There is something truly special about a classic Kiwi bach, where life slows down, shoes are optional and the best days are spent on the water. Nestled along the peaceful shores of Lake Rotoiti, 1569 State Highway 30 is a place to escape the everyday, embrace the simple pleasures of lakeside living and create memories that will be treasured for generations.
Set on a generous 1,012sqm (more or less) of north-facing, freehold lakefront land, this much-loved retreat enjoys a beautiful sunny aspect, established native surroundings and the rare privilege of having the lake quite literally at the doorstep.
Brimming with character and nostalgic charm, the bach offers three bedrooms plus a delightful sunroom, providing a welcoming haven for family and friends. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, with a cosy wood burner for cooler evenings and an easy connection to the outdoors, where sunshine, fresh air and relaxed entertaining take centre stage.
A sun-drenched deck invites leisurely breakfasts, long summer lunches and evenings spent sharing stories over a glass of wine. Beneath the canopy of a magnificent feature tree, a secluded outdoor retreat offers another inviting space to relax, while established native plantings create a wonderful sense of privacy and connection with nature.
A picturesque pathway winds gently through the trees to the water's edge, revealing one of the property's most captivating features – a private sandy beach and jetty, where endless summer adventures await. Swimming, kayaking, fishing and boating become part of everyday life, while the lakeside sundeck offers a front-row seat to the ever-changing beauty of Lake Rotoiti.
Adding to the authentic bach appeal is a charming vintage boatshed, perfectly positioned near the shoreline and ideal for storing kayaks, paddleboards, jet skis and all the essentials for lakeside adventures. Best of all, the ability to launch a boat directly from the property is a highly desirable feature, making spontaneous days on the water wonderfully easy.
From early morning swims and sun-filled afternoons to evenings gathered around the outdoor fire, this is a place where the pace is unhurried, the atmosphere is relaxed and the simple things in life become the most memorable.
Authentic, inviting and wonderfully positioned on the shores of Lake Rotoiti, this is more than a bach – it's a treasured Kiwi lifestyle, offering the freedom to unwind, reconnect and enjoy everything that makes lakefront living so special.
An increasingly rare opportunity to secure a genuine lakefront escape, where the traditions of summers past can continue for generations to come.
