Exclusive Lake Karapiro Luxury Retreat

This is a rare opportunity to secure a one-off, architecturally designed lakeside sanctuary in one of New Zealand's most iconic lifestyle locations. Elevated and private on 4814m² of prime land, this residence delivers the ultimate blend of tranquil luxury, timeless design, and investment potential. Designed by Element Architecture, the home sits proudly above Lake Karapiro, overlooking the world-renowned Sir Don Rowlands Centre - New Zealand's High-Performance Rowing headquarters. Properties of this calibre and position seldom come to market.

Architectural elegance and premium build are evident throughout, with solid single-level construction using the Celcrete Cavity system, reinforced plaster, and natural stone accents. The home is fully double glazed, with a north-facing orientation capturing all-day sun. An expansive entertainers' deck offers lake and landscape views. Inside, the high-end interiors feature four spacious bedrooms and 2.5 luxury bathrooms finished with premium tiles and tapware. The master suite is a true retreat, complete with a gas fire, walk-in wardrobe, and designer ensuite. A gourmet kitchen and dining hub, warmed by a gas fire, is perfect for hosting, while a separate lounge with an open fire and an additional living room, offering flexible family spaces.

The lifestyle and location are equally impressive. Nestled amongst mature gardens and established trees alive with birdsong, the property is just a short stroll to the Podium Café, playground, and Te Awa walk/cycleway - all with breathtaking lake vistas. There is easy access to the rowing finish tower, designated swimming zone, and recreational hot spots.

This private lifestyle retreat offers not just a home, but a statement of legacy and prestige, combining architectural excellence, premium materials, and an unparalleled lakeside setting.
