Set across 25 acres of rolling, park-like surroundings, Hare’s Rest is a truly exceptional and unique property. Totally off-grid, the architecturally designed three bedroom home is thoughtfully arranged around a stunning natural pool and reed bed, creating a seamless connection with the landscape. Please disregard the current RV for this property, as it fails to capture the exceptional value, quality, and opportunity on offer here.

The rich history of Hare’s Rest starts at the entrance as the driveway follows the old bush railway, built in the 1930s. Glorious gardens with mature, exotic trees and natives create superb views and absolute privacy around this exceptional home. A mini vineyard, truffiere and farmland for grazing a few sheep lend a delightful rural feel to Hare’s Rest. All this is just fifteen minutes from Taupo and a myriad amenities and attractions.

From the living area there is a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow to an expansive deck which has access to the natural pool. Good-sized bedrooms enjoy their own outdoor spaces, with the master having a deck which also leads into the pool.

Designed to maximise the low winter sun, this high-spec home offers multiple, well-considered heating solutions for year-round comfort. Warmth is delivered via water radiators powered by a wood-fired boiler, while burnished concrete floors provide natural thermal mass, retaining heat efficiently throughout. An open fire in the living area provides ambiance or for the odd unseasonal cold snap.

Additional accommodation is provided by the charming architecturally designed self contained studio, along with a further guest sleep out known as The Walnut. A wine cellar built into the hillside is just one of many thoughtfully integrated external features.

With a variety of living areas, Hare’s Rest is ideally suited to multi-generational living. An exciting option could be to continue with the current successful self-catering bed and breakfast business and combine a home and business.

Rare, private, and beautifully considered, Hare’s Rest presents a remarkable opportunity for discerning buyers. Contact Sacha or Penny without delay.
