Modern Lake Tarawera house, Spencer Road, $275 - $375
240 Spencer Road, Lake Tarawera, Rotorua
Ref #: 21107
The spacious 12-year old house (180sq.m on one level plus decks) offers a wonderful elevated view of the lake and Mt Tarawera from two large decks, with lake access via a nearby walkway. The sunny property, set amidst native birds and bush, has two large living spaces catering for different family groups and activities, with log-burning fires in each.
This modern home has full residential proportions yet its design, layout and furnishings create a strong holiday “feel”, as it encourages both relaxation and activity. Five bedrooms and two bathrooms provide accommodation flexibility, while the open plan main living/dining/kitchen ensures a highly integrated approach to holidaying.
Situated 19kms from Rotorua, the area offers many holiday options and great natural beauty at Lake Tarawera itself, but there is also a wide range of other varied activities nearby. For those wishing to explore slightly further afield Rotorua serves as a great stepping off point for many Central North Island and Bay of Plenty attractions.
* Spacious, elevated, sunny, contemporary
* Two separate living rooms; each with log burining fires
* Easy access off-street car/boat parking; good turning space
* Two large decks with views across the lake
* Table tennis table – folds down easily and all gear available
* Canoes – a “flexible” single-seater and one rigid fibreglass
* Range of books, puzzles and jigsaws
