Overview

Harbour days, family ways

Some homes look toward the water. This one settles into it. Set on the harbour’s edge, 85 Forrester Drive unfolds across a backdrop of shifting blues and layered greens, with Mauao resting quietly in the distance. It’s an outlook that holds your attention without asking for it - changing with the light, the tide, and the rhythm of the day. Upstairs is where daily life unfolds. Living spaces stretch along the front of the home in a layout that feels open, connected, and easy, with generous glazing pulling the outlook in. Two lounges sit side by side, connected yet able to close away when needed, both opening to an elevated deck where glass balustrades keep the horizon uninterrupted. A sunroom wrapped in glazing extends the living further - warm and light-filled, it’s a natural spot for slow mornings or quiet afternoons. Raked ceilings lift the spaces, while a palette of crisp whites and plywood brings warmth and texture. A woodburner anchors the zones through cooler months, adding to the sense of comfort. The kitchen and dining sit easily off the main living area, grounded, functional, and filled with natural light from above. The master bedroom is generous and calm, with a wide window framing the harbour beyond. A second bedroom, family bathroom, separate toilet, and dedicated laundry complete this level with ease. Downstairs, the home shifts again - offering space, separation, and flexibility. A third bedroom offers privacy for teens or guests, while an independent area with its own living, kitchenette, bathroom and fourth bedroom opens to a covered patio and lawn. It’s a space that adapts for extended family, a boarder or quieter kind of independence for multi-generational living. Outside, the grounds are fully fenced and secure, with plenty of lawn for kids and pets, softened by native planting and ferns that create a sense of shelter and calm. With direct access to the harbour’s edge, it’s easy to launch a paddleboard or kayak and let the water set the pace of the day. Next door, Tye Park offers even more room to roam, while local shops are an easy walk or quick drive away for daily essentials or evening meals when the household chef wants a night off. Tauranga, Papamoa, and the Mount are all within easy reach, keeping you connected without ever feeling crowded. Close enough to stay connected, yet removed enough to feel like your own retreat, this is a home that offers space, flexibility, and a view that does more than just look good - it changes how you live.
