Follow the private driveway through native bush and arrive somewhere extraordinary. This is the kind of homecoming that never gets old and the moment you step through the foyer, you'll understand why. Breathtaking lake views take centre stage, framing every day that follows. Spanning 488sqm, this substantial contemporary residence was built for living well. Five generous bedrooms and three bathrooms give everyone room to breathe, while three separate living areas mean there's always a space to gather or to escape to. Whether it's family life, visiting guests, or multiple generations under one roof, this home flexes to fit. The kitchen is where it all comes together: black granite benchtops, quality stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in butlers pantry built for real entertaining, not just show. Step outside and the magic continues. Expansive decking flows into beautifully landscaped grounds, where an "infinity lawn" seems to dissolve into native bush below and beyond it, uninterrupted lake and city views that shift with the light, stunning by day and mesmerising after dark. Some things you simply have to stand there and see for yourself. Set on 8.13 hectares of grazing land and native bush, the privacy here is real and so is the potential. A substantial six-bay shed with concrete flooring and three-phase power opens the door to a home business, workshop, or serious storage. A double internal-access garage adds everyday ease. Few properties offer this scale and flexibility: an idyllic family residence, a striking wedding or events venue, or the ultimate work-from-home setup the choice is yours. And with Rotorua Central just 11km away, you get the seclusion without sacrificing convenience. This is more than a property. It's a sanctuary where lifestyle, opportunity, and vision finally align.
