142 Orakei Korako Road Taupo, Taupo District

Pretty as a picture, the owners of this beautiful property have found their next move: downsizing and relocating.

Their instruction is clear - it must sell!

Some properties offer a home; others offer possibility. This is one of the latter.

Private, productive, and exceptionally well-positioned, this property offers something increasingly rare: greater control over how life is lived without giving up comfort, connection, or everyday convenience. At its centre is a recently renovated, well-insulated four-bedroom home with a generous open-plan kitchen and living area, supported by efficient heating from two electric heat pumps and a multi-fuel burner with effectively endless on-property supply of quality firewood.

The infrastructure for a more self-directed lifestyle is already here. There are extensive utility buildings, including two sizeable powered multi-use sheds and a detached double garage-workshop. Attached to the garage is a fully self-contained sleepout adding immediate flexibility for guests, extended family or additional income.

A reliable bore water supply, established fruit and nut orchard, numerous raised garden beds, 4 hectares of productive grazing land (more or less), a functional animal yard, and a low-maintenance wastewater system create genuine independence without demanding a full farming commitment. It is a property that delivers privacy, warmth, productive land, water security and room to grow - while remaining within easy reach of the wider opportunities of the Central Plateau, including Taupo supermarkets, schools, cafes, gyms and medical services.

Positioned between Taupo and Rotorua, in the heart of one of the North Island's strongest year-round tourism regions, the property offers convenient access to boating, freshwater fishing, geothermal hot pools, cycling and hiking and even skiing (1.5-hour drive).

More than a home, this property offers freedom, optionality, and a richer way of living.
