Lota House, Heritage estate in Lota, Australia.

Lota House is a two-storeyed rendered brick villa begun in 1865–66 at 162 Oceana Terrace, Lota. Its entrance faces south while the principal rooms overlook Moreton Bay to the east; a dairy truncates the ground-floor verandahs at the southwest corner. A detached kitchen and servants' quarters were linked by a covered walkway, and a timber two-storey wing was added at the rear in 1908.

Lota House's earliest section, a two-storeyed rendered brick residence, was built in 1865–66 for Irish-born settler William Duckett White and his wife Jane on about 240 acres. Their grandson Duckett White bought it in 1908 and engaged architect Claude William Chambers for timber extensions, including a billiard room and service wing. In 1957 Edwin Marsden Tooth left £500,000 to the Anglican Church, which bought the house from Kathleen Mylne and opened the Edwin Marsden Tooth Memorial Home.

The name Lota comes from the estate of William Duckett White, whose family held the property until 1913, when Graham Ernest Mylne bought it; his widow Kathleen sold it to the Anglican Church in 1957. Edwin Marsden Tooth's £500,000 bequest funded the aged care home, and the house is still known as the Edwin Marsden Tooth Memorial Home.

The house stands at 162 Oceana Terrace, reached by a driveway lined with pine trees planted around 1911, when the estate was subdivided. The remnant eucalypt woodland along the southeast and southwest boundaries runs over the cliff above The Esplanade and is protected by a Brisbane City Council vegetation order. The grounds were reduced to just under 10 acres after 1911.

The gardens were designed according to Jane White's original plan, reflecting her personal vision for the estate. The woodland on the grounds is recognized by Brisbane City Council's Conservation Atlas for its biological importance to the region.
