Shepherd Haven

Unassuming from the roadside, this spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, dual lounge home will delight all those who enter thanks to both unexpected charisma, and future potential. Perhaps best of all – it is a comparably affordable entry-point to one of Taupo’s most desirable streets and locations.

Inside the home, you’ll be warmly welcomed by two well-proportioned living areas, a sociable dining space, and a fabulous kitchen with sliding windows opening onto a delightfully private courtyard. Two generous bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom with a separate WC, and convenient laundry/scullery complete the ground floor. Upstairs, you’ll find two further roomy loft bedrooms characterised by exposed beams, and a second bathroom.

Set on 790m2 of mature grounds, behind the home you’ll enjoy a private lawn, a charming paved outdoor entertainment area adorned by grapevine, and a lined garden shed which could easily transform into a charming art studio or hobby room.

Located in the heart of Waipahihi, close to the Botanical Gardens, renowned kindergartens and schools, shops, and the lake itself, this is a superb opportunity to secure yourself a sublime Shepherd Road address.

"Real Estate Taupo recently sold our home for us. Abbie and Julie truly went above and beyond in getting our house sold in record time - they really are the complete package. They even spoke to our neighbours to let them know what was happening, and were able to organise people at short notice to help tidy up the section. We were always kept up to date as things developed, and we always felt we could trust and rely on them to be straight up and realistic. I could not recommend them more highly, it was by far the most stress free home sale process."

We have had another fantastic experience with Abbie and Julie from Real Estate Taupo. This is the second time we’ve sold a house with them and once again they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They are professional, approachable, and kept us well informed throughout the process. Nothing felt like too much trouble and their friendly, positive attitude made everything feel easy and straightforward. We’re so grateful for their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again. We highly recommend Abbie and Julie to anyone looking to buy or sell in Taupō.

Abbie and Julie made my house selling process so easy. Their honest advice and friendly persona gave comfort during such a big decision-making process. As a first-time seller, they were always happy to answer questions, no matter how big or small; and were always prompt in response. After having already relocated for work, Abbie and Julie looked after my home and belongings, giving reassurance that all was well. They even did a little bit of gardening! They are very professional, yet it felt like you were working alongside friends. For anyone looking to sell, or even buy – go with Abbie and Julie. They are fantastic and produce a great result. Thank you.
