8 Kurapoto Lane, Rainbow Point, Taupo, Waikato

Set in the exclusive Kurapoto Lane, this modern home features a dark stained cedar and black colorsteel exterior and sits on a well-established, partially fenced 1,216sqm (more or less) section. The landscaped gardens and secure setting create a sense of privacy and space.

Inside, the home is light and well laid out, with high-stud ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. The master bedroom is positioned to the right of the entry and includes an ensuite, walk in wardrobe, access to the rear patio, and views of the lake that flow through from the main living space. On the opposite side are two bedrooms, a family bathroom, concealed laundry, external access to the tool shed, and internal access to the double garage. A fourth bedroom and third bathroom further along the hallway provide a practical option for guests.

The elevated open-plan living, dining, and kitchen atelier area captures lake and mountain views through full height glass sliders spanning the front of the home. The brand-new kitchen is functional and well designed, while the dining area opens directly to the front deck, creating excellent indoor-outdoor flow and a generous entertaining space. A separate lounge is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of family.

A centrally located rear patio offers a closed in outdoor area, ideal for use year-round. The gardens are neatly maintained, with a front walkway leading down toward the lake.

With wide-ranging views over Lake Taupo, Acacia Bay, and Mount Ruapehu, this property offers a well balanced combination of outlook, layout, and location.
