A place for living, working, hosting and celebrating, all in one remarkable lakeside setting.
Located in an exclusive lakeside setting with sweeping lawns stretching towards Lake Rotorua and views across to Mokoia Island, this substantial 420m² home offers a combination of grandeur, character and versatility that is hard to find.
The impressive entrance makes an immediate statement with a chandelier overhead and a sweeping staircase that draws your eye up to the upper-level master suite. The rich timber panelling adds warmth and character, creating a grand but welcoming first impression.
Walk through to the impressive lounge and the lake views take centre stage. The spacious living and dining areas feature a wall of windows that capture the outlook across Lake Rotorua to Mokoia Island and beyond bringing the view into the heart of the home. A striking stone feature wall, complete with pellet fire, built-in shelving and seating enhance the space on offer while the doors open directly onto the patio creating an easy flow between indoor living and the beautiful lakeside setting.
Step through to the spacious, well-designed kitchen with central island, designed for those who enjoy entertaining, allowing you to prepare meals while remaining part of the conversation. A picture frame window allows you to capture the lake views beautifully, almost like a living artwork.
Accommodation is equally impressive, with a total of seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, three of which are en suites.
The impressive staircase leads to the expansive master suite occupying the entire upper-level offering its own private retreat, with an open-plan layout incorporating the bedroom, lounge area and kitchenette. Mirrored wardrobe doors add to the sense of space, while a walk-in wardrobe and large private ensuite complete the suite. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors open onto a balcony, where almost 180-degree views stretch across Lake Rotorua and Mokoia Island, with beautiful sunsets providing the perfect end to the day.
A separate, fully self-contained two-bedroom, two-storey wing with its own entrance adds another dimension to the property. Whether you're considering extended family, generational living, guest accommodation or a potential B&B, the flexibility is there to explore.
As if that isn't enough-there's more to discover, including a large multipurpose room that previously housed a covered indoor swimming pool and was later used as a boardroom. With doors opening onto the deck, this space offers plenty of scope for work, entertaining or other uses that suit your needs. The property's layout may also lend itself to a wedding or event venue, subject to any required consents and approvals.
Outside, the expansive lawns lead your eye towards the water, with access to the jetty adding to the potential and appeal of this lakeside location. Practicality hasn't been overlooked either, with a huge double garage incorporating a workshop, a separate high-stud garage and ample parking for vehicles.
Whether you're looking for a substantial family home, endless space to work from home, options for extended family living or a property with potential for something more, 43 Iri Irikapua Parade invites you to think beyond the ordinary.
