Welcome to Tuhua View, a home that offers not just a residence, but an experience, one of beauty, tranquility, and connection to nature.
As you make your way up the driveway, a row of standard roses greets you, leading to an entrance that sets the tone for the elegance and warmth inside. Step through the front door, and you are welcomed by an indoor garden, an enchanting feature that anchors the home, bringing nature right into your living space.
From the dining room, kitchen, lounge, and master bedroom, you will enjoy stunning views of the lush grounds and gardens, with glimpses of Mt Maunganui and Mayor Island (Tuhua) framed perfectly by mature trees. The home's thoughtful design ensures the main living areas are north-facing, bathing them in natural light and warmth throughout the day.
Imagine starting your morning with coffee on the generous shaded patio, accessible from the kitchen and dining area. In the evenings, the lounge complete with a cozy nook invites you to unwind by the striking Italian gas fire, set above a floating marble hearth, providing both radiant and convection warmth.
Comfort is paramount here. The home is equipped with an HRV system throughout, a ducted central heating system and mosquito screens on all three sliding doors leading to the indoor garden, as well as bedroom and bathroom windows.
The sense of space is undeniable, with high ceilings, wide hallways, and expansive doorways creating an open, airy feel. Recessed lit ceilings in the dining and lounge areas add an extra dimension of sophistication.
For those who love to create, tinker, or organize, the oversized double garage offers ample space for workbenches, cupboards, and shelving. A rear door leads to a recently converted Studio, complete with a kitchenette and storage. Step onto the Studio deck and take in the sight of your private home orchard, an abundant haven featuring espaliered pears, grapes, apples, Louisa plums, persimmons, feijoas, mandarins, and oranges, all fruiting, alongside large vegetable planter boxes. Elsewhere in the garden, you will find avocados, a pistachio tree, and an almond tree.
Every season brings something new to enjoy in this remarkable landscape. Carefully curated with a mix of native and exotic flowering trees and bushes, the gardens offer a constantly evolving display of colour and beauty. Whether you are an avid gardener or simply appreciate a well-designed outdoor retreat, you can be as hands-on or as relaxed as you like.
Tuhua View Garden has been recognized as a must-see destination, featured in three Bay of Plenty Garden & Art Festivals. Visitors have been captivated by the views, colours, diverse plantings, and inviting outdoor spaces. One of the most cherished spots? The macrocarpa swing seat nestled beneath a stately Scotch elm on the front lawn, a perfect place for peaceful reflection or shared moments with loved ones.
This home has been a sanctuary, a place to live, entertain, and find joy in the simple pleasures of nature. With much reluctance, due to health reasons, the time has come to pass it on to someone who will appreciate its beauty and charm.
If you are searching for a home that offers more than just walls and a roof, a place where you can truly live, then Tuhua View awaits you. Come and experience it for yourself.
