Distances We overlook the legendary Acacia Bay; the jewel in Taupo’s crown, just 2 minutes walk to the water’s edge and 5 minutes drive into Taupo Township central. Public transport is a 5 minute walk away and the nearest dairy is 10 minutes walk. Locations/Surroundings We are located beside the pristine waters of Lake Taupo, in a private setting almost at the end of a cul-de-sac. The surrounding quite, well maintained neighbourhood is made up of unique upmarket housing with street footpaths and good street lighting. The Lake Taupo region displays New Zealand’s finest examples of mountain wilderness, fresh water streams and geothermal wonders. But our unique feature is of course the magnificent Lake Taupo; the largest fresh water lake in Australasia, created by the world's largest volcanic eruption in 181 AD. This water paradise offers sailing, kayaking, skiing and of course trout fishing like nowhere else. We in Taupo like to say “there’s more beside the Great Lake” and of course there is. Two world class ski fields on our door step, the sub alpine and alpine hiking tracks, our outdoor thrill seeking adventures, Taupo’s renown golf courses, mineral pools both manmade and natural and don’t forget the abundance of dining options, from fine and formal to casual and funky. It’s all here. Actual State and size of Property This two story 413m² property is 9 years old, extremely well maintained and is in excellent condition. The land area is 1638m². |
