Overview

THE ITALIAN JOB

NOW SOLD (October 2020) This world-class, multi-award winning home of magnificent proportions occupies its own private spot on the sought-after, gated peninsula known as Tides Reach. The current owners once farmed the land and were fortunate to have the first pick of sites when the land was developed. What they selected is arguably the most spectacular position on the entire Te Puna estuary. The main living, master suite and all the bedrooms in this large home look out on the magnificence of a water view, framed by plenty of greenery. Huge expanses of glass - including a deep window in the master suite upstairs - ensure maximum enjoyment of the commanding outlook. One would be hard-pressed to see any other houses when taking in this vista. Featuring: • Pride of position on the Western Bay of Plenty waterfront, a private, sheltered North facing absolute waterfront position. • Future proofed elevation with easy direct water connection. • A coastal estate with the feel of an island and the convenience of a suburb. • Substantial, high-quality build designed by one of Tauranga preeminent architects Dennis Pocock. • StoPoren Plaster (no painting required) and Portuguese Clay Tile roof for a durable and authentic Mediterranean aesthetic. • Large Scullery/ancillary kitchen. • Sprawling indoor outdoor flow connects occupants with the special nature of the site. • Pavilion Room with a stratospheric stud and Jet Master Fireplace ensures comfortable entertaining all year round. • Geothermal bore efficiently heats both floors. • Vast high-stud 4+ car internal access garaging with additional storage loft space. • First floor master suite and kitchenette with 27m2 balcony and lift shaft in place.
