Mature trees, 5 vegetable pods, a fernery featuring an impressive ponga tree, a lawn for kids to play or pitch a tent on, fruiting figs and feijoas, a quaint yet sturdy garden shed, all these, and more, add to the unique appeal of this “2on1”, not over-looked, property, featuring 2 independent living-abode options, thereby offering a myriad of possibilities, whether you’re an investor or home & income occupier.
The current owner bought this cosy 1950s bach-style home in 2002, and built the completely separate & fully Certificated Council-Compliant chalet-styled sleep-out in 2017, initially used as an office, but which now also boasts a 5-star rating as an Airbnb, proving extremely popular with tourists & Taupo marathon competitors, alike.
Both ‘dwellings’ are ‘board n batten clad’ and feature generous-sized decks which offer unexpectedly expansive views out towards Lake Taupo, Acacia Bay and beyond, suitable for relaxation, BBQs, and socialising. Glimpses of glistening snow-covered mountains can also be seen during the winter months.
The 2-bedroom residence features a full-sized bath, plus shower-over-bath, along with a 'wood-themed' kitchen, pantry & compact dishwasher, not to forget the lake views!
Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, the smaller room with a lovely garden outlook and the large room with direct views of Lake Taupo and Acacia Bay.
A Kent wood-burner (installed sometime prior to 2002 purchase) along with the under-floor Batts insulation, keeps things appropriately cosy when required.
The separate fully double-insulated Cottage can be quickly warmed with a fan, oil or wall-heater. A Rinnai Gas System (45kg) services both areas independently, for economic hot-water management.
At approximately 24sqm, the Cottage features a generously-sized shower, vanity & toilet, plus a compact kitchenette; the drop-down Queen-Sized Asko bed can fold back into the wall creating a multi-purpose space eg. an extra family room, an office, a teenage retreat, or an elderly relative/s short or long-term accommodation.
The single garage, already extant on the property when it was purchased in 2002, was significantly renovated back in 2017, at the same time that the Cottage was being built.
This unique ‘2on1’ property offers a variety of ‘option combinations’, whether private residential and/or commercial rentals.
