1829E Tirau Road, Karapiro, Waipa

Private retreat with lake views

Nestled in the hills above Lake Karapiro amongst character homes, this 1.47ha (more or less) retreat will enchant you with its surrounds. Beautifully established grounds create an inviting sense of seclusion, with mature trees, landscaped gardens and expansive lawns, topped off by views of the lake and the undulating rural landscape.

The executive brick and tile home is designed for modern family living, with the kitchen the heart of the home and flanked by living spaces on either side leading out to a spacious wraparound deck. Start the day watching the morning sun light up the lake and hills over a coffee or relax at days-end appreciating the everchanging colours of a sunset with a drink in hand.

The master suite opens directly to the garden and is complemented by a large adjoining lounge that offers flexibility as a private retreat or additional living space for family and guests.

There is room for children to play, pets to roam and animals to graze on the flat, free-draining paddocks. Practicality is also well considered, with a three-bay half-round barn featuring a concrete floor and power, ideal for storage or hobbies.

Walking and cycling trails, trout fishing and boating activities are all accessible in nearby Lake Karapiro and the Waikato River. Positioned just 12km from Tirau, 19km from Matamata, 20km from Cambridge and with easy access to the Waikato Expressway and main routes to Rotorua, Tauranga and Taupo, this private oasis balances convenience with rural lifestyle appeal.
