There are views that impress, and then there are views that stop you in your tracks. From this remarkable home, Lake Taupo and the mountains beyond unfold in a vast panoramic outlook that is quite simply extraordinary. Elevated, expansive and ever changing, it is only when you stand within the home that the true scale and beauty of this setting can be fully appreciated. With the vendors already committed to their next project, the opportunity is now firmly here for a new owner to make this exceptional property their own. Tucked away within an exclusive enclave on a private road shared by only a handful of local families, the home enjoys an enviable sense of peace and seclusion. Its elevated position has been cleverly chosen to maximise the outlook while providing natural shelter from the wind, with expansive picture windows framing the lake and mountains from throughout the home. Morning light, changing weather and spectacular sunsets ensure the view is never quite the same twice. The residence itself has been crafted with imagination, quality and exceptional attention to detail. Soaring high stud ceilings create an immediate sense of scale, while rich timber feature walls and ceilings introduce warmth and character. Five incredibly spacious bedrooms and a substantial office continue that sense of scale, with everyone enjoying sweeping views across Lake Taupo and the mountains beyond. Multiple living spaces provide flexibility for family life and entertaining, including a dedicated media room, separate family lounge and a light filled conservatory style retreat overlooking the landscape beyond. The expansive open plan kitchen, dining and entertaining area provides a natural gathering place for family and friends, with excellent storage, quality finishes and a layout designed to make entertaining effortless. Beautifully appointed bathrooms, including an impressive ensuite, continue the sense of quality, while architectural detail and thoughtful functionality are evident throughout. Striking mono pitch rooflines and Bondor Panel fire resistant cladding give the home a distinctive contemporary presence, complemented by full recirculating heat pump underfloor heating for year round warmth and comfort. Beyond the home, 1.07 hectares of fully fenced land provides space and flexibility rarely found alongside a residence of this calibre. Divided into two paddocks, there is room for animals, a pony for the children, or simply the freedom to enjoy the open space. Triple car garaging accommodates vehicles, the boat and recreational equipment with ease. The scale and versatility of the property may also appeal to those considering luxury accommodation or an exclusive retreat, subject to any necessary consents. This is a property where the setting is every bit as exceptional as the home itself. With the vendors committed elsewhere, those who have been searching for something genuinely distinctive are encouraged to view. Stand inside, take in the panorama across Lake Taupo and the mountains beyond, and you will understand what makes this property so difficult to replicate. *Boundary lines are indicative only.
