From the street, you’d never guess what’s here. The electric gates open onto 829sqm (more or less) of private land and a home that shows you more the further in you go.

Upstairs, the outlook takes in majestic views of Lake Taupō and Mount Tauhara. It’s the kind of view people plan their mornings around. The enclosed upstairs deck lets you embrace this view whatever the weather and provides an additional space for families to spread their wings.

This is a big home, and it’s set up for family life. There are three bedrooms, plus an office that works just as well as a fourth bedroom, if required. With a bathroom on each level the layout design is very functional and there’s plenty of storage throughout. The master bedroom has a walk in wardrobe and a peaceful outlook over the grounds.

Then there’s the garden, which is the part that will surprise everyone. Walk around the back of this home and you’ll find a private garden that’s clearly been grown with care. There are plum and feijoa trees just to name a few of the sustainable features here and a pond with a tranquil water feature. A spa pool area is tucked away for relaxation looking out to the trees. Anyone with green fingers or a love for nature will love this private setting with exceptional birdlife. You don’t often find a backyard like this in Nukuhau and once you’ve stood in it, it’s hard to picture leaving.
