Perched gracefully on 2.7596 hectares (more or less), with expansive views across Lake Taupō and the volcanic plateau, The House of Florence is a home that radiates warmth, creativity, and timeless charm.

Lovingly held by one family for over 25 years, this architecturally designed residence has been the backdrop to countless gatherings, laughter-filled evenings and summer afternoons on the deck. Built to be lived in and shared, it’s an entertainer’s haven through and through.

Inside, the home is filled with natural light, earthy textures, and handcrafted detail. Native Rimu floors and ceilings, exposed beams, and warm timber accents create an inviting atmosphere that feels both refined and relaxed. At its heart is a rustic country-style kitchen - the kind of place everyone naturally gathers, flowing easily into the dining area and out to the deck for effortless indoor-outdoor living.

Two distinct living spaces offer versatility and comfort. The sunken “winter room,” with its native timber ceilings and floors, open fireplace, and heat pump, provides a cosy centrepiece for the cooler months. The second lounge offers a peaceful retreat, featuring plush carpet, skylights, a Metro wood burner, and a second heat pump for year-round comfort.

Accommodation includes four spacious bedrooms, with the master suite enjoying an ensuite and private outlook, while another guest room also features an ensuite and remarkable views. A large laundry, main bathroom, internal courtyard, and internal-access double garage ensure both practicality and ease of living.

Beyond the home, the property unfolds into beautifully established gardens framed by mature trees, hydrangeas, agapanthus, and lush natives lining the driveway. A full-size tennis court adds a touch of country luxury, while two charming Wendy houses, create spaces for play or practicality.

The barn, complete with concrete flooring, power, and a fireplace, adds further versatility. Once home to candle-making and floral workshops, it offers a creative or functional space with endless potential. A paved lean-to with two corrals provides additional storage or room for horses as well as four large paddocks with a flat area perfect for equestrian lifestyle opportunities.

The House of Florence is more than a home, it’s a place filled with warmth, history, and character. It’s where architecture intertwines with lifestyle. Whether gathered around the fireplace or enjoying a glass of wine on the deck watching the sun set behind the hills, this is a property that truly feels alive.
