ID#604848 - Lake Okareka, Rotorua

Tucked into one of Lake Ōkareka's most sought-after pockets, this substantial residence offers space, flexibility, and the kind of relaxed lifestyle that makes this lakeside community so special.

Set on beautifully flat grounds - a true rarity in Lake Ōkareka - the property immediately creates a sense of ease and possibility. The generous lawn stretches out behind the home, providing ample space for summer cricket, a trampoline for the children, or parking for a caravan or boat ready for the next day on the lake. Fully fenced and thoughtfully landscaped, the grounds are private, secure and wonderfully usable.

Inside, the home unfolds across an impressive 254sqm of living, offering room for families, guests and effortless entertaining. The heart of the home unfolds on the ground floor, where expansive open-plan living seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining and lounge in a warm and welcoming space. The kitchen sits comfortably to the side, well-appointed with extensive bench space and a substantial walk-in pantry, while remaining connected to the rhythm of everyday life.

The living areas open to generous timber decking on both sides, creating a seamless transition outdoors. Here, long summer evenings unfold easily - a barbecue sizzling, friends gathered around the table, and the surrounding greenery providing a peaceful backdrop.

The ground floor also hosts the master suite, privately positioned with its own ensuite, alongside an additional room that adds flexibility for working from home or an overflow of guests.

Upstairs, a second living area creates a peaceful retreat, complete with a wood burner that brings warmth and character through the cooler months. From here, sliding doors open to an elevated balcony where glimpses of Lake Ōkareka appear through the trees, offering a gentle reminder of the beautiful surroundings. Three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate toilet complete the upper level.

Beyond the home, the grounds continue to impress. A large separate garage provides excellent storage for vehicles, lake toys, tools or workshop space, while the wide driveway offers easy access and plenty of off-street parking.

With the lake reserve and boatramp just around the corner, launching a kayak, taking an early morning swim, or enjoying a quiet lakeside walk becomes part of daily life.

Spacious, welcoming and wonderfully positioned in the heart of Lake Ōkareka, this is a home designed for relaxed living, entertaining and creating lasting memories by the water.
