208 Mapara Road, Acacia Bay, Taupo, Waikato

Set on 8,000sqm (more or less) of beautiful park-like grounds, this property is a rare and impressive offering — two fully consented homes (198sqm and 214sqm approximately.) on one title in a sought-after location just ten minutes from town. Such opportunities are seldom available, making this exceptional buying for families, investors*, or those seeking lifestyle flexibility.

Arriving via the tree-lined driveway, you’re welcomed into a haven of light and leafy tranquillity — all within easy reach of town, two boat ramps, the local store, restaurants, and cafés.

The main residence offers three generous bedrooms, including a master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, an office nook, and two spacious living areas that open onto a north-facing deck and covered portico — perfect for outdoor living and entertaining. Exposed macrocarpa beams add timeless character, while double glazing, two heat pumps, a wood burner, and solar hot water ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. Modern upgrades such as LED lighting and new electric blinds further enhance the home. The expansive grounds also include a woodshed, chicken coop, and garden shed.

Set apart for maximum privacy, the American-style barn home has been fully remodelled into a charming retreat. It boasts a brand-new kitchen with modern appliances, an updated bathroom, fresh flooring and paint, plus four bedrooms (two with Juliet balconies). A wood burner with wetback and a heat pump provide flexible heating options. Beyond the impressive barn doors lies a large recreation space, an additional bathroom, and a separate laundry. It also offers a divided storage/garage area — and to top it off, it’s being sold fully furnished, making it a fantastic turnkey opportunity.

This remarkable property truly stands out — two homes, endless possibilities, and outstanding value all on one title.
