Listing # TP28948 | Listed on 4 March

Positioned within the rolling green contours of Wairakei and just minutes from the commercial pulse of Taupō, 605 State Highway 5 represents far more than a lifestyle property, it is a substantial landholding with genuine business potential.

Spanning 6.5 ha approx. of easy rolling pasture, this commanding estate offers scale, infrastructure, location, and versatility - a rare combination for the discerning lifestyler, strategic investor, or hospitality entrepreneur.

At its heart stands an impressive lodge-style residence comprising five generous bedrooms and three modern bathrooms. Designed to capture sweeping rural vistas and distant mountain views, the home blends rustic character with contemporary comfort. Central heating ensures year-round warmth, while expansive living areas provide flexibility for family occupation, executive retreats, or boutique accommodation ventures. Exceptional storage and a three-bay internal-access garage support both lifestyle and operational needs.

Infrastructure across the property significantly enhances its commercial appeal. High-standard fencing and established equine facilities position the land perfectly for agistment, equestrian training, or boutique breeding operations. The property sits just 9 km from the National Equestrian Centre and approximately 12 km from the Taupo International Motorsport Park, placing it in a strategic corridor for event-based accommodation, equine services, or tourism ventures.

Additional improvements include substantial three-bay shedding, a charismatic half-round barn, workshop facilities, and ample hardstand parking for 10+ vehicles, ideal for hosting clinics, retreats, corporate functions, or farm-based events. The fully fenced swimming pool area and established gardens create a resort-style setting well suited to premium farm-stay accommodation or Airbnb conversion.

Location further strengthens the investment case. The property is within easy reach of the renowned Wairakei Terraces thermal pools, family attractions such as Mind Junction, and hospitality destinations including Lava Glass Cafe. Taupō’s CBD is approximately a 10-minute drive, ensuring convenience while retaining privacy and scale.

Sustainability features, including rainwater collection and access to a farm bore easement, support operational efficiency and long-term self-sufficiency. The easy contour of the land invites grazing, boutique horticulture, equine enterprises, or diversification into tourism-based income streams.

Whether positioned as:

A premium lodge or farm-stay business

An equestrian training and agistment facility

An events or retreat venue

A land-banking investment in a high-growth corridor

Or a sophisticated lifestyle estate with multiple revenue pathways

605 State Highway 5 offers a rare combination of rural tranquility and commercial opportunity.

This is not simply country living, it is scale, infrastructure, and location aligned for growth in one of Taupō’s most strategically placed lifestyle zones.
