A quality home designed for couples or family on a beautiful site overlooking the water. \nImagine reclining on your deck in the evening with a wine as the moon reflects in the harbour waters and in your swimming pool which echoes the shape of the estuary. Just one of the pleasures of this property where the dwelling built by award winning Harwood Homes has been sited to the sea view and to optimise seasonal sunshine. \nA pleasure for a couple who can savour sunrises from their master suite and have a beautiful outlook for company wherever they are in the living spaces which span the sunniest aspect and spill onto the covered deck. A wide open plan area is backed by a spacious kitchen (with scullery) where you can stand at the sink and soak in the views. Cavity sliders separate the lounge where one corner of stackers open it to the deck. Low winter sun reaches right across the spaces while the deck's overhand keeps high summer rays at bay. The home has a zoned sound system with speakers everywhere you want music and a cupboard to conceal the technology.\nHaving the family bedrooms and bathroom in the opposite wing creates privacy and allows this area to be closed off if not in use. The fourth bedroom (or office) shares the other wing with the master suite and 'more than double' garaging. \nThe 4696m2 semi-triangular gently sloping site has been superbly laid out in sympathy with the surroundings, by well respected local landscaper Mark Cashmore. The deep oval pool merges into the grounds and features timbers and railway sleepers employed elsewhere as decking and steps. While the front of the property praises the panorama the rear offers ample parking for caravan, boat and lots of visitors. Steps lead up to a home orchard (nuts, apples, peaches, pears,citrus) and three garden sheds in a neat row. \nTides Reach is a superbly situated coastal gated community just past Te Puna village, an easy 15 minutes from Tauranga. Residents take pride in their properties and share a tennis court and club house near the entrance. \n
