Wynona - A home with heart
Welcome to Wynona, where country serenity meets contemporary family living. Set high on a plateau with glorious coastal and rural views, this is a home that invites you to slow down, spread out and enjoy life, all within easy reach of the city.
Built around 1905 as a charming Tauranga villa, Wynona has evolved into a distinctive family home that celebrates its heritage while embracing modern living. Gleaming native timbers, timeless character features and thoughtful contemporary design come together in a home rich in warmth, personality and possibility.
The transformation has been carefully considered, preserving the soul of the original while introducing the comforts of today. Upstairs, delightful dormer bedrooms and a bathroom provide welcoming accommodation, while French doors from both lounges open onto a generous deck, creating an effortless connection with the surrounding landscape. The modernised kitchen is the natural hub of family life, while the private master suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with an underfloor-heated ensuite and doors opening to a spa beneath the stars.
A beautifully appointed, self-contained 'coach house' beside the triple garaging adds another dimension. Ideal for grandparents, extended family, independent teenagers or guests, it also presents exciting options for working from home or pursuing creative interests. Below, a workshop and woodshed provide practical space for hobbies, projects and weekend pursuits.
Despite its generous proportions, Wynona feels wonderfully intimate. Living spaces can open for family gatherings or close off for warmth and privacy, while separate bedroom zones offer flexibility as family needs change. The kauri-panelled front office catches the morning sun, creating an inspiring place to work, study or simply enjoy a quiet moment.
Thoughtful upgrades enhance comfort without compromising character, making this a home designed to work beautifully in everyday life.
Outside, every season brings its own pleasures. Spring sees fresh foliage emerge almost overnight and tūī feeding among the flax beneath the kauri trees. Summer calls for days by the pool, open doors and cooling breezes. Autumn paints the landscape in changing hues, while winter invites you to settle beside the wood-burning stove with a good book.
For a young family seeking room to grow, a place for generations to live closer, or a household wanting the freedom to balance work, family and lifestyle, Wynona offers rare versatility. There is space to come together, room to retreat, and the opportunity to shape a home around the things that matter most.
Wynona is more than a beautiful home. It is an invitation to live well - with space to breathe, room to grow and the freedom to make your own memories, all just moments from the city.
