White Lotus resort living
Step into a world where space, privacy and relaxed luxury come together in one of Tauranga's most tightly held lifestyle enclaves. Set well back from the road on a substantial 3,241sqm site, this impressive solid timber and block residence delivers the kind of scale and versatility that's becoming increasingly rare.
From the moment you arrive, the home reveals itself as more than a house; it's a private retreat. Designed to embrace the outdoors at every turn, the layout creates seamless flow between expansive interiors and sun-drenched alfresco living, making everyday life feel like a permanent holiday in the Bay of Plenty.
At the heart of the home is a generously proportioned kitchen and family living zone positioned to capture northern light. This is a true entertainer's hub, extensive bench space, sinks each side and clever sightlines to the pool mean hosting is effortless whether guests are gathered inside or spilling out onto the covered terraces. Windows and serving access connect directly to the outdoor areas, keeping the cook part of the action while kids swim and friends relax nearby.
Multiple living spaces provide flexibility for families of all stages. A character-filled lounge with open fire offers a cosy winter retreat, while air conditioning adds year-round comfort. A spacious open plan dining and living room opens through French doors to a resort-inspired pool and spa complex, framed by tropical planting, wide paving and a gazebo that completes the holiday atmosphere. Thanks to the property's own hot water bore, the pool can be economically heated for extended seasonal use, a rare and valuable feature.
Accommodation is spread across two levels, offering privacy and separation when needed. Upstairs, the master suite is a true sanctuary, complete with its own lounge, balcony access, dual walk-in wardrobes and a skylit ensuite. An additional upper-level bedroom also enjoys natural light from overhead skylights, ideal as a guest room or creative space.
Downstairs, four further bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility. Several open directly outdoors, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection and creating options for teenagers, guests or work-from-home living. An office near the foyer adds further versatility, while the layout easily supports multigenerational living or future reconfiguration to add value.
Practicality hasn't been forgotten. Extensive garaging sits beneath the home, accessed via a wide side driveway with ample off-street parking, ideal for multiple vehicles, boats or trailers.
Beyond the house, the grounds unfold into a park-like setting with sweeping lawns, mature native and exotic trees, and a productive home orchard. It's a setting that feels worlds away from the city, yet remains remarkably close to Tauranga's CBD, Mount Maunganui, Bethlehem Town Centre and key transport routes north and south.
This is a property that offers not just lifestyle, but future potential " space to personalise, enhance, or simply enjoy as-is in complete privacy within the established Westridge community.
