Un Santuario In Riva Al Lago, Creato Per Generazioni

Tucked amongst established native trees on the shores of Lake Rotoiti, 169 Tumoana Road is a place where privacy, space and the beauty of the lake come together. With a sheltered beach just steps away, beautiful views across the water and a wonderful sense of seclusion, this substantial lakeside home offers an enviable setting for family life, holidays and making memories that last for generations.

Originally built as a classic Lockwood home and thoughtfully extended in 2003, with architectural design by Graham Sawell and construction by Glencoe Construction, the residence beautifully balances the warmth and character of its origins with generous, versatile living spaces. Distinctive macrocarpa timber cladding complements the natural surroundings, while the considered layout offers ample room for family and friends to come together, or retreat to a quiet corner of their own.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area takes full advantage of the lake outlook. Bi-fold doors open onto an expansive wrap-around deck, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. Whether it’s a leisurely breakfast overlooking the water, long summer lunches or evenings spent watching the changing light across the lake, this is a space designed to embrace its setting. The kitchen is both practical and inviting, with newly installed engineered-stone benchtops and updated flooring.
A light-filled, fully enclosed conservatory offers another inviting place to relax, complete with its own entrance and newly completed decking and balustrades. It’s a lovely spot to settle in with a book or simply take in the peaceful surroundings.

The main bedroom enjoys its own connection to the outdoors, with direct access to the deck, a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. A further double bedroom and guest toilet complete this part of the main level.

The original Lockwood wing adds another dimension to the home, with a second lounge featuring the warmth of a Kent fireplace and space for a study nook or home office. Opening directly to the deck, this inviting living area is complemented by two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet, creating excellent flexibility for extended family, visiting guests or as a potential income stream.

Downstairs, the accommodation continues with another double bedroom, bathroom and a generous multipurpose room that could serve as additional sleeping accommodation, a rumpus room or a substantial home office. With excellent storage and bi-fold doors opening to an outdoor area and spa, this level provides even more options for relaxed lakeside living.

Two heat pumps, a Kent fireplace and solar water heating contribute to year-round comfort, while an internal-access double garage, separate laundry and garden shed add everyday practicality.

Yet it is the setting that truly makes this property special. Surrounded by established greenery, with direct access to a safe, sheltered beach, riparian rights and a one-third share in the lake jetty, the connection to Lake Rotoiti is exceptional. Days can be spent swimming, boating or exploring the lake, before returning home to the privacy of your own lakeside haven.

Generous in scale, rich in character and beautifully connected to its surroundings, 169 Tumoana Road offers the space to bring generations together and the freedom to enjoy everything that makes life on Lake Rotoiti so special.

A place to gather, unwind and create a lifetime of lakeside memories.
