Hilltop elegance - lake views - guest accommodation

On entering this beautifully presented 250sqm (more or less) home, you are instantly welcomed by warmth, style and an unmistakable sense of quality. The striking foyer sets the tone, where a roaring fire becomes both a stunning focal point and a clever design feature — efficiently assisting the heating of the lower level while allowing warmth to drift naturally upstairs. Full double glazing throughout enhances the home’s energy efficiency and year round comfort, while new flooring, fresh paint and rich marble tiles create an earthy sophistication that flows throughout the home.

The ground floor is dedicated to accommodation and versatility. Off the generous foyer are two spacious bedrooms, one of which is currently serving as an office, followed by an impressive guest retreat that has been successfully utilised for short term holiday stays. This private suite can be completely closed off from the main residence and accessed via its own outdoor entertaining area, offering visitors a luxurious sense of independence. Complete with a large living space, heat pump, stylish window furnishings and an adjoining bedroom and bathroom, it’s a comfortable and flexible haven for family or guests alike.

A wide staircase invites you to the upper level, where the home opens into expansive living areas bathed in natural light and framed by outstanding Hilltop views. The contemporary kitchen, finished in crisp white with a gas hob, wall oven and double sink, connects seamlessly with the dining and casual living area. Here, the chef is treated to stunning lake vistas and sparkling town lights by night. A glazed corner window seat provides the perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. While a heat pump provides convenience, the clever flue from the downstairs fire ensures this level remains cosy year round.

The upper floor also features two additional bedrooms, including a grand master suite with a walk in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite. A powder room adds guest convenience. One of the home’s most remarkable features is the enclosed deck — an all season entertaining space boasting large sliding windows and an electric louvre roof. Enjoy alfresco dining while admiring the panoramic outlook across the lake to the western bays, accessible from both the main lounge and master bedroom and guest bedroom. A smaller balcony off the casual living area offers yet another spot to enjoy Taupo’s breathtaking sunsets.

Outside, the property continues to impress. At the rear, beautifully landscaped gardens lead through a cobbled path and a thriving orchard with cherries, plums, figs, nectarines, peaches, pears, mandarins, lemons and berry bushes, culminating in a tranquil gazebo — the perfect setting for quiet reflection or gatherings with friends.

Practicality is equally well considered, with ample off street parking, a single garage beneath the main roofline and a separate boat garage with adjoining workshops.

Located mere metres from the lake’s edge and just minutes from Taupo’s CBD, this exceptional Hilltop home offers convenience, lifestyle, and luxury in perfect harmony. Hilltop shops — including the popular Mole & Chicken restaurant — are a short stroll away, with quality schooling at Hilltop School, Taupo Intermediate and Tauhara College all within easy walking distance.
