Wonderful waterfront with "wow" factor ...

Take half an acre of Matua waterfront with its own hot water bore and a large family home. Transform the dwelling into 417m² of awesome interior flowing to stunning outdoor living above the heated pool and spa. The result is a wonderful family property with a real "wow" factor.

This superb 2163m² property, as a statement in style and function, combines the very best in design and quality materials to provide everything a family desires for daily life and for entertaining friends.

Visitors will find plenty of room to park outside the four car garaging. There's plenty of room inside it too, even a workshop.

Visitors will then find themselves gasping at the exceptional harbour views through an expanse of glazing. The home steps in and out along its view side creating a variety of sheltered outdoor living, and privacy for the master suite. The kitchen has worked perfectly for this family with its wide bench tops, bi folds along the front, its line up of three different Miele ovens, exceptional storage and excellent relationship with the outdoors and with the living area.

One of the three gas fireplaces faces the lounge, flanked by glass doors to an outdoor area warmed by another fire. The third gas fire heats a favourite space, the loggia off the huge family/entertainment room. It is the ideal place for a wine while watching the sun set over the Kaimais and contemplating a dip in the fresh mineral water of the glass mosaic lined pools below. The TV in the entertainment room can be swiveled so you can watch the rugby from the spa!

Hardy solid American oak floors extend right through the living areas. Stacking doors blur the line between inside and out. Heat pumps keep the temperature comfortable when necessary.

The master suite is simply to die for. High ceilings for open airiness, a private lounge, limestone tiled luxury in the bathroom where you soak with a view or choose your shower jet, then makeup in front of heated mirrors standing on a heated floor. Savour the views from bed, or draw luxurious drapes for privacy.

If three lounges were not enough the children also have their own zone upstairs. It is great for viewing TV and completing homework. One of the two family bedrooms has its own en suite; the other can use the bathrooms along the hall. Ladders to a neat mezzanine add to the fun.

A fourth bedroom has office furniture built in and an ingenious tilt bed that drops from a "cupboard" when you need it for guests.

Steps lead down to the harbour for water or jet skiing two hours each side of high tide. Fergusson Park is a five minute walk.

This superior property offers the very best of everything that epitomises life in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.
