45 Ingle Avenue, Waipahihi, Taupo, Waikato

Set amongst established native bush, this elevated Waipahihi residence offers privacy, scale, and enduring character. Hidden from the road and positioned on 1,897sqm (more or less) bordering a reserve, the setting is immersive — lush, tranquil, and beautifully established.

Well maintained and arranged over two levels, the home comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the upper floor dedicated to the living and master bedroom.

Upstairs, the living spaces follow the sun, wrapping naturally around the home to capture light throughout the day. The kitchen is bright and functional, opening to a balcony perfectly oriented for morning coffee and quiet starts. From here, the layout flows seamlessly to the dining area and onward to the main lounge, where a gas fireplace anchors the room and expansive greenery forms a calming backdrop.

A second deck extends from the living space, positioned amongst the treetops — an inviting setting for evening wine, birdsong, and complete retreat. In both sunshine and rain, the outlook is captivating; the ever-changing canopy becomes part of the home’s atmosphere.

The master bedroom and full bathroom are also located on this level, offering convenience and separation from the additional accommodation below.

On the ground floor, three bedrooms enjoy their own leafy outlooks, accompanied by a tiled family bathroom, a generous separate laundry, and internal access to the single carport. The grounds provide ample off-street parking, a garden shed, and lawn space framed by mature planting — ideal for children, quiet relaxation, or alfresco dining beneath the trees.

Private yet well connected, this address places you moments from local schools, shops, the boat ramp, and the lake at Two Mile Bay.

Whether a permanent residence or a refined holiday retreat, this is a home that delivers seclusion, substance, and a setting that is increasingly hard to secure.
