Lake Tarawera
Rotorua
Tarawera's Utopia
On an expansive 6,595 m2 section in an absolute prime, lake location, this highly appealing home nestles amongst its own picturesque, park-like grounds. Blending its country estate vibes with lake cottage charm, the property includes a large four-bedroom character home, guest accommodation in the loft above the double garage and a summer house that's brimming with potential. Pitched ceilings, feature windows and bespoke touches add to the appeal and there's an easy flow through the light filled living spaces and out onto the deck. In the heart is a large country style kitchen from where it's easy to serve food or drinks to the covered alfresco dining space out on the deck and a mud room style entry beside the laundry creates the perfect transition from the garden. A bedroom and a bathroom are also part of the downstairs layout, while upstairs there are three bedrooms (including the master suite) with leafy views plus there's a bathroom and a workstation. The loft above the garage offers a separate guest accommodation suite with a bedroom/bathroom/sitting area & kitchenette combo and the summer house adds another opportunity to fire the imagination. The charm continues outdoors where the grounds surround the home with beauty and interest from hidden gardens and architectural highlights to feature plantings and an orchard that includes lemons & grapefruit, feijoas & figs with a feature plum tree taking center stage. Stroll, play, explore or garden to your heart's content - whatever your family's stage in life, there is plenty to appreciate here. There's also plenty of space for multiple vehicles, boat and motorhome with a double garage, 2 carports, (one with a high stud) plus a lean-to for the ride on. Located in a beautiful part of the globe that offers world class fishing opportunities, water sports & scenic walks amongst pristine bush, this rare retreat with its love-at-first-sight appeal is beautifully set up for high-quality guest accommodation or family life with options.

Born in Wellington I spent a good part of my adult life in Auckland where prior to Real Estate I owned and managed a painting and decorating company specializing in the restoration of old villas and bungalows in most of Aucklands exclusive suburbs.
I am married to Jacqueline who comes from Switzerland. Jacqueline is a Residential Sales Specialist in her own right. We have two young children. I also have a daughter currently living and working in Australia. Prior to settling in the beautiful Lakes District of Rotorua, Jacqueline and I married and lived for almost 3 years in Zurich, Switzerland. We moved to Rotorua in 1995.
People and houses have been the main focus of my previous occupation. Real Estate is all about people and I decided that a career in Real Estate would be a good move. Since then I've never looked back!
In June 2007 I was declared the overall winner 2006-07 for the Regional Real Estate Institute Award for the Waikato/Bay of Plenty and Gisborne District for residential sales with a population 20,001-70,000. The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand Award represents all Real Estate Companies and perhaps proves that bigger is not always better. We are all very hard working and never lose focus of achieving the best result for our homeowners.

Norman has spent his lifetime at the 2 lakes and knows the area intimately. He did his first 6 years selling for Ray White's Rotorua office. Since then Norman gained his own license and operated on his own behalf. However he recently rejoined the Rotorua Ray White office. He found that the need for a multi national brand was very necessary and coupled with the fact that the Rotorua business owners are an excellent group of people with a very popular following locally. If you are wanting any information re buying or selling a property please dont hesitate, just call. Best to use the A/H number due to marginal mobile reception and Norman mostly operates from his home.
