Lake Okareka Rarity

Deadline 18 June, unless sold prior. Price guide is over $875,000.

Set in one of Rotorua’s most sought-after lake communities, 3 Ridge Road presents a rare chance to secure a property that hasn’t changed hands in nearly 15 years. Homes in this tightly held pocket of Lake Ōkareka are rarely offered for sale—when people buy here, they stay.

Tucked away in an elevated, peaceful position, this weatherboard home offers sweeping lake and bush views that are hard to match, all just 12 minutes from town. The master bedroom enjoys panoramic vistas, while the open-plan living flows seamlessly to a generous deck— perfect for relaxing or entertaining in a truly tranquil setting. There is a second bedroom and a third room perfect for an office or children.

The home features two bathrooms, a practical kitchen, and a sunny rear sunroom that invites relaxation. A fireplace and heat pump keep the space cozy through all seasons. The spacious garage and low-maintenance grounds make for an easy-care lifestyle, whether you’re living here full-time or locking up and leaving.

Accessed via a native bush-lined driveway, the setting is wonderfully private—quieter than being directly on the lakefront, yet with all the beauty and connection that Lake Ōkareka is known for.

The vendor has now moved on, creating a rare opportunity for a new owner to enjoy the lifestyle and location this home has to offer.

Call Kara today at 021 025 97042 to book your private viewing.
