Taupo Bach - Iconic Piece Of History And Mystery

Seldom does such a unique property in this tranquil and secluded setting come to the market. An unheard of opportunity following over 60 years of tightly retained ownership in the same family.

Authentic and largely original, quaint and rustic Taupo bach with an additional separate sleepout and bathroom/laundry upgraded facilities built in 1995. Likely renown for representing an iron clad fishermans bach from the 1920’s era, this property transcends the ordinary.

Handmade curved steps leads you up to the porched entrance and sunny outdoor courtyard. Upstairs comprises of open living, two bedrooms and downstairs accommodates separate bedroom and large bunk-room.

The main dwelling is originally thoughtfully crafted with matai timber flooring, sarked ceilings and stunning coloured glass window. Olde world characteristics include kitchen meat safe and features a large open crackling fireplace providing warmth for the colder seasons. In addition is a separate storage shed ideal for water toys and fishing equipment.

Plenty of scope to update or keep as is and enjoy an extraordinary slice of Kiwiana, sited on a 1242 sq m (more or less) section. A large established section magically enveloped with mature trees and a native dell blessed with morning birdsong. With a little vision, this real piece of private paradise could be exceptional.

Nestled close to the Taupo boat harbour and waters edge to launch the boat or jet ski. Only couple of minutes stroll offers the enjoyment of a popular swimming spot near the mouth of the Waikato River.

Lovingly celebrated as ‘The Summer House’ this much loved and restful adobe has provided decades of fun memories for generational family and friends. A sense of soul and belonging whispers gently through this property.

Offering add-value potential to be unlocked. An opportunity nothing short of vision for the savvy developer, astute buyer or land banker buying with an eye on the future.
