With superlative views stretching across Lake Rotorua, this 248sqm home offers a harmonious blend of performance, ease and an outstanding connection to the landscape. Built with adventure and flexibility in mind, it supports a lock-and-leave lifestyle, with a low environmental impact. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom dwelling is slung low on its site and includes two living areas plus generous outdoor zones that make the most of the outlook. Expansive sliding doors frame ever-changing lake views and open the home to the horizon, creating a seamless transition between indoors and out. A separate lap pool stretches out behind the house which is a quiet retreat for relaxation or fitness.
Inside, the design is contemporary and inviting. Built-in bookshelves, a copper-toned splashback and natural finishes add depth and character. The main bedroom, which also opens to that view, becomes a front-row seat to watch the shifting light.
As an eHaus Euro, sustainability is built in with airtight construction, heat-recovery ventilation and high-performance joinery. Solar capability and smart-home integration add future-proof functionality. With its resilient materials and enduring sense of place, this home offers year-round comfort and strong design credentials in an exceptional lakeside setting.

At eHaus, we live like efficiency is our point, and intelligent construction our norm. We live like our environment is a privilege and protecting it our responsibility. We live like New Zealanders are our passion, and ingenuity is our response.
eHaus was established in 2010 by Jon Iliffe and Baden & Glenda Brown with the dream of creating a New Zealand owned and operated specialist design and construction company using PassivHaus build and design principles.
Jon, a Mechanical Production Engineer from Rolls Royce Motors, arrived in New Zealand and looking to build a family home went seeking out alternative options and found the PassivHaus way.
Baden, a master builder of 20 years, disillusioned with the poor performance of the high-end homes he was building for clients, also was seeking other options, and discovered PassivHaus. Together, with Jon and Glenda - Financial director, eHaus was formed.
Our eHaus team is made up of some of the country's best Passive House builders, architects and designers who are redefining the way kiwis live, one home at a time. Our team of professionals work together to see your dreams come to reality.
Today eHaus is recognised as award winning and New Zealand leaders in PassivHaus design and construction. Find out more about eHaus and our teams here: https://ehaus.co.nz/
