Property details

Listing # TAUP2640 | Listed on 12 March

Set within one of most desirable lakeside pockets, this beautifully positioned Wharewaka residence captures sweeping panoramic views across Lake Taupo, offering a lifestyle defined by outlook, light and effortless connection to the water. Elevated living spaces are thoughtfully oriented toward the lake, where wide windows frame shimmering blue vistas and the kitchen and main lounge naturally become the heart of the home, a place where everyday living and entertaining unfold against the ever-changing colours of the lake.

Outdoor living is equally compelling. Flowing directly from the main living areas, a generous upper deck provides a superb vantage point for entertaining, sunset drinks or simply unwinding while taking in the panoramic outlook. Below, a second outdoor retreat sits privately behind the ground-floor living room, where a sheltered, sun-filled courtyard enjoys a peaceful garden setting, a quiet haven for morning coffee or relaxed afternoons.

Accommodation is well considered across two levels. The spacious master suite occupies the upper level, enjoying the elevated position along with its own ensuite and a sense of retreat from the rest of the home. Downstairs, two further bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom and a second living area, creating a layout that offers both connection and separation for family, guests or visiting friends.

Adding to the homes versatility, the lower living zone includes a convenient kitchen bench area and has previously been utilised as Airbnb style accommodation, an adaptable configuration that suits extended family living, guest stays or income potential.

Constructed in 2012 by Landmark Homes, the residence remains fresh in presentation with timeless tones and an easy-care design suited to both permanent living and refined lock-and-leave convenience.

The lifestyle on offer extends well beyond the home itself. An easy stroll leads to the lake edge, nearby swimming beaches and the ever-popular Lions Walk, one of the most scenic Taupo lakeside pathways. Local cafes, shops and everyday amenities are also close at hand, completing a location that continues to be one of the most sought-after suburbs.

Combining elevated lake views, dual-level living and proven versatility, this is a Wharewaka retreat that effortlessly balances lifestyle, flexibility and enduring appeal, equally suited to families, holidaymakers, investors or those seeking an elegant lakeside base.
