1/11 Oregon Drive, Rainbow Point, Taupo, Waikato

Impossible to see anything left of the original 150sqm (more or less) timber lined holiday cottage through the automatic entry gates, which has blossomed into the architectural masterpiece it now is, boasting a 282sqm (more or less) footprint, plus over 90sqm (more or less) of maintenance free "Timber Tech" composite decking without a blemish in sight. Oregon Drive has undergone a total transformation in the tireless hands of the creative owners effectively building a new home which anybody would be proud to call their own.

An entertainer's kitchen with adjacent butler's pantry is central to the dining area, opening out to the choice of two deck options or catering to the expansive living room. All top-quality appliances are fitted and included. The main home has four bedrooms, all facing the extensive outdoor living, with four matching bathrooms and then there is the amazing semi self-contained annex offering complete independence for visitors or extended family. This in turn opens to the rear, private lawn/garden area which enjoys all the afternoon sun available.

The kitchen/living area has exposed beams making a real feature of the vaulted ceilings. The easy-care solid flooring blends into the luxurious warm woolen carpets in the bedrooms and passageway. There is a generous central office and smartly finished laundry, again with all new appliances fitted and staying.

The outdoor living area is covered with a weather activated louvre type roof to take advantage of all seasons. The fully fenced and mature tree lined section is 981sqm (more or less) and now also has extensive cobbled paving to cater for many guests or boat parking. In your absence the extra-long garage will securely protect the boat or other lakeside Taupo essentials.

The property's rear position offers total privacy, peace and quiet and yet an easy short walk across the road to the lake for a swim or to the Lions Walk.
