Description
Commanding an elevated position on the Hinewa ridgeline, this 2024-built 290 sqm (approx.) residence is the epitome of modern sophistication. With awe-inspiring views over Mauao, the inner harbour, Pilot Bay, and the Port of Tauranga, this architecturally designed home—clad in EZpanel and Nu-Wall—makes an unforgettable first impression. Built to endure, it
features high-grade double glazing and zoned ducted heating for year-round comfort. Step inside to a world of monochromatic elegance. The grand double-height entrance hall dazzles with bespoke twin-disc lighting, setting the tone for what lies beyond. A sleek, glass-balustraded staircase leads upstairs to expansive open-plan living spaces, where a backlit coffered ceiling and exquisite timber flooring highlight the home’s contemporary flair. The kitchen, scullery, dining, and living zones flow seamlessly together, bathed in natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the sweeping views. Built-in seating and a wall-mounted media system enhance the sense of calm sophistication. Stacking sliders open to a covered balcony — the perfect vantage point to enjoy glittering city lights and golden sunsets. The award-winning Sticks + Stones-designed kitchen and bathrooms showcase luxurious finishes, rich custom cabinetry, and high-end Fisher & Paykel appliances — a dream for the most discerning chef. Accommodation is equally refined. The master suite enjoys its own Mount outlook and
features a palatial ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. On the lower level, additional bedrooms connect to a stylish media room with a wet bar and access to a private deck overlooking manicured, fenced lawns — ideal for relaxed entertaining or quiet retreat. Practicality and luxury meet in every detail, from the hydraulic elevator and vast internal-access garage to the extensive storage throughout. Located in the sought-after Pillans Point School zone, and just minutes from Cherrywood Village and the Tauranga CBD, this 580 sqm (approx.) freehold property redefines low-maintenance, high-end living.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
