Positioned within an exclusive gated community on sought after Highland Drive, this exceptional residence combines timeless brick and tile construction with outstanding design, generous proportions and breathtaking views across Lake Taupō to the mountains of Tongariro National Park.
Completed approximately two years ago, the impressive 415sqm (more or less) home occupies an elevated 1,632sqm (more or less) freehold site, offering privacy, security and a lifestyle that is as practical as it is luxurious.
One of the home's greatest strengths is its thoughtfully designed floor plan, effectively creating two homes under one roof. The main residence occupies the ground floor, while an entirely self contained guest retreat on the upper level provides superb accommodation for extended family, visiting guests or independent living.
The main accommodation wing features four generous bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms, including a luxurious master suite complete with a fully tiled ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and the unique convenience of direct access to a single internal garage - ideal for use as a private gym or hobby space. Two additional bedrooms also open directly onto sun soaked decks, while the family bathroom offers attractive tiling and a relaxing spa bath. A separate toilet, dedicated laundry and excellent storage further enhance everyday functionality. Designed for effortless entertaining, the expansive open plan living area enjoys an abundance of natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. At its heart is a designer kitchen featuring a central island, quality appliances and a generous walk-in scullery. The adjoining dining and family living spaces connect effortlessly to a separate formal lounge, with stacking sliders opening onto expansive hardwood decks that perfectly frame the stunning lake and mountain outlook. A versatile additional room adjoining the main foyer provides flexibility as a home office, media room or an extension of the guest accommodation, depending on your family's needs.
A welcoming entrance foyer creates an impressive first impression, where either the elegant staircase or the convenience of an internal elevator leads to the upper level. Here, guests are treated to their own beautifully appointed retreat comprising two spacious bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen facilities, comfortable living spaces and a covered elevated deck where the panoramic views truly come to life.
The home is complemented by extensive garaging, including a double internal access garage, the separate single garage adjoining the master suite, plus an additional single garage ideal for gardening equipment or extra storage.
Every detail has been considered to maximise comfort and ease of living, with premium features including a ducted heat pump system with remote phone control, double glazing, a wood burner, irrigation system and an additional garden shed.
Surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, this low maintenance residence offers a rare opportunity to secure a substantial family home that effortlessly caters for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or simply enjoying one of Taupō's most desirable addresses.
Luxury, flexibility and spectacular scenery combine here to create an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
