Surrounded by rolling hills and native bush, this 297sqm home offers a refined take on rural living. Designed in close collaboration with the owners, the single-level layout prioritises privacy, indoor– outdoor flow and timeless comfort. Set across two wings, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home includes an office, mudroom and separate media lounge, enclosed with barn doors and warmed by a gas fireplace. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area opens to expansive covered decking through large sliders, inviting both everyday relaxation and entertaining. A vaulted entry and gabled portico frame the arrival.

The material palette blends texture and durability, with stonework, painted brick and modern cladding softened by grooved soffits and a composite deck with the warmth of timber. Inside, black cabinetry with brass accents, a scalloped feature wall and bespoke bathroom fittings provide elegant contrast. The main suite is a private haven with ensuite and walk-in robe, while guest bedrooms are thoughtfully separated for comfort. Ducted heating, a butler’s pantry and a central media hub add to the home’s easy functionality. With views to Mount Maunganui, curated landscaping and tranquil water features, this home captures the beauty of its location, while delivering on both lifestyle and design.
