More than Meets the Eye

On a tranquil cul-de-sac in the sought-after Mapara neighbourhood just 10-minutes’ drive from town, sits this modernised and inviting home offering plenty – three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a nursery/study, a separate rumpus room currently serving as a fourth bedroom, a spacious lounge, dining area, kitchen and even a new walk-in pantry, plus a sunny north-facing deck on some 4,005sqm (more or less) of land.

Highlights of this low-maintenance home include double glazing, new carpet, fresh interior paint, ceilings, and scotia. Functionality abounds with a wood burner, heat pump, and DVS system, and a separate laundry ripe for conversion into a bathroom for the rumpus room. Practicality continues outside – a paved carport at the backdoor, a double garage (with single-car door), and a large, gravelled area provides ample parking for cars, caravans and boats. If wanted, there’s also space for shed construction.

The property benefits from level lawn and easy-care gardens around the house, before expanding into approximately 3,000 sqm of undulating green space for kids, pets, or hens to enjoy.

Summer is approaching – time to enjoy this peaceful and private oasis near town, Whakaipo Bay and Acacia Bay’s boat ramp. See you at the Open Home.

"The best agents I've ever had - and I've had them all!"

Cynthia Van Deventer

I found Taupo realestate excellent to work with they gave me all the right advice on how to sell my property, and there marketing strategy was on point,regarding the appraisal,they were the only realestate company that could give me the true transparent comparison of the property's in my suburb.they put a plus &minus dollar value on my property and the other property's that have sold in the suburb in the last 2 months,eg: property A has no double glazing but has a garage,my house has double glazing and a garage,and is fully insulated,they then give me what house A, sold for,and what my house will potentially get from the comparison of the 2 home in question,this is why I gave Taupo realestate 10/10 for being so transparent,and so easy to work with,They sold my house after the second open home ,I will be using Abbie and Julie in the future with my other property's,as well as any investment property's that I'll be looking at in the near future,Thanks heaps for making the process so stress free. Kind regards, Tony Reynolds.😊

"Throughout, Abbie was wonderfully professional, efficient, patient, calm, and a great communicator."

Christine Cheyne and Terry Kelly

We have worked with a number of agents in the past when selling houses but signing on Abbie and Julie for our most recent sale was the very best decision - they are so friendly, professional, prompt and helpful, we have decided 'big is not always the best' when it comes to real estate companies, Abbie and Julie have proved that. They are both so thoughtful and considerate of your needs while working so very hard to achieve the very best results for you. They treat your property as their own, ensuring it is left as they found it upon leaving after an open home. We would, and indeed have, fully recommend both Abbie and Julie to anyone selling property - their honesty of the market, communication, knowledge and feedback is simply the best.

Elaine and Glenn Tocker

"We cannot recommend Abbie and Julie highly enough.  From the moment we listed our home, we felt completely supported and confident in their expertise. We elected to market our property by the 4-week Deadline Date method. This process made sense to us. As it transpired, the excellent marketing found our buyers in the first week and by the 10 the day of “going live” we had several multi offers presented to us. All offers were very competitive but one stood out above the others and by the end of that day we were SOLD, feeling confident that the best outcome had been achieved. We really loved the fact that Abbie and Julie are one unique team handling all the buyers. It felt so much less complicated than other arrangements. While both Abbie and Julie were fantastic to work with, we want to particularly acknowledge Abbie as she was the “lead salesperson” on our property.  She is in a league of her own.  Her communication is flawless and she has an incredible ability to make you feel at ease throughout the entire process. We trusted her 100% from start to finish, knowing that she would handle our buyers with the utmost care and skill. Abbie is more than a cut above anyone else we have dealt with in the Real Estate industry — she (and/or Julie) in our opinion are the best and only choice in Taupo when it comes to marketing your property. If you want someone who is professional, highly skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome, Abbie (and her amazing team) are unparalleled. Thank you, Abbie and Julie, for making the sale of our home such a smooth, positive, and even enjoyable experience."

Mark and Mel Barnett

"In all of our real estate endeavours, we have never had a more thorough and professional involvement than we have had with Abbie and Julie. They sold our house almost immediately upon listing and talked us through every critical stage of the process. We referred a colleague to them and their home was sold with similar results. We would highly recommend Real Estate Taupo to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Taupo region. Signed by two very happy customers."

Darryl and Fiona Hart

"Our experience with Julie and Abbie, even though short lived, (sold after our first open home) was the best! Julie and Abbie are great communicators and the whole process was seamless from start to finish. Professional all the way! Thanks Julie and Abbie 😊"

Jane and Bretton Pearce

"Abbie and Julie were incredible to work with. From initial comprehensive market analysis in appraisal, to providing an excellent "do to list" before putting on the market (and the "if time- less for purchaser to do" list). Nothing was missed. They were available to answer all our questions throughout the whole process. Open home and private showing feedback was provided each time with useful information and temperature gauge of how property may be placed to sell, or what may be needed to get the right price. Expectations were kept realistic and when the deadline came, multi offers were presented which resulted than a higher than our initially expected price. This was our first time working with an agent who works with both seller and buyer, so we were dubious however Abbie went well and beyond ensuring both parties were well informed and happy with everything. No surprises or hidden things popped up. I would not hesitate to recommend Abbie and Julie as their professionalism and wonderful personalities made a potential stressful situation a very enjoyable process. If I could rate 10 out of 5 stars I would!"

Angus Morrison and Anne Corey

Abbie was fantastic at selling my house during the nov, dec period. She kept in constant contact, was adptable to changing the selling method to keep viewing numbers up, she kept my informed and reassured the whole way through. She is also just a lovley human who has your genuine interests at heart and wants the best for your realestate journey. Teamed with Julie Thompson the sale of my house was seamless and professional.
