161 Spencer Road, Lake Tarawera

The highly crafted detail of this exquisite Lake Tarawera home ensures it will remain a precious getaway for generations to come. Reigning supreme over the landscape, the property gazes over the lake and iconic Mt Tarawera. Blessed with open, airy spaces, swathes of glass and masses of decking, this nature lover laps up majestic scenery from the moment the sun rises. The bespoke house uses a palette of well-selected materials, including Otago schist and native timbers, to create a striking whole. Designed for the consummate entertainer, it showcases a sultry black magic kitchen, with marbled Caesarstone benches, woodgrain flooring, instant hot water, push-button storage, a drinks' fridge and bar, a high-end Belling stove, and black mirror splashbacks reflecting the lake. Life seamlessly spills onto expansive tiered decking overlooking the lake and gardens and leading to a private staircase down to water and sandy bays. Indulgence runs high thanks to a sunken spa and outdoor fire. Party central is revealed at ground level where stairs lead to two lounge areas, a bar and butler's pantry, a bathroom and bunkroom. Catering for hordes of people, this area has space and storage galore. Upstairs is host to a ballroom-sized master suite with a lake-view balcony. Located near Stoney Point Reserve and boat ramp, the property is the ultimate lake retreat in a prized area renowned for its trout fishing, waterskiing, boating, kayaking, and nature walks.
