976 Mapara Road, Kinloch, Taupo, Waikato

This large family home sits proudly on 4.0027 hectares (more or less) of land and situated only halfway between Taupo town and Kinloch so you can have the best of both worlds - even closer is the beautiful Whakiapo Bay for all things recreational.

Originally constructed in the 1980s, this home has undergone substantial improvements and refurbishment in more recent times. Spread over three generous levels there is a lift for easy access between two floors and wheelchair accessibility. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge areas have high ceilings giving a feeling of spaciousness, while the well positioned windows and decking from these spaces compliment the views out to Lake Taupo, the mountains and the rural landscape.

Partially double glazed and with four heat pumps this home has a welcoming, homestead feeling. This well-thought-out layout lends itself perfectly for intergenerational family living, or for those larger families needing room to grow, with a bathroom on each level for practicality and the top-level fifth room with a partition giving a second lounge area or maybe a sixth bedroom option.

The majority of the land is reasonably flat and would be an attractive proposition for equestrian activities while the three-bay garage with an additional carport provides security for all the toys and farming equipment.

With the new district plan under review, this property may offer the opportunity for further development (subject to council approval) if you are looking for a property with future proofing in mind.
