300m To The Lake, Nothing To Do But Enjoy It

Some homes simply feel right the moment you arrive. Set about 300 metres from the edge of Lake Taupo, in one of Wharewaka’s most sought-after lakeside pockets, this 2021 Lockwood built by de Roo Construction presents as brand new and offers a lifestyle that is hard to find without paying lakefront prices.

The Shale Grey exterior, Ebony roof and black joinery give a crisp, contemporary street presence. Step inside and you’ll discover a Lockwood unlike any you’ve seen before. Blonded timbers create a light, modern Scandinavian feel, with all the warmth the brand is renowned for and none of the dated tones.

The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is the heart of the home. Raked ceilings, skylights and full-height north-facing glazing fill the space with light and sun, while a modern freestanding fire and air conditioning units keeps it cosy through the Taupo winter. The kitchen is finished with stone benchtops, quality appliances and a walk-in pantry, and the living area flows effortlessly out to generous decking, perfect for summer entertaining.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a true retreat, complete with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, alongside a mezzanine with frameless glass balustrade that works beautifully as a second lounge or study. Downstairs you’ll find two further bedrooms, a family bathroom with separate bath and shower, and a generous laundry. It’s a layout that works equally well for couples, families or hosting visiting guests.

Outside, the fully fenced section is framed by superb established trees that bring tui into the garden every day, something no new subdivision can offer. A consented sealed driveway leads to separate garaging, with plenty of room to park the boat or motor-home.

Stroll to the lake for a morning swim, launch the boat or cast a line, then come home to a house that asks nothing of you but to enjoy it.

Viewings are by appointment. Contact Mike Hughes to arrange your private inspection.
