Private Waterfront Legacy
Encompassing approximately 3.64 hectares of manicured grounds with riparian rights and direct access to the water, this is a rare offering crafted for discerning buyers seeking a secure and private sanctuary of international calibre.
Commanding uninterrupted harbour views across the water and the changing coastal landscape beyond, the estate captures the essence of premium New Zealand waterfront living. Hidden from the world behind a tree-lined approach, the property unfolds with a sense of scale and arrival seldom experienced in the Bay of Plenty market. Having an electric gate entrance with no other access provided, gives a sense of living on your own Island with complete privacy and security.
The home
The substantial residence has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its unique waterfront setting, with expansive glazing, timeless natural materials and multiple living environments all connecting seamlessly to the outdoors. Every space has been curated to maximise the panoramic views, natural light and tranquil atmosphere that define this exceptional property.
Sophisticated entertaining and relaxed family living coexist effortlessly, from the refined designer kitchen and elegant living zones through to the sheltered outdoor entertaining areas, heated pool and sweeping lawns that lead directly to the water’s edge. Whether boating, kayaking, fishing or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the harbour, the estate offers true access to the water in an entirely private setting.
A separate guest cottage provides flexibility for extended family, staff accommodation or international visitors, while additional shedding and workshop facilities add practicality for rural buyers or those seeking a multi-functional estate. The balance of open land, established landscaping and secure positioning creates an environment equally suited as a permanent residence, luxury retreat or generational family holding.
Only a short drive from Tauranga’s premier amenities, schools, marina facilities and airport connections, this exclusive waterfront estate offers the rare combination of absolute privacy, secure coastal living and effortless accessibility.
