Taupo, Waikato Nueva Zelanda

Where timeless mid-century inspiration meets contemporary comfort, this exceptional property is a rare offering in one of Taupo’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

Set on an elevated 931 sq m site (more or less) with no rear neighbours, this near-new, architecturally designed home spans a generous 280 sq m (more or less) – combining space, sunlight and a sense of serenity that’s hard to match.

The home is north-facing and perfectly centred around a private, Italian-style courtyard. Established olive trees, full-height stacker doors, and clever orientation ensure natural light pours in all day, creating a peaceful and refined living environment.

Step inside and be captivated by the carefully curated finishes. Every element speaks of quality and intention — from the Spanish clay pendant lights and Moroccan Zellige tiles in the designer kitchen (complete with a full butler’s pantry), to the custom double-sided brick fireplace, the only one of its kind in Taupo.

The floor plan is as functional as it is beautiful. With three oversized bedrooms, including a striking master retreat, plus a glass-walled office, and two luxurious bathrooms featuring Italian marble sinks, plus a separate powder room, the home offers both drama and practicality. Ducted heating and cooling is seamlessly integrated for year-round comfort.

Outdoors, the property continues to impress. Professionally landscaped gardens, tranquil views of snow-capped mountains, and easy access to Wharewaka’s peaceful walking tracks create the perfect backdrop for this exceptional home. Just 1km (approximately) from the lake’s edge, this location offers both prestige and lifestyle.

107 Harakeke Drive is not just a home – it’s a masterpiece. Refined, distinctive, and designed to be lived in and loved.
