8 Montiicola Drive, Papamoa, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

This is more than a home, it's a showpiece of modern design where architecture, craftsmanship, and comfort align with effortless ease.

From the street, the bold gable lines, decorative concrete, and sleek fencing set a tone of quiet confidence. Step through the digital entry and into the home's centrepiece, an atrium style courtyard framed by boardwalks and soft lighting. It's a calm, sculptural space that brings light and life to every room around it.

Inside, the layout flows with precision. Raked ceilings and Italian ceramic tiles define the open plan living area, anchored by a designer kitchen finished in Dekton benchtops, Laminam splashbacks, and illuminated shelving, a $50,000 investment in detail. The adjoining scullery keeps the daily essentials out of sight but always within reach.

Two living zones allow for both connection and retreat. The formal lounge, with its gas fireplace and Luna wood sarked ceiling, creates an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy. The main living area, complete with a second indoor-outdoor fireplace, offers a space to gather and unwind in year round comfort.

Seamless indoor-outdoor flow is achieved through full height doors that open to dual alfresco zones, perfect for year round entertaining.

The master suite is positioned for privacy, opening directly to the rear courtyard. Dual wardrobes and a tiled ensuite with spa like finishes deliver a touch of quiet luxury. Three additional bedrooms offer flexibility, one with exterior access - ideal as a home office or guest suite. A powder room sits alongside the family bathroom, maintaining the same refined palette and design continuity.

Throughout, the craftsmanship speaks for itself, from custom cabinetry and lighting to the fully insulated, carpeted garage with attic storage. Behind the scenes, ducted heating, gas systems, and full alarm security ensure complete comfort and peace of mind. Lush, low maintenance landscaping frames the home beautifully, and generous off street parking adds a layer of everyday practicality.

A winner of the 2023 House of the Year Gold Medal, this GenX creation represents the pinnacle of show home design, pristine, untouched, and ready for its very first owners.

Positioned within the Palm Springs precinct, it's moments from top schools, main routes, and The Sands town centre. A home of rare calibre, crafted as a true expression of the art of living at its finest.
