21 Brunette Drive, Acacia Bay, Taupo, Waikato

Some places have a way of making you pause, take a deep breath, and truly appreciate your surroundings. This stunning Acacia Bay home is one of them. From the moment you arrive, the views stretch out before you – Mount Tauhara standing tall in the distance, the deep blue of Lake Taupo shimmering under the sun, and the rolling Kaimanawa Ranges creating a breathtaking backdrop.

Inside, and the sense of space and tranquillity continues. Designed to embrace its surroundings, the main floor is a seamless blend of light, openness, and warmth. Large windows frame the ever-changing landscape, while polished timber floors add a touch of timeless charm. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and two separate living areas offer the perfect balance of connection and quiet, with nothing but the view for company.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress. Three generously sized bedrooms, a new bathroom and a private office provide sanctuary-like retreats, each offering a peaceful outlook. Skylights flood the space with soft, natural light, enhancing the already airy and inviting atmosphere.

When the seasons change, the home offers the crackle of the grand open fireplace and the warmth of the wood burner for cosy nights in. In summer, the manicured gardens and expansive outdoor spaces invite long afternoons spent soaking in the fresh air and unbeatable views.

Practicality hasn’t been overlooked either. A spacious three-car garage offers ample storage, while a high-stud bay with a 9m (approximate) setback provides the perfect space for boat storage, along with a garden shed and additional storage areas ensure there’s a place for everything.

Built in 1993 (approximately) and set on 5,300sqm (more or less) of land, this lodge-style retreat is more than just a home – it’s a lifestyle. A place where family and nature come together in perfect harmony. A place where every day feels like an escape.
