42 Edge Hill, Acacia Bay, Taupo District, Central North Island
Just 15 minutes from town amongst the rolling hills of Acacia Bay, this impressive home has been lovingly curated as the perfect family home and an entertainer's dream, with separate guest quarters, outdoor and formal dining, open plan kitchen and living area, and a generous games room.
Situated atop Edge Hill with 360 degree views of Taupo and its surrounds, you'll enter the electronic gate to Edge Hill House and drive into a generous parking area, with room for 3 cars comfortably, as well as the double garage. There's more parking around the other side of the house so you'll never run out of space.
Enter this immaculate home through the grandiose double front doors, and you'll be looking straight out through the formal dining area to the Western Bays of Lake Taupo. Down the hall, past the generous games room, you'll find one guest bedroom, a warm and cosy queen-sized room.
Watch the sun melt over Whakaipo Bay from the beautifully light and lovely master bedroom, featuring a big walk-in wardrobe with all the space you could possibly need for your clothes and shoes, and a modern master ensuite with double sinks and a spa bath.
In the evening, prepare a beautiful roast dinner in the large, fully-equipped kitchen whilst looking out over the twinkling lights of Taupo, while the family relaxes in the attached living room (they can do the dishes). The guest quarters sit upstairs - a private, delightful area featuring two huge bedrooms, both with their own ensuites and equally exceptional views.
At the end of the night, relax and enjoy the stunning view from the enclosed spa room, with an adjustable roof for optional stargazing.
This gem has seen many amazing family memories. Will yours be next?
