Pauanui North Ridge: Exclusive homes close to walking and biking trails and the harbour, with a peaceful natural setting
Over the years, we’ve been involved in building many homes on the Waterways and other pockets of Pauanui, gaining a deep understanding of what makes Pauanui such a special place. Today, our focus is on the North Ridge Estate development — a hidden gem offering prime Pauanui living. We’ve watched this area grow from farmland into a thriving community, and it’s a place both residents and holiday-goers love. At Connect Homes, we aim to enhance the scale and quality of architectural homes here, creating designs that complement the area while offering modern, thoughtful living. Have a look below to see what we might have for you and discover how our homes could fit into this remarkable location.
The Tri-Pod House
6 Inspired Way, Pauanui
This is a confident, architecturally designed holiday home that feels peaceful, playful, and completely unique. Funky and one of a kind, it’s built to stand apart — your mates won’t have a bach like this. A bold cedar street presence and plunge pool living set the tone from the outset.
Designed by Uami Architects, the home sits quietly among the bush with partial harbour views. It offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a north-facing master, a media room, and a large island kitchen with feature walls throughout. Indoor–outdoor flow connects to expansive decking, while a double carpeted garage with integrated laundry adds everyday ease.
This is not a standard Pauanui bach. It’s a high-quality, design-led spec home on an exceptional section, with final finishing touches underway and additional elements already planned and included. A rare opportunity for buyers who want something different — and done right.
