Rare lakeside retreat

Positioned on the edge of Lake Karapiro, this exceptional waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to secure a private lifestyle sanctuary in one of the region's most picturesque settings.

Set amongst established grounds with uninterrupted river views, the property enjoys its own private beach, jetty and secluded waterfall - creating a setting that is both peaceful and unforgettable. Whether it's morning coffee overlooking the water, summer days spent lakeside, or evenings watching the light settle across the river, this is a home designed to embrace its surroundings.

Built in 2000, the traditional Lockwood residence offers 310sqm (more or less) of total floor area, plus a separate double skyline garage and showcases timeless timber craftsmanship, soaring ceilings and warm, light-filled interiors. The generous floor plan offers five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and two spacious living areas providing flexibility for both family living and entertaining on a larger scale. The open-plan kitchen and dining area form the heart of the home, flowing effortlessly to outdoor spaces that capture the sweeping views.

Beyond the home, the property offers lifestyle farming capability. Well-fenced paddocks provide secure grazing options, while established yards and a loading race allow for practical and efficient stock management. Currently running approximately 50 dairy heifers, the infrastructure is already in place for those wanting to continue grazing operations or adapt the land to suit their own farming vision. The balance of productive pasture and premium waterfront setting creates an increasingly rare combination -lifestyle without compromise.

With its scale, privacy, farming versatility and breathtaking lakefront position, this is a property that offers far more than just a home - it delivers a complete lifestyle opportunity.

Opportunities of this calibre on Lake Karapiro are seldom available.
