River Retreat

This charming 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom property with a double garage is but a moment away from the renowned Waitahanui River, where anglers can revel in world-class trout fishing from a variety of abundant pools, and everyone can enjoy walking or running along the scenic trails extending for kilometres through native bush alongside the river. What’s more, the pristine waters of Lake Taupo are equally nearby, ideal for swimming and boating.

In a relaxed style akin to its setting, this appealing home is characterised by an open-plan lay-out, high ceilings with exposed beams, poured concrete kitchen bench-tops and mosaic splash-backs, a sunny deck, veggie patches, and a front yard planted with mature natives and fruit trees. What’s more, the 870m2 (more or less) of freehold land holds the potential to subdivide (subject to consent), whether now, or in the future.

While you’ll love the slower pace of this idyllic location, convenience is also only a 5 minute drive away thanks to the new Countdown supermarket and Landing entertainment centre in Taupo South.

"Abbie and Julie of Real Estate Taupo were professional and knowledgeable, and their presentation and enthusiasm was exceptional throughout the selling process of our home. We were continually updated on progress, and we have no hesitation in recommending them. Certainly the best real estate experience we have ever had."

Graham and Helen Scanlen

Group 165

"Julie developed a unique marketing strategy that show cased the best features of our Property. Julie's communication was outstanding, providing prompt updates from each showing. Julie's professionalism combined with a personalized and honest approach, resulted in a swift and pleasing Sale. We highly recommend Julie for her exceptional service. Julie we sincerely thank you. Judy & Keith"

Judy and Keith Pearsey

"Thank you Abbie for all your work, you have been amazing to deal with and have done a fabulous job."

Karen Gallen

"Abbie was a very warm, professional and hardworking agent. In our circumstance she handled all the contractors needed to prepare the house for sale and kept us well informed of potential buyers. I would recommend her and I feel got more personal service than from a perhaps a bigger franchise."

Cara Nowell

"Abbie made this entire process so easy, she is very professional and empathetic at the same time. We chose Abbie because she stood out from other agents, she was willing to go the extra mile, not sit behind email. She does her homework and uses her broad local knowledge to find potential buyers with realistic offers. She took the time to meet face to face and kept me updated. We couldn’t be happier with her efficiency, communication and ability to find the right buyers at the right price. Absolutely recommend Abbie to everyone."

Sue Murray

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

"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

"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

I truly believe it doesn’t get any better than Abbie and Julie. As a mid twenties female I have struggled with other agencies with not feeling heard, or understanding the lingo and processes. Right from my initial inquiry Abbie was quick and thorough with her communication, everything was explained to me in words I could understand, and I left my first meeting well informed, with all my questions answered and I felt confident in the process. Every step of the way from there on out the communication was regular and thorough, the photos turned out amazing, the advertising was top tier, all of my open homes were busy and the detailed feedback reports after each open home were super helpful. The final sale process was smooth and throughout the entire process nothing was too much for them. It was very clear to me throughout the process that Abbie and Julie do this because they totally love it, all communication goes directly through them, there’s no personal assistants or office ladies, the whole experience is personal. I can not recommend Abbie and Julie enough, there is something very special about the way they work, Buying or selling they’re definitely the ones you want on your team!

Sarah-Jean Campbell

"Fantastic agent very professional, great market knowledge excellent communacation leading to a stress free sale .. I have brought and sold half a dozen properties and Abbie and Julie have been the best agents I've ever dealt with , I would highly recommend them to any one selling or buying."

This charming 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom property with a double garage is but a moment away from the renowned Waitahanui River, where anglers can revel in world-class trout fishing from a variety of abundant pools, and everyone can enjoy walking or running along the scenic trails extending for kilometres through native bush alongside the river. What’s more, the pristine waters of Lake Taupo are equally nearby, ideal for swimming and boating.

In a relaxed style akin to its setting, this appealing home is characterised by an open-plan lay-out, high ceilings with exposed beams, poured concrete kitchen bench-tops and mosaic splash-backs, a sunny deck, veggie patches, and a front yard planted with mature natives and fruit trees. What’s more, the 870m2 (more or less) of freehold land holds the potential to subdivide (subject to consent), whether now, or in the future.
