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.
