3560A State Highway 4, Raurimu, Ruapehu

Where luxury meets wilderness

Set high above the landscape with sweeping rural views toward the peaks of Tongariro National Park, 3560A State Highway 4, Raurimu is a rare fusion of seclusion, sustainability, and executive-level comfort.

Designed for those who value privacy, independence, and connection to nature, the property operates off-grid while delivering the quality and scale expected of a premium retreat. Featuring five calmly decorated bedrooms (master has a walk-in wardrobe), two naturally inspired bathrooms, and a large laundry, it is well set up for any new purchasers.

Floor-to-ceiling outlooks frame vast skies, rolling countryside, and the dramatic alpine backdrop beyond. Whether used as a luxury family escape, corporate retreat, or high-end accommodation venture, this property leaves a lasting impression.

Throughout the large open-plan living space, you get a sense of the outdoors that flows to the entertainment deck through several sliding doors. The light-filled kitchen has plenty of space for any gathering, while how it all happens can be hidden away in the well-designed butler's pantry.

Powered by solar technology with battery storage and complemented by a large woodburner with wetback system and radiators, this home has been designed for year-round comfort.

Here, mornings begin with birdsong and big skies. Evenings end under a star-filled darkness you just won't get in town. With room for extended family, guests, or home-based ventures, the lodge provides flexibility to shape the lifestyle you've been planning.

This private sanctuary, on the edge of one of New Zealand's most iconic landscapes, is a rare find indeed.
