Loved and cherished by the current owners, 144 State Highway, Waitahanui now presents an unmissable opportunity for someone new to live the dream. This is absolute lakefront living at its finest – a truly rare offering where the beauty of Lake Taupo is quite literally at your doorstep. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the magic. This large family home has been carefully modernised over the years to make the most of its incredible setting. An expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area forms the heart of the home, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views of the crystal blue lake and surrounding mountain ranges. Whether you're cooking, relaxing, or entertaining, every glance out the window is a reminder of the special location you’re in. Step out onto the large, covered deck – a space made for long summer evenings, alfresco dining, and soaking in those iconic Taupo sunsets. The lawn rolls gently toward the water, ideal for backyard games, family gatherings, and easy access to the lake for a swim or paddle. Inside, the home offers three generous bedrooms plus an office, two bathrooms, and a utility/rumpus room – giving you the flexibility and space to suit any lifestyle. A large wood burner and full double glazing ensure the home is warm and welcoming all year round, creating the perfect setting for cosy winter nights. This property doesn't just offer a home; it provides a lifestyle. One of its standout features is the private boatramp, perfect for those who love to spend their days on the water. Picture yourself launching your boat for a sunrise fishing trip or a sunset cruise, all from the comfort of your own property. Storage is never an issue here, with large garaging for all the lake toys, plus ample off-street parking for visitors. Tucked away from the road, you’ll enjoy complete privacy and a deep sense of tranquillity, surrounded by established, low-maintenance gardens and multiple outdoor entertaining zones. Whether you're searching for a forever home, a holiday retreat, or a sound investment in a truly unbeatable location, this property offers it all – space, comfort, peace, and one of the best views in Taupo. But be warned: this opportunity won’t wait. The vendors are committed to selling, and properties like this are tightly held for good reason. This is more than just a home – it’s a lifestyle. And it must be sold. DEADLINE SALE: Closes 1:00 p.m. Wednesday 19 November 2025 (unless sold prior)
