Lot 10, 1278 Poihipi Road, Oruanui, Taupo, Waikato

Just twelve minutes from Taupo, yet a world away from the everyday, lies a truly unique lifestyle opportunity - 14 hectares (more or less) of pristine native bush alive with birdsong, glow worms, and the magic of untouched New Zealand.

This is a property where conservation and comfort meet. The current custodians have invested years into bringing the land back to life through extensive pest control and planting. Their vision has created a thriving sanctuary for native flora and fauna - including the endangered Popokotea (Whitehead), along with kereru, tui, tomtit, and piwakawaka. Towering matai, totara, and miro trees stand proud, while fern-filled tracks weave beneath the cool green canopy.

Adding to the allure are two handcrafted, council-consented pod houses. Thoughtfully designed for off-grid living, each pod features insulated interiors, outdoor kitchens, private bathing areas, and wood-burning fires - offering a boutique eco-glamping experience unlike any other. Whether you use them for guests, income, or your own personal escape, they are the perfect blend of sustainability and style. There is also potential to extend or relocate a pod for a future dwelling site (subject to consents).

Adventure is never far away. In just ten minutes you can be in Kinloch, launching your kayak on Lake Taupo, playing a round at world-class golf courses, or hitting some of New Zealand’s best cycle trails. Yet back on the property, serenity reigns - a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the natural world.

Opportunities like this are rare: a private retreat offering both seclusion and convenience, conservation and comfort, sustainability and lifestyle. Whether you’re searching for a personal hideaway, an eco-friendly investment, or a base for Central North Island adventures, this sanctuary is waiting.

A rare piece of New Zealand - will you be the one to call it yours?
