The French Country House
Welcome to 'The French Country House'.
Known as one of Tauranga's iconic buildings 'The French Country House' is in a class all by itself.
Exquisite in both design and execution this chocolate box, English fairytale version of a farmhouse may appear to be from centuries past, but don't let the storybook facade fool you. Completed in early 2008 this bespoke project is the culmination of two and a half years of meticulous craftsmanship.
Designed from a mental image and sketches, the inspiration came from one very creative lady whose vision began from her journey cycling through the picturesque French villages and English towns.
Perfectly positioned, high on the hillside, with unparalleled views of the rural surrounds and the Mount beyond. As you step through the enchanting entranceway, you can instantly feel the warmth and care that went into every detail.
