A Sanctuary Beyond Compare

In a setting that defies comparison, this remarkable estate offers a rare combination of absolute privacy, natural beauty, and architectural presence.

Positioned to command awe-inspiring panoramic views of Lake Taupo and the surrounding mountains, and situated just 32 minutes from the Taupo town centre, this full-log cabin sits in complete harmony with its environment. With no neighbouring rooftops in sight, and the silence broken only by birdsong, this is a place to truly disconnect.

Crafted from full round logs, this two bedroom residence is rich in character and presence. The great room is the centre piece here with its soaring ceilings and sense of scale that is both grand and inviting.

This space showcases an impressive stone fireplace and opens to a wraparound deck that offers multiple living spaces, ideal for entertaining while enjoying the shifting light over the lake. The kitchen is equally distinctive with swamp kauri slab bench-tops that anchor the kitchen in a nod to the natural beauty that surrounds the home.

Upstairs, the master suite occupies its own private zone complete with its own spectacular views. Downstairs is the second bedroom and family bathroom. The home is double glazed with cedar windows and solid Jarrah doors throughout add a statement.

The land is as special as the home itself. Mature trees frame sun-drenched clearings and dappled glades, offering serene spaces to pause, reflect or simply enjoy the stillness.

Completely off-the grid, this 7 hectare property, more or less, is equipped with a self-sufficient lifestyle with a solar power system, gas hot water, generator back up power when needed and a hot-house for home grown produce. The large 25 x 10 metre shed doubles as a helicopter hanger and the helicopter pad ensures effortless access.

This is a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking something truly extraordinary. A place that feels far from the ordinary.
