Nestled on the pristine shores of Lake Ōkāreka, this striking contemporary residence offers a front-row seat to nature’s finest performance. Designed and built in 2010, this 334sqm home rests on an expansive 1,094sqm lakefront section, perfectly oriented to capture sweeping water views and the ever-changing light over the hills.
From the moment the gate glides open, there’s a sense of privacy, sophistication, and calm. Clean architectural lines, native landscaping, and a natural palette of stone and timber create a warm and timeless aesthetic. Inside, the scale is impressive - expansive open-plan living areas flow seamlessly to covered outdoor entertaining zones, where the lake lies just beyond the lawn.
The heart of the home is a kitchen designed for both style and function - a generous island bench, and a commanding view over the water make entertaining effortless. Adjacent dining and living zones enjoy large picture windows and stacker doors that open wide to the alfresco deck, blending indoors and out in perfect harmony.
Accommodation is generous, with three large bedrooms and two spacious bathrooms. The primary suite is a private haven, offering a lake view that greets the morning sun and a walk-in wardrobe leading to a substantial ensuite. Guest bedrooms are positioned for comfort and privacy - ideal for extended family or weekend visitors drawn to the lake lifestyle.
For the boating enthusiast, the private beach promises easy access to the water - a rare and sought-after feature on Lake Ōkāreka. Whether an afternoon on the lake, kayaking in the calm shallows, or simply unwinding in the spa pool as dusk falls, every moment here celebrates connection - to the land, the lake, and the rhythm of relaxed living.
Practicality matches the beauty: triple-car garaging, ample off-street parking, double glazing, and thoughtful heating solutions ensure year-round comfort. Every detail has been considered, from the architectural balance of light and space to the easy-care landscaping that frames the home beautifully.
