Magnificently remarkable - a legacy estate

Set high above the sparkling Western Bays of Lake Taupō, Lot 30 Scarlet Drive presents one of New Zealand’s most compelling lifestyle and development opportunities. Spanning approximately 5.4 hectares (more or less) of elevated, gently contoured land, this extraordinary estate commands uninterrupted panoramic views across the lake to the volcanic peaks of Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Tongariro — a landscape of rare scale and beauty that captivates in every season.

Positioned within the prestigious Kinloch enclave, just 20 kilometres from Taupō CBD, this tightly held property offers the perfect balance of privacy, luxury and future potential. At its heart sits a substantial cedar-clad four-bedroom residence, expertly designed to embrace the surrounding scenery with expansive glazing, soaring ceilings and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Warm timber finishes, sophisticated entertaining spaces and absolute tranquility create a home of understated elegance and international appeal.

Complementing the residence is an impressive independently powered stable complex spanning over approximately 300sqm, alongside additional equestrian infrastructure, horse shelters and extensive garaging and workshop facilities. While over at the home a recently enhanced 75sqm (more or less) garage addition incorporating a workshop, plant room and drying room, the estate has been thoughtfully curated for both refined rural living and practical functionality.

This is not simply a luxury lifestyle property — it is a landmark landholding with exceptional long-term value. Resource consent plans already provide for future subdivision into three large residential lots, presenting a rare large-scale development opportunity within one of Kinloch’s most desirable residential locations.

Purposefully designed for self-sufficiency and sustainability, the estate features an advanced off-grid energy system including extensive solar generation, battery storage, Starlink connectivity and backup generation capability. A heated swim jet spa pool with electric cover and submerged treadmill, spa pool, greenhouse, helicopter landing area and a future American barn-style shed site further elevate the property into a world-class private retreat tailored for modern luxury living.

Kinloch itself has become an increasingly sought-after international destination — renowned for its championship Jack Nicklaus Golf Course, world-class trout fishing, boating, hiking and relaxed lakeside lifestyle. Within easy reach of Auckland by air and positioned in the heart of New Zealand’s spectacular North Island, this property represents a unique acquisition for discerning global buyers seeking security, lifestyle and legacy.

Offered for sale at NZD $6.2 million, Lot 30 Scarlet Drive is an exceptionally rare opportunity to secure one of Kinloch’s finest elevated estates — a property of scale, sophistication and future promise seldom seen in the New Zealand market.
