A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!

Retro Waterfront Home with Exceptional Views

Properties of this calibre rarely come to market—this is one of those unique opportunities.

Set on a half-acre waterfront site with breathtaking views, this home offers a rare blend of timeless elegance, solid construction, and privacy. With its traditional construction, this home retains its original character while offering a perfect balance of security, privacy, and tranquility, all complemented by panoramic water views.

After more than sixty years of cherished family ownership, this home is now being offered to the market for the very first time. From this prime location, you’ll enjoy sweeping, 180-degree views of Tauranga city, the harbour, stretching all the way to Mount Maunganui and beyond. The ever-changing vista provides a captivating display, from vibrant sunrises to sparkling city lights after dark—a truly breathtaking, “around-the-clock” experience.

Set on a prestigious 2125sqm site, this property boasts over half an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, combining tropical and native plantings to create a peaceful and private sanctuary.

Inspired by the work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the home is a spacious retreat, ideal for family living, with direct access to swimming, boating, and fishing—right at your doorstep. There are no roads to cross, or no large parks to share, just simply direct access from the home to the harbour.

The home is framed by well-established pohutukawa trees, native flora, and palms, enhancing the relaxed, coastal New Zealand atmosphere, while also maintaining complete privacy. All this sanctuary, yet with handy access to Mt Maunganui, Rotorua, Whakatane, Hamilton and of course Tauranga CBD.

The owners have invested significant care and resources into landscaping and robust retaining, over several years, taking full advantage of the sloping site to create stunning gardens and multiple intimate viewing areas—each designed to capture and enhance the magnificent vistas.

This home offers so much—ample living options, room to move, triple car garaging, and the flexibility to customise the layout to suit your lifestyle. It is the north-facing aspect, the solid construction, all-day sun and the commanding views, that make this property standout among its peers.

Opportunities to acquire properties of this calibre are extremely rare and need to be seen to be appreciated. Combined with its numerous features and benefits, this truly is special.

A “Once in a Lifetime Opportunity.” Don’t miss your chance to own this iconic piece of Tauranga waterfront history. Call today to arrange your private viewing.
