Asking Price $4,500,000 + GST (if any). The moment you approach the driveway, you know you're in for something special. Nothing can prepare you for the experience of arriving at this spectacular property and processing the sheer magnificence of what lies in front of you. The views at 1025 Taupo Bay Road are awe inspiring and surely rank among the top coastal waterfront properties in New Zealand. As the dawn light begins to illuminate the eastern horizon over the water and the mist rises out of Whangaroa Harbour, rolling over the imposing cliffs of Kowhairoa Headland, until the sun sets over the western hills painting them in hues of gold, the vistas from every aspect of this property are truly breathtaking. Set high on the northern hillside of Taupo Bay, the property is 8.43ha of prime secluded waterfront land with private beach access via a stunning native bush track. Available for the first time since 2004, the property features a four bedroom Californian lodge style cedar home, designed to take full advantage of the commanding oceanfront position. You will be hard pressed to find an entertainer's kitchen with a more impressive outlook as it flows seamlessly to the open plan dining room, second lounge and stone clad open fireplace, 5m high timber ceilings and a library room retreat. The master bedroom features a spa bath and sauna. The large end bedroom is self-contained with a bathroom, kitchen and private deck. The lounge opens onto a stone terrace and dining area with an outdoor fire. Extensive entertaining areas and impressive sculptures feature over elevated terraces, all with stunning sea views. Almost every room in the home faces east, taking in the views, from the distant Cavalli Islands in the east, to Flat Island, Stephenson Island, the Pacific Ocean and beyond. Below the deck is the entrance to a private walking trail which meanders 250m through lush subtropical native bush to the serene north end of one of New Zealand's finest beaches, Taupo Bay....
