TE MANA

23 Te Auhi Way, Welcome Bay

A stunning "Contemporary Farm House" respectfully settled into the landscape atop a limited number of desirable homes in the exclusive Mana Ridge lifestyle enclave.

New in 2018 from the drawing board of Adam Taylor, this home achieves a remarkable balance of beautiful, practical, and high-performance design, with its timeless quality elements, separation of living and sleeping wings, and passive design principles. Only the best fittings, fixtures, and providers were selected for inclusion in this build, including Halliday + Baillie, Verkart, Blackmores, James Dunlop, Plumbline, Anchor Ceramics, and Twill Interiors, to name just a few.

A designer lifestyle property with epic views, space, and countless leisure options for the family. The increasingly desirable convenience of a central location offers easy connection to the Mount Beach, major shopping centres, and the Tauranga Airport.

    HA LAND AREA

Arrival off the end of peaceful Riverstone Drive leads up scenic Te Auhi Way (with its exclusive 13 large-lot residences) to the property set at the top of the site. Extensive views of the city, Mauao, and the BOP coastline immediately impress.

The arrivals area is tastefully landscaped with a Tuscan feel, and interesting architectural elements are teased on approach to the front door. Entry onto an arrivals landing connects the garaging, first floor, living and accommodation wings; it is bathed in north-facing light and spectacular views.

Stepping down into the living wing, the scale and intricacies of this space become immediately apparent. Soaring cathedral ceilings and the intelligent layout of the kitchen with  a large fully equipped scullery, dining area, and living space with gas fire and office nook, make this an incredible heart of the home. Connection to the outdoors and the views has, of course, been prioritized.

Beyond the main living area is the recently added alfresco. This substantial space is divided into informal living and dining areas, anchored by an impressive Argentinian BBQ that is equal parts form and function. Large glass sliders connect the views, pool, and sunken fire pit to this year-round, idyllic, family and entertainers space.

The heated saltwater pool, deck, and separate sunken outdoor seating area with a gas fire, take an infinity position at the edge of the lawn; where all-day sun and day-and-night views can be enjoyed.

The entry to the accommodation wing provides a guest powder room to service the living area. Further in, two generous bedrooms are supported by a stylish family bathroom complete with a spa bath.

The acoustically insulated master suite occupies the eastern end of this wing. A large dressing room is beautifully fitted out with "his and hers" sides, and the ensuite prioritizes a large walk-in wet room shower and long double vanity. This master delivers on the expectation of privacy and luxury befitting a dwelling of this nature and, like the other bedrooms, enjoys direct outdoor connection to a north-facing deck space.

Above the suitably sized internal-access double garage sits a large bedroom/living space and ensuite. Originally conceived as office space, it is equally suited as a guest bedroom, gym, additional living area, or hobby space.

The ground floor of the home offers hydronic underfloor heating, with a ducted heat pump servicing the accommodation wing for summertime cooling. Upstairs, comfort is achieved with a fan coil wall unit and motorized Velux skylights. Windows are thoughtfully dressed with blinds and shutters as needed and uniquely the home features a fire safety sprinkler system throughout. Additionally the home features a significant 14kW solar array and Tesla Battery wall.

A romantic and protected courtyard area, reminiscent of a Tuscan vineyard, provides an additional outdoor living option, while a fully fenced yard area provides a secure space for young children and pets.

Immaculate, striking, but sympathetic landscape design by Michelle McDonnell separates the formal landscape from the privacy buffer of the larger portion of the section below, with its natural topography and planting. There is space to run wild, leave as a habitat, or cultivate areas for further use or interest.

Opportunities for designer central lifestyle with views to match doesn’t get much better than this.
