Tucked between city and sea, Matua is a leafy peninsula of established homes and mature gardens, with the soft shimmer of Tauranga Harbour never far away. Here, in the heart of this cherished suburb, Ardea Terrace brings something new: 26 architecturally designed homes created for people who want style, ease and a life well lived.
EFFORTLESS EVERYDAY LIVING
Imagine a home designed to feel light, calm and beautifully considered from the moment you arrive. A generous open-plan layout will flow naturally from kitchen to dining to lounge, so cooking for friends never means missing the conversation. A designer kitchen will anchor the living space, complete with sleek engineered stone benchtops and premium BOSCH European appliances for effortless weeknight dinners and relaxed weekend entertaining.
This listing spotlights the three-bedroom homes, the only two in the development. Set in end-of-row positions, each will offer approximately 116 m² of living space over two levels. Upstairs, the main bedroom will have its own ensuite, with a separate family bathroom serving the other two bedrooms. Both the ensuite and the family bathroom will be fully tiled from floor to ceiling for a sleek, contemporary finish. Downstairs, a laundry with an additional toilet adds everyday convenience, ideal for families and guests. From the upper level, enjoy views towards Tauranga Harbour and the Kaimai Range. Clean, modern colour schemes will create a fresh backdrop for your own style, with quality fixtures and fittings throughout. Built to be robust, warm and dry, these homes are designed for less time on upkeep and more time for living, with solar panels fitted to help reduce power costs. Each will come with a dedicated car park.
LANDSCAPING AND OUTDOOR SPACES
The landscaping at Ardea Terrace will blend native plantings with feature trees, soft lawns and textured paths, giving the development a fresh, natural setting.
Each home will have its own private outdoor living area, with paved patios and timber paling fences between neighbours for privacy. Lemon and lime trees are planned within the landscaping, adding a delicious, productive touch to the gardens.
Throughout the development, native kōwhai and tītoki trees will be planted alongside maple and magnolia feature trees and layers of lush, low-maintenance groundcovers and grasses. An existing protected tree will be retained, adding a sense of maturity from day one.
Beyond your front door, landscaped communal areas with timber bench seating will offer a peaceful spot to pause, chat with neighbours or enjoy the afternoon sun.
Thoughtful everyday touches have been planned, including a lockable bike shed, a fold-down clothesline and letterbox for every home, a bike rack for visitors, secure pin-code gate access from Levers Road, permeable paved car parking, exposed aggregate driveways and outdoor lighting throughout the communal spaces. More than 1,000 m² of lawn and gardens will be spread across the site.
CONNECTED, CONVENIENT, COMMUNITY-MINDED
Matua offers a quiet, peaceful setting with Tauranga's city centre only 10 to 15 minutes' drive away, and a good bus service too. Families will appreciate the highly regarded Matua Primary School nearby and easy access to Ōtūmoetai schools and shopping. When the beach calls, Mount Maunganui is an easy drive across the harbour.
There's plenty of opportunity to get involved. Matua Hall on Levers Road hosts a range of local groups, from preschool playgroups to garden and bird clubs. Next door, Bowls Matua and the adjacent tennis courts offer more ways to stay active and connect with the community.
