Beyond The Ordinary – Rainbow Point Lakefront

From the private lane, the minimalist street frontage reveals little of what lies beyond. Step inside and a stunning atrium creates an impressive sense of arrival, drawing you through to an extraordinary panorama across Lake Taupo to Acacia Bay, Taupo township and the mountains beyond. It is a remarkable introduction to a home of exceptional quality and scale, where the understated exterior gives way to a level of luxury and architectural sophistication.

Properties of this calibre are exceptionally rare in Taupo. Set above Three Mile Bay in a private lane within tightly held Rainbow Point, this exceptional north-facing residence occupies one of the lakefront’s most coveted positions. Here, privacy, breathtaking outlooks and outstanding design come together in a setting that is both distinctive and increasingly difficult to replicate.

Architecturally designed by Kelvin Peck, the home has been created around its remarkable setting. Expansive glazing and multiple living spaces draw the lake into everyday life, while two distinct sheltered courtyards extend the living outdoors. One, complete with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace, provides an inviting all-season entertaining space, while the second creates a more private retreat adjoining the guest bedroom wing.

At the heart of the home, a sleek Italian-designed kitchen anchors the open-plan dining and living spaces, opening through stacking sliders to the courtyard. Oak flooring, bespoke cabinetry, feature fireplaces inside and out, underfloor heating and premium finishes speak to the quality and craftsmanship throughout.

The substantial master suite is privately positioned and features an award-winning designer bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and courtyard access. In their own separate wing, two further double bedrooms enjoy direct access to the second sheltered courtyard and are complemented by beautifully appointed tiled bathrooms. A separate self-contained studio with kitchen, bathroom and four bunks provides superb additional accommodation for family and guests.

A large second lounge, two laundries, double garaging and generous off-street parking complete a home designed equally well for permanent living, entertaining or an exceptional Taupo retreat.

Combining an irreplaceable lakefront position, architectural excellence and a level of luxury seldom found in the local market, this remarkable residence represents an opportunity to secure something truly distinctive within one of Taupo’s most prestigious and tightly held enclaves.
