741 Hingarae Road Tihoi, Taupo District

If you're looking for a place where you can truly disappear into the landscape, "The Last Post" at the end of Hingarae Road is in a league of its own. It's rare to find a property that balances productive farmland with this level of architectural sophistication, all tucked away at the end of a massive two-kilometre private driveway. Once you're there, the world just falls away, leaving you with nothing but wide-open spaces and a 360-degree view that stretches from the snow-capped peaks of Tongariro National Park across the deep blue of Lake Taupo and out to the Kaimanawa Ranges.

The home itself is a 348sqm masterclass in design, using a striking mix of cedar, schist, and linear cladding to create a bold, modern presence that commands its position above the lake-shore reserve. Inside, it's all about the light and the vistas, with floor-to-ceiling windows and open-plan living areas that flow out onto an oversized decks. It's built for those who love to host, featuring a bespoke kitchen packed with Miele appliances and a plumbed-in Haier double fridge. Whether you're relaxing in the formal lounge or retreating to the master suite with its double-shower ensuite, the sense of luxury is everywhere. Plus, with two Metro wood fires, underfloor heating, and a solar power setup, it's a home that stays warm and sustainable regardless of the season.

Beyond the house, the 40 hectares (more or less) of land is a serious setup for anyone wanting a slice of the primary industry. The farm is currently running 32 R2 Angus cattle and 10 MA cows with calves at foot, supported by a TAND allowance of 783kg/year. The infrastructure is just as impressive, featuring quality cattle yards, a large 4 bay hay barn, and a three-bay lockable shed with concrete floors and single phase power. There's even a self-contained unit attached to the shed, which is a massive win for guest overflow, business opportunities or office setup.

Between the working farmland and the luxury of the home, you'll find peaceful pockets of native bush, and walking or mountain biking access to Lake Taupo, that make the property feel like your own private park. This is a rare chance to secure a block that doesn't compromise on comfort or style.

The property is being offered for sale by Tender (plus GST, if any) closing at 2:00 PM on the 24th of April at Ray White Taupo office, 147 Tongariro Street, Taupo.
