Auction: 1pm, Wednesday 5 August 2026 (unless sold prior) held at Bayleys Auction Rooms, 247 Cameron Road, Tauranga. Set within 3029sqm more or less of landscaped and established grounds, this is a lifestyle property that reveals its quality in layers, through scale, strong material choices, privacy, and the ease of the way it lives.
There is an immediate sense of substance here. Stained cedar, real weatherboard, Colorsteel roofing, polished concrete floors, extra-high ceilings and generous double glazing give the home a strong, enduring design language, while outdoor living and a heated saltwater pool create a setting made for relaxed family life and effortless entertaining.
With approximately 382sqm of total floor area, the property combines a 259sqm (more or less) main residence with a separate 123sqm(more or less) studio/garage, offering far more than a standard family home. There is space for vehicles, hobbies, guests, teenagers, work-from-home life, extended family and poolside living, all within an environment that feels private, green and beautifully established. It is polished without feeling precious, substantial without feeling formal, and highly practical in all the ways that matter.
The main residence is beautifully composed, with a layout designed around connection, comfort and everyday ease. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone forms the natural hub of the home. An enormous kitchen island anchors the space, the place everyone will gravitate to for conversation, platters, drinks, homework, morning coffee and the easy rhythm of daily life. The kitchen includes gas cooking, an electric oven, integrated rangehood and dish drawers, while a large walk-in scullery with second sink keeps the practical side of living tucked neatly away. From here, the outlook is superb. You can imagine watching the property come to life, the home feeling full and social without ever feeling forced. It is a home designed to be enjoyed and properly lived in; equally capable of holding a busy, energetic household as it is of offering calm when the day slows down.
A separate media room creates a more intimate retreat, complete with gas fire set into a feature cedar paneled wall with television above. Positioned nearby, the wet bar adds a considered entertaining detail, while a large door allows this zone to be closed off when desired. This room opens to its own deck and out across a broad expanse of lawn. A large picture window also frames an outlook back toward the pool, giving the space connection while still allowing it to feel like its own quiet retreat.
Accommodation includes four bedrooms plus a dedicated office. The primary suite opens to the decking and connects beautifully with the poolside environment. It includes a ceiling fan, large walk-in wardrobe and tiled ensuite with double vanity and double shower. The remaining bedrooms are supported by a family bathroom, giving the home the practicality required for families, guests, or those who simply want room to spread out.
Comfort is well covered with temperature-controlled ducted heating and cooling and 18 solar panels of approximately 6.5kW to help support everyday efficiency. The oversized internal double garage and generous off-street parking add further functionality.
Outdoor living is central to the way this property works, with the home connecting to the grounds in more than one direction. Purpleheart decking flanks the main entertaining areas, including a covered deck that draws from the everyday living spaces and features a drop-down blind for comfort and flexibility. Beyond this, the huge, heated saltwater pool creates a resort-style centrepiece, generous, private, and perfectly positioned for long summer days, evening swims and relaxed weekends at home.
The primary suite connects directly with this poolside setting as does the open plan living, while the formal living area opens separately to a deck overlooking the lawn, giving the home multiple ways to enjoy the outdoors depending on the time of day, season, or occasion. A fire pit area adds another relaxed gathering point, while the post-and-rail frontage, generous lawn and established planting create room for children, pets, entertaining and everyday lifestyle ease.
Separate from the main dwelling, the 123sqm (more or less) studio/garage adds valuable flexibility while reflecting the same quality as the main home. The garaging offers four-car tandem parking — two wide and two deep — ideal for vehicles, storage, hobbies, tools or lifestyle equipment. Internal access leads you into two studio-style spaces, including a larger open-plan room currently used as a Pilates studio, opening to its own private deck. There is a second separate room plus a bathroom. Plumbing and wiring are in place for a sink and oven, noting consent would be required should these be connected. This is a home of real depth, flexibility and lifestyle ease.
