Not all homes are created equal. Some are nice. Some are stylish. And then some walk in, steal the spotlight, and make every other house look like the support act. This 7 Star Eco Home in the heart of The Lakes is absolutely that home.

Built for those who love a little luxury without ditching the smart stuff, this place is packed with clever eco features that make life easier, fresher, and far more fabulous. Let’s start with the 2000L water tank, fed from the roof and filtered for use in the washing machine, toilets, and tap water. That’s right, filtered water flowing through the home like the VIP treatment it is. And yes, that makes the ensuite rain shower feel even more glorious. Imagine standing there under that beautiful stream of filtered water, Hair thriving. Skin glowing. Bills behaving. Elite.

Solar water heating, which means long showers, dreamy baths, and zero guilt about using the good hot water. Because in this house, practical and fabulous are clearly in a serious relationship.

In the heart of the home, the kitchen is ready to show off. Not only is it sleek and social, it also has interchangeable coloured drawer and cupboard fronts so you can switch up the look whenever the mood strikes. Season change? New vibe? Feeling a little dramatic? Go for it. Honestly, that is rockstar behaviour and we are here for it.

Outdoor flow is next level, the deck opening beautifully from the dining, kitchen, lounge, making summer entertaining an absolute dream. Throw open the doors, pour the cocktails, invite the crew. In the cooler months, this home still hits the spot, warm and made for hot chocolate, soft slippers, and those smug little moments where you realise your house is better than everyone else’s. Politely, of course.

With the park just steps away, the kids or grandkids can burn off energy on the swings, test their stomachs on the spin stuff, and attempt that hilarious post-spin walk. Explore all the Lakes tracks, or zip down to Tauranga Crossing.
