With superlative views stretching across Lake Rotorua, this 248sqm home offers a harmonious blend of performance, ease and an outstanding connection to the landscape. Built with adventure and flexibility in mind, it supports a lock-and-leave lifestyle, with a low environmental impact. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom dwelling is slung low on its site and includes two living areas plus generous outdoor zones that make the most of the outlook. Expansive sliding doors frame ever-changing lake views and open the home to the horizon, creating a seamless transition between indoors and out. A separate lap pool stretches out behind the house —a quiet retreat for relaxation or fitness.

Inside, the design is contemporary and inviting. Built-in bookshelves, a copper-toned splashback and natural finishes add depth and character. The main bedroom, which also opens to that view, becomes a front-row seat to watch the shifting light. Sustainability is built in, with eHaus Euro standard, airtight construction, heat-recovery ventilation and high-performance joinery. Solar capability and smart-home integration add future-proof functionality. With its resilient materials and enduring sense of place, this home offers year-round comfort and strong design credentials in an exceptional lakeside setting.
