Taupo - Kinloch

Kinloch, nestled on the shores of Lake Taupo, is renowned for its breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. It’s an incredible place to live however, Kinloch is also known for its chilly winters, some of the coldest in the North Island. But worry not - building an eHaus ensures you stay warm and comfortable all year round. We are thrilled to introduce the first eHaus in Kinloch, showcasing a modern architectural take on energy efficiency. This stunning home was designed by our talented Waikato-based designer Dean Baldock. This 218 sqm home features four bedrooms, a double garage, and an open-plan living and kitchen area at the heart of the home. The fabulous decking and areas for alfresco dining make it perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings.There is no doubt that Kinloch is an amazing place to live, right on the shores of lake Taupo with views of lake and mountains that make you catch your breath. We also know that it is one of the coldest places to live through a winter in the North Island but when you build an eHaus there is no need to worry about that! We are so happy to show you this first eHaus in Kinloch with its modern architectural take on energy efficiency designed by our fantastic Waikato based designer Dean Baldock.  "When we’d been in a couple of weeks, I realised I had a pile of things to be donated: full of electric blankets, duvets, fans, and heaters."
