Apartment Taupō (New Zealand)

Welcome to what is arguably Lake Taupo’s finest position. Situated at Acacia Bay, known for its friendly, quiet and safe community; with a local dairy, restaurant and bar; and Taupo township only minutes down the road. It’s the position of this property that truly sets it apart. Adjacent to, but elevated above the lake’s edge, this home occupies what is arguably the very best location anywhere around Lake Taupo. Positioned in the most sheltered spot imaginable, with all day sun; making it the warmest spot in Taupo. To add to the serenity, there is no road noise and no close neighbours. Below, a sheltered bay unfolds, a scene so picturesque can have you imagine you're at the Bay of Islands. A bonus is the nearby boat ramp, recognised as the most sheltered anywhere. With excellent fishing right at your doorstep. Add to that a popular swimming beach and diving pontoon, and you have the ultimate lakeside lifestyle. From this elevated vantage point, the views are breathtaking. By day, expansive lake vistas stretch across the horizon. By night, the lights of Taupo sparkle across the water, with the bush-clad slopes of Mount Tauhara providing a dramatic natural backdrop. The home itself is substantial and very soundly built, offering approximately 440 square metres of living and garaging, with workshop and storage room. Inside, you’ll find expansive open-plan kitchen and living areas, a separate dining room, billiard room, and a character-filled English-style pub bar. Five generous bedrooms each feature their own ensuite, including two with luxurious spa baths, and the home comfortably accommodates up to fifteen guests without the need for bunks – making it ideal for large families, holiday living or premium hosting. Outdoors, the entertaining continues with a dedicated area complete with a professional fish smoker, pizza oven and barbecue. Set at the top of a private driveway and secured behind automated gates, this remarkable property offers privacy and prestige. This is more than a home. It's an unparalleled location. Note: The current Rateable Valuation is $1.87 million. For context, the property sold twenty-two years ago for $1.7 million, before a later private sale occurred at $610,000 less — a transaction that has since adversely influenced the QV assessment. Meaning it's seriously undervalued. And when taking into account the fact that recent house sales are generally at a lower price than their Rateable Value, this could make this particular property the buy of the century. NOTE: The CV quoted on this property is valid from 1 July 2026

Few addresses in Taupo carry the same recognition and enduring appeal as Lake Terrace. Positioned directly opposite the shoreline of Lake Taupo, this substantial residence occupies a tightly held stretch where premium homes are rarely released. Just minutes from the town centre, dining, and lakefront recreation, the location is not simply convenient, it is iconic, attracting permanent residents, holiday homeowners, and luxury buyers from across New Zealand and beyond. Purposefully designed to maximise its breathtaking outlook, the home captures uninterrupted views across Lake Taupo to Mount Ruapehu and the peaks of Tongariro National Park, with sweeping sightlines extending toward Two Mile Bay and Acacia Bay. Expansive glazing frames the panorama, delivering ever-changing scenery from crisp alpine mornings to golden evening reflections, creating a daily sense of occasion that few properties can offer. Spanning approximately 541 sq m across three levels, the residence sits within an exclusive category of Taupo homes defined by scale, quality, and thoughtful design. Lift access connects each level, while multiple living zones, four well-appointed bedrooms, and beautifully tiled, heated bathrooms provide both comfort and functionality. Premium finishes, bespoke cabinetry, feature fireplace detailing, underfloor heating, integrated security, and extensive garaging reflect a level of craftsmanship and investment that would be difficult to replicate in today’s construction environment. Designed for both relaxed living and impressive entertaining, the home delivers exceptional lifestyle appeal. Six-car garaging, EV capability, boat or camper parking, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow cater perfectly to the Taupo lifestyle. With the lake directly across the road, boating, swimming, and lakeside walks become part of everyday living rather than occasional leisure. Access to well-regarded Taupo schooling further strengthens the property’s appeal for families and relocating professionals seeking a premium yet practical residence in a world-class location. Substantial modern homes of this calibre along Lake Terrace are tightly held and rarely traded. The combination of freehold land, exceptional construction quality, and irreplaceable lake and mountain views underpins strong long-term value and enduring market demand. In every sense, this is a rare offering, a remarkable convergence of scale, engineering, outlook, and location in one of Taupo’s most prestigious lakefront addresses. Important: This property may be marketed as suitable for overseas purchasers. However, this does not constitute confirmation of eligibility, approval, or suitability for any individual buyer. All overseas purchasers remain subject to New Zealand’s overseas investment laws, including the Overseas Investment Act 2005, and may require consent from the Overseas Investment Office.

Positioned in the popular Wharewaka area, this well-designed modern home offers a fantastic balance of style, comfort, and functionality, all just moments from the lake. Thoughtfully planned out for family living, the home has been designed to make everyday life easy while still offering quality finishes and inviting spaces to relax and entertain.

A well appointed family bathroom includes a large bath and separate shower, ideal for families and guests alike. At the centre of the home is a striking modern kitchen finished in black with warm oak detailing, complemented by a scullery and expansive open-plan living and dining spaces. Two large slider doors open seamlessly out to the deck, creating excellent indoor-outdoor flow and making entertaining effortless. The separate lounge sits alongside the kitchen and dining area while still feeling connected, divided by a stunning cedar feature wall that has been pre-wired for a gas fire should the new owner wish to add one in the future. Large picture windows frame a lake view and allow natural light to pour in, while double glazing and a heat pump ensure year-round comfort. Additional features include a carpeted double garage with integrated laundry, quality modern finishes throughout, and excellent storage. Positioned close to the Kokomea Shopping Centre, you will enjoy easy access to a supermarket, retail stores, gym, spa, and other everyday conveniences, all while being just moments from the lake and surrounding walkways.
