“A place to arrive and never rush back from”

A statement lodge. A private world. Direct lake-edge access. This is a property that plays by different rules.

Set across approximately 4.8 hectares of peaceful rural land in Ararata, this rare holding delivers a substantial lodge-style residence immersed in nature, with direct access to the lake and a sense of separation from the everyday.

From arrival, space takes over. The land opens, the pace slows, and it becomes clear this is more than a home. Designed for gathering, retreating, hosting, or simply living well, the scale here is something few lifestyle properties can match.

The main lodge spans approximately 480sqm, offering four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with expansive living zones that allow flexibility and comfort without compromise. Solid and purpose-built, the architecture provides strong bones, generous proportions, and a layout that balances connection and privacy, ready to be enjoyed as is or reimagined over time.

Outside, open land and rural outlooks surround the home, while the lake becomes part of daily life, from quiet walks to the water’s edge to kayaking or moments of reflection. The land offers freedom to landscape, graze, or simply preserve the privacy that defines properties of this calibre.

This is not a standard lifestyle block. Its scale, improvements, and lake access create genuine future potential, whether as a destination home, private lodge, wellness retreat, or creative sanctuary. The value lies not only in what it is today, but in what it can become.

505 Aorere Road is for those who value space as opportunity, privacy as luxury, and lakeside living as the ultimate privilege. If you’ve been waiting for something truly different, this is it.
