976 Mapara Road, Kinloch, Taupo, Waikato

This impressive family home, set on a generous 4.0027ha (more or less) of land, offers a rare opportunity for those seeking the best of both worlds. Conveniently located halfway between Taupo town and Kinloch, it’s just minutes from the stunning Whakaipo Bay – a paradise for recreational activities.

Originally built in the 1980s (approximately), this home has been thoughtfully updated with modern improvements to suit today’s needs. Spanning three spacious levels, it’s designed for easy living with a lift providing seamless access to two floors, as well as wheelchair accessibility. The open plan kitchen, dining, and living areas feature soaring ceilings, enhancing the feeling of space, while large windows and expansive decking make the most of the breathtaking views across Lake Taupo, the mountains, and surrounding countryside.

Partially double glazed and equipped with four heat pumps, this home exudes a warm, homestead charm. The smart design is perfect for co-generational living or large families needing room to grow. With a bathroom on each level, and a versatile fifth room on the top floor with a partition – offering either an additional lounge or a potential sixth bedroom – the options are endless.

The land itself is mostly flat, presenting excellent potential for equestrian pursuits. The three bay garage, with an additional carport, ensures ample storage for all your vehicles and equipment.

Given the change in the new district plan, there is an exciting opportunity for further development (subject to council approval), offering future proofing for the savvy buyer.
