Luxurious mansion on market

Looking to buy a new home in Rotorua? Now is your chance to secure one of the city's most luxurious mansions - if you have at least $1 million.

Built by the current owners in Brunswick Park, the 704sq m home boasts six double bedrooms, four bathrooms, a gym and sauna, and uninterrupted views over Rotorua.

The manor has a selection of living and leisure areas including a bar, games room and home theatre, and sits on a sculptured, fenced 8323sq m parcel of land.

Home owner Jatinder Badh has lived with his family at the Flemington Pl property for six years.

"We feel a lot of emotions about moving, especially because we built the house but with our drystock farm down the road, it is more convenient for us to move than to have to drive to the farm every day."

Mr Badh moved to New Zealand with very little more than two decades ago and set himself up by developing and selling a kiwifruit orchard.

He now owns three liquor stores around Rotorua in Fordlands, Maida Vale St and Owhata.

His daughter is currently studying at Waikato University and his son is in his final year at John Paul College.

"My children are grown and it is time we moved on. I'm sure this house will make the next family as happy as we have been."

Bayleys Rotorua manager Beth Millard said she suspected the house would attract a wide target market.

"The house is light-filled and happy, it has a theatre room, a gym and sauna, a large section and a large kitchen," she said. "We are expecting the house to go for in excess of $1 million, but it is definitely a property where the market determines its value."

She said the home was crafted to a superior standard and delivered "magnificent contemporary living and breath-taking lake views".

An auction will be held at the BNZ Partners Business Centre on February 12 at 1pm.
