The Lake Taupo Lifestyle People Dream About

There are lakefront homes, and then there are a handful that truly live on the water. This is one of them.

Set right on the edge of Lake Taupo with direct lake access, this much-loved bach captures the essence of classic Kiwi holidays: boats at the ready, barefoot kids on the lawn, long lunches on the deck and sunsets that stop you mid-conversation. Launch the boat straight from your own property, wander down for a swim, or simply sit back and watch the lake change mood by the hour.

The open plan living areas open out to the water, drawing in the ever-shifting scenery and those famous Taupo sunsets. The main living space flows seamlessly to lakefront decking, creating front-row seats to one of the best views on the lake.

The main house offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, two with lake views , where waking up to water has a way of slowing life down. For the extended family or holiday overflow, there’s a separate sleepout with double bunks, plus a one-bedroom waterfront studio, a magical spot to fall asleep to the gentle lap of waves.

Outdoor living is well catered for, with decks both front and rear to chase the sun throughout the day. A boat garage with direct access to a private boat ramp is a rare and valuable asset, complemented by generous off-street parking for vehicles, boats and guests.

For keen anglers, the Waitahanui River, one of the region’s most renowned trout fisheries, is just a short stroll away. World-class fishing, direct lake access, and your own boat shed and ramp, this is the Taupo lifestyle people dream about.

Whether as a cherished family bach or a laid-back lakefront retreat, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly scarce. This is your chance to secure a genuine slice of Lake Taupo magic.
