This is a rare opportunity. A five bedroom, three living, 3.5 bathroom home just barefoot minutes from the beach. Tucked quietly in a peaceful section off Oceanbeach Road and reclad by Dave Shaw, an award winning builder, this home has wrapped itself around a big, joyful family of seven for over a decade: absorbing surfboards, diving kit, sleepovers, hundreds of board games, and sun-kissed afternoons under the palms.
Their kids have grown, and now it's time to hand this, love-filled, recently refurbished home to the next lucky family. This isn’t just a big house by the beach. It’s the kind of home that feels like year-round summer.
There’s no lawn to mow: just easy-care paving, established planting, and loads of room for the basketball hoop to get a workout as the sun dips low.
Inside, the bunk room becomes a movie cave, and the open-plan kitchen, dining and living room draws everyone back in for one more game of cards before bed.
The layout makes sense. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two balconies- including a master with its own ensuite and morning sun on the private balcony. Downstairs, the fifth bedroom is the bunk room, and the third living a flexible space that’s been used as a rumpus and bedroom, or a sunny home office. There’s a stylish third bathroom and a separate powder room downstairs too.
The open-plan kitchen and living space is the kind that makes family life easy. It flows to the outdoors and has a gas fire for cooler months and a built-in window seat for afternoon naps. Next door, the TV room with adjoining patio, plays movie theatre for those who want down time.
Everything in this home is designed to make life easier. You're three minutes' drive to Bayfair, ten to Mount CBD, and just fifteen to Tauranga's city centre. Cafes like Special Mention and Surf Road are just around the corner. Golf, schools, the Mount hot pools, Papamoa, and endless coastal tracks are all within reach - but somehow, this part of Oceanbeach still feels quiet and tucked away.
This kind of property - for big families, with earning potential and work-from-home flexibility - doesn’t come up often. This is a home that makes living the Mount dream a reality.
