Hilltop, Central North Island
Resort-style living at its best awaits the next owner of this stunning 323sqm (more or less) home.
For sale Asking Price $2,700,000
This residence boasts fresh paint, new flooring throughout, fully tiled luxury bathrooms, and a brand-new kitchen. With the glistening blue of Lake Taupo as your backdrop, this is a home that embraces high-end entertaining. Large windows frame sweeping vistas stretching from Acacia Bay across to the township and the majestic, snow-capped mountains beyond.
The expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas form the social heart of the home, all positioned to maximise the spectacular lake views. Designed for the family chef, the high-spec kitchen features polished Pacific Quartz benchtops, a massive central island, dual Westinghouse ovens, dual dishwashers, and storage galore. A secret scullery-complete with a second oven and dishwasher to effortlessly hide the prep mess-flows directly into a separate, functional laundry room.
The home
Step outside to a private sanctuary built for every occasion. Enjoy cocktails by the thermally heated pool, cook up a feast in the wood-fired pizza oven, cozy up by the open wood fire, or share a romantic glass of bubbles as the sun sets over the peaks. Directly connected to the outdoor entertainment area is a versatile second living room that can be closed off, making it the perfect spot to put on a vinyl record and wind down after a night of fun.
An internal elevator smoothly connects to the main living level of the home. Guests enjoy their own separate powder room alongside a generous guest suite with panoramic views and a fully tiled ensuite.
The upper level feels like sitting in the clouds, looking straight out to acres of blue. Here, the grand master suite offers a bespoke Melteca Oak dressing room and a fully tiled luxury ensuite with dual sinks. An adjoining bedroom on this level works brilliantly as a nursery or home office. On the ground floor, an additional guest room provides a flexible space for hobbies, a gym, or a quiet retreat.
Practicality matches the elegance with exceptional vehicle and equipment storage. Beyond the large internal-access garage, you will find an additional fully lined and insulated single garage, a high-stud carport ideal for a boat, and purpose-built tool sheds with a dedicated workshop station. The surrounding grounds are planted for privacy and kept low-maintenance so you can spend your weekends relaxing.
