See it before the market does.
Some of our best homes never make it to the open advertising stage — they move too fast. This is where they surface first: a private first look at what's coming, before the rest of Taupō even knows it's for sale.
A significant number of our properties sell before they ever reach the public advertising stage. The Pre-Release Window is how we give you the same head start our best-connected buyers already get — a chance to view, ask, and act before a listing is public.
These properties will be released to the public this week. Please note they haven't yet reached the public advertising stage — photos and descriptions may not reflect our usual marketing standard while that process is under way.
Pre-Release Properties
A first look at what's coming — before it reaches the open market.
First look
78 Huka Heights Drive, Rangatira Park
Space to spread out, views to slow down for.
Morning light pours into an open plan kitchen, dining and living area that spills straight out to a wide deck and fenced backyard, with glimpses of Lake Taupō and Mount Tauhara thrown in. Four bedrooms give growing families, guests or a work from home setup real breathing room, and the master's own ensuite and separate access outside add a layer of quiet privacy. A separate scullery and double garage round out a home built for easy, everyday living in the heart of Rangatira Park.
First look
1/5 The Moorings, Two Mile Bay
Three levels, one very private corner of Two Mile Bay.
Tucked at the end of the complex, this three level apartment opens through an oversized glass entry to a double garage, a guest bedroom and the ease of an internal elevator connecting every floor. The central living level is the true hub, with an open plan kitchen (complete with butler's pantry and double ovens) flowing out to a lake view balcony and a private garden with built in barbecue. Upstairs, a spacious master with walk in wardrobe and ensuite sits alongside a generous study and a further double bedroom, all wrapped in the kind of privacy that an end of complex position rarely offers.
First look
17 Garden Grove, Nukuhau
More than meets the eye from the road.
Behind a tidy frontage, this Garden Grove home has been through a complete transformation, with an extension delivering generously sized bedrooms including an oversized master and bathrooms finished with playful barn doors. A private backyard retreat sets up effortless entertaining this summer, and having recently operated as an Air B&B, it comes with the majority of its furnishings included, ready to simply move in and enjoy.
First look
71 Richmond Avenue, Richmond Heights
Freshly renovated, ready for its next chapter.
Every surface here has had a refresh, from new double glazed joinery and a brand new kitchen through to fresh flooring and lighting throughout. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a spacious ensuite, sit behind a large deck that looks out over landscaped grounds with a delightful outlook toward Lake Taupō. A double garage and a short walk to the lake, schools and shops round out a home that balances style with everyday convenience.
First look
26 Laughton Street, Central
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul de sac.
Sunny and easy care, this three bedroom board and batten home sits peacefully in the sought after Bird Area, close to both the lake and town. Open plan kitchen, dining and lounge spaces flow into generous entertaining areas, while the master suite's walk in robe and ensuite add a touch of everyday luxury. Zoned for Hilltop School and just as suited to a permanent family home as a weekend escape, this one is ready to simply arrive, relax and enjoy.
