30B Pitau Road, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Positioned on a 353m² freehold site beside an ancient pohutukawa—one of the Bay of Plenty’s most treasured natural landmarks—this brand new 281.6m² architectural residence comprises four bedrooms, three bathrooms, expansive open-plan living on the upper level, a fully resolved secondary living environment on the ground floor, an internal lift and a commanding light filled staircase ensuring effortless movement across its dual living configuration.

Conceived with uncompromising intent, the home is a direct architectural response to the remarkable presence of the pohutukawa.

Natural materials and controlled light define the interiors, while deliberate sightlines establish a constant dialogue with Mauao and the surrounding landscape. Living spaces across both levels—including the master suite—open outward, reinforcing a sense of calm, privacy, and connection to place rarely found in Mount Maunganui, and rarer still in Downtown Mount.

Cafés, restaurants, and boutique retail sit moments from the door. The Mount’s iconic surf beach lies an easy six-minute walk away, with the sheltered waters of Pilot Bay closer still.

Architecture & Craftsmanship Realised from the owner’s vision in collaboration with architect Mark Carnachan and built by Calley Homes, the home demonstrates a unique architectural mimicry of nature.

A rare four-way hip roof and vaulted ceiling, forming a canopy of volume and light. Architectural pelmets for full-length drapery maintain clean visual lines, while cedar-clad structural pillars echo the rhythm of the pohutukawa's ancient trunks, grounding the home within its environment.

Cedar cladding references aged bark, while precast concrete panels introduce privacy and permanence, glass balustrades allow uninterrupted connection, and a marine-grade outdoor shower is seamlessly integrated - all reflecting the colours and textures of the coastal environment.

Expansive Thermal Heart double glazing frames the silhouettes of the pillars internally, while skylights within the hip roof draw natural light deep into the home, creating an evolving interplay of light and shadow. The material palette is refined and enduring: European oak flooring, Vidaspace oak veneer, Italian lighting, glass balustrades with a sculptural timber stair, and a bespoke cedar privacy screen — each element executed to an exceptional standard.

Kitchen & Living The upper level is arranged for both daily living and entertaining, with two voluminous master suites featuring bespoke wardrobes. An expansive living domain extends to decks on either side. At its centre, a sculptural kitchen pairs function with artistry. A statement island extending beyond four metres is finished in European Vidaspace oak veneer and Tundra marble. Dekton surfaces ensure durability, while Blum joinery, integrated storage, premium appliances, and Italian tapware complete the heart of the home.

Secondary Living The ground floor is configured as a fully independent suite, incorporating two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living space and a bespoke kitchenette.

Cedar transitions from exterior to interior enveloping the kitchenette, maintaining a cohesive architectural language, while polished concrete floors provide durability suited to coastal living. The kitchenette features a Tundra marble benchtop, custom cabinetry, floating shelving, and premium appliances — delivering a complete and highly functional space.

Spa Experience Each of the three bathrooms is designed as a private retreat, with an emphasis on material continuity and sensory calm.

Italian tapware is paired with custom cabinetry, custom solid-surface countertops, and push-to-open detailing. Floor-to-ceiling tiling and underfloor heating enhance comfort, while rain-sensor skylights introduce natural light through sculptural shafts — elevating the daily ritual.

Functionality & Comfort Keyless entry provides seamless access. The double garage includes EV charging, complemented by an adjoining well-appointed laundry with generous storage and premium appliances.

An internal lift connects both levels, ensuring ease of movement throughout the home. Ducted Daikin climate control integrates with passive design, supported by Thermal Heart technology, enhanced insulation, and acoustic separation. The secondary living environment is independently serviced by Daikin heat pumps. Sensor lighting enables intuitive movement day and night.

30B Pitau Road represents a truly unique architectural statement — a brand new residence of remarkable quality, never lived in and uniquely positioned beside the ancient pohutukawa, offering a rare sense of connection to nature.
