These two character villas have been renovated into one impressive five bedroom home, combining enduring heritage with the ease of contemporary living. Set on 1.6482ha (more or less) of established, beautifully tended grounds just minutes from central Taupō, this is a rare kind of property offers— twice the character, and none of the compromise.

Through the leadlight front door, the villa's heritage is immediate — broad hallway, high ceilings, period detailing remains intact. Two bedrooms sit at the front, next to a fully renovated family bathroom with timber flooring, a deep bath, and a walk-in tiled shower.
A media room doubles as an intimate formal lounge, opening onto a wraparound veranda edged by roses and established gardens. French doors connect the kitchen, family and dining hub to an expansive entertaining deck, where manicured lawns roll out to open countryside.
These spaces are warmed by a substantial woodfire with wetback, the relaxation corner or study nook leads through into the second villa, which contains the master bedroom, additional bathroom and two further bedrooms.
This is a property built for people who want space without sacrifice — room for family, for hobbies, for the odd big weekend when the Motorsport Park brings the crowds to town. Heritage character, modern comfort, and genuine rural freedom, all within easy reach of Taupō.
Some places you inspect; this one you'll want to move into.
