This is a rare opportunity. A four bedroom, two living, 3.5 bathroom home with a spacious garage that doubles as an extra rumpus room, just barefoot minutes from the beach. Reclad by award-winning builder Dave Shaw, it sits quietly in a peaceful section off Oceanbeach Road, and has wrapped itself around a big, joyful family of seven for over a decade: absorbing surfboards, diving kit, sleepovers, hundreds of board games, and sun-kissed afternoons under the palms between swims over the road.
Their kids have grown, and now it's time to hand this love-filled, recently refurbished home to the next lucky family. This isn’t just a big house by the beach. It’s the kind of home that feels like year-round summer.
There’s no lawn to mow: just easy-care paving, established planting, and loads of room for the basketball hoop to get a workout as the sun dips low.
The layout makes sense. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two balconies – including a master with its own ensuite and morning sun on the private balcony. Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen and living space is the kind that makes family life easy. It flows to the outdoors and has a gas fire for cooler months and a built-in window seat for afternoon naps. Next door, the TV room with adjoining patio, plays movie theatre for those who want down time.
The recently reconfigured garage with built-in shelves doubles as a third living area, or a sunny home office. There’s a stylish third bathroom and a separate powder room downstairs too.
Everything in this home is designed to make life easier. You're three minutes' drive to Bayfair, ten to Mount CBD, and just fifteen to Tauranga's city centre. Cafes like Special Mention and Surf Road are just around the corner. Golf, schools, the Mount hot pools, Papamoa, and endless coastal tracks are all within reach – but somehow, this part of Oceanbeach still feels quiet and tucked away.
This kind of property – for big families, with earning potential and work-from-home flexibility – doesn’t come up often. This is a home that makes living the Mount dream a reality.
