Description
Discover your private paradise on just over 6 hectares, lovingly nurtured by one owner for more than 30 years into a self-sufficient haven. Wander through thriving fruit trees, raised vegetable gardens, and tree-studded forest alive with bird song.
Multiple trails meander through the land, ideal for horses, bikes, or family adventures, with a cool gully ready for exploration. Approx. 300 Cypress trees promise future returns, while two flat areas offer hay-cutting or the perfect site for your dream homestead, with views to Mt Tauhara. Hidden completely from the road, this is your own secret garden.
The cottage, unconsented yet utterly charming, is as cute as a button. Handcrafted from solid Macrocarpa with unique features including stone steps, it is sun-soaked, welcoming, and set among leafy surrounds. Wake to brilliant birdlife, enjoy morning coffee on the deck, and embrace the off-grid lifestyle. With a wet-back coal range, gas cooking, 25,000L rainwater tank, and cozy interiors, it’s an ideal retreat for families, holiday escapes, or a base while you build.
Perfectly located just 10 minutes from Taupo’s CBD, on the bus route for sought-after Wairakei School, and only moments from world-class mountain biking at Craters of the Moon, Wairakei Golf Course, and the National Equestrian Centre.
This property is a rare opportunity for self-sufficiency enthusiasts, lifestyle seekers, and visionaries alike. Too many features to list—viewings are strictly by appointment only so call Kim today and experience it for yourself.
