Elevated Lake Views

Elevated above Lake Waikare, 105a Rawson Road offers a rare sense of space, outlook and calm. With sweeping views across the lake and surrounding farmland, this is a home designed to sit quietly within its landscape while making the most of its remarkable position. Set on 1.6 hectares, the 250sqm (approx) brick and cedar home features high-stud ceilings throughout, creating a light, airy feel from the moment you step inside. The large open plan kitchen, living and dining area is perfectly oriented to capture the expansive lake views, forming the heart of the home.

The kitchen is both functional and refined, highlighted by a feature recessed ceiling, generous workspace, stone benchtop, butlers’ pantry and a servery-style bench that opens to the outdoor area — creating an easy, social connection between inside and out. Large doors extend the living space to a generous outdoor entertaining area, where the elevated views provide a stunning backdrop for relaxed gatherings, long meals, or quiet moments taking in the ever-changing outlook.

Accommodation is well considered, offering three genuine double bedrooms, a separate office area, and two bathrooms, including an ensuite to the master complete with a walk-in wardrobe. The layout balances privacy with openness, making it ideal for families, guests, or those working from home. Year-round comfort is assured with a wood burner, ducted central heating and cooling throughout the living areas and bedrooms, and is complemented by double glazing for warmth, efficiency, and quiet.

The property is exceptionally well set up for lifestyle living. Three-car garaging comprising a single and a double internal-access garage, complemented by a separate 9m x 4m boat shed and an additional standalone utility shed ideal for storage or projects. There is also plenty of off-street parking, accessed via a long private concrete driveway that reinforces the sense of privacy and arrival.

The grounds are beautifully established and easy to maintain, featuring a productive selection of fruit trees including feijoas, olives, bananas, lemon, lime, peaches, pear, fig, mandarin and orange. Peaceful, elevated, and undeniably beautiful, this is a lifestyle property where outlook, comfort, and thoughtful design come together in a truly special setting.
