ramp, this property captures the essence of Lake Ōkareka living -peaceful, connected, and surrounded by natural beauty. With swimming, kayaking, walking trails, and Rotorua’s world-class outdoor pursuits close at hand, this is a lifestyle location that blends calm retreat with everyday convenience.
