A rare opportunity exists to secure an exceptional combined landholding across two titles in one of Taupo's most sought-after locations. Positioned within the coveted Hilltop School Zone and just minutes from the lakefront, hospital, shops and schools, these adjoining properties offer a unique blend of architectural living, income potential and future development opportunities over approximately 2,191 sq m of land. At the heart of the offering is a remarkable 228 sq m, eco-conscious home, on 1103 sq m, thoughtfully designed and constructed by its owners some 16 years ago. Built using local stone, New Zealand cedar and timber double glazing throughout, solar power, the home was well ahead of its time in both design and sustainability. Underfloor central heating, natural materials and subtle Asian influences create a warm and inviting environment that feels both sophisticated and connected to nature. The home enjoys views of Lake Taupo, Mount Tauhara and Mount Ruapehu, with flexible accommodation including a self-contained guest suite, sheltered courtyard, stunning double-height sunroom, lift access to all levels and beautifully integrated indoor-outdoor living spaces. Complementing this unique residence is the neighbouring property, 240 sq m on 1,088 sq m, a two-level three-bedroom home with a separate self-contained flat. While providing immediate accommodation, rental or extended family options, the true value of this site lies in the future opportunities it presents. The substantial section, combined with the adjoining eco-home property, creates a significant landholding rarely available in such a tightly held location. Whether you are seeking a private family compound, multi-generational living arrangement, land-bank investment or exploring future redevelopment potential, this is an opportunity that invites vision and rewards imagination. Buy the eco-home for what it is today. Buy the second title for what it could become tomorrow. TENDER: Closes 12.30pm Thursday 24 September 2026, NZSIR Taupo Office (unless sold prior)
