Perched above the lake with views across the water, gully and surrounding bush, this two-storey Taupō holiday home was designed for one thing: bringing people together. With five bedrooms and two lounges, there’s room for extended family and friends to settle in and stay a while. A spacious garage is designed to accommodate boats, jet skis and all the gear that comes with serious lake adventures. With extensive cabinetry, it functions as more than just storage — it’s an extension of the home and the lifestyle it supports. Upstairs the home opens into a vast open-plan living zone with a designer kitchen and a separate dedicated bar crafted in timber veneer joinery, bringing depth to a colour palette of clean whites, greens and bronzes that reflect the surrounding landscape.

An expansive main suite shares this upper level. Oversized feature windows rise dramatically through the stairwell and living areas, extending into the primary suite, intentionally positioned to capture sweeping views. A glass balustrade to the staircase ensures these views remain open and allows light to flood both levels. Performance and comfort are prioritised with double glazing and low-e aluminium joinery enhancing thermal efficiency. Sustainability has been embedded into the 334sqm home and intelligent technology cleverly enhances comfort, security and lake lifestyle, without overcomplicating it.
