51 Sanctuary Key, Papamoa, Tauranga & Surrounds

Masterclass in waterfront living

From the first moment, it's clear this is no ordinary home; a true labour of love, meticulously reimagined and transformed to the highest standard. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, every choice intentional. The result? A stunning fusion of craftsmanship, modern functionality, and timeless elegance. Built to last, this home combines concrete block construction (with rendered plaster finish) and advanced weathertight detailing, ensuring a legacy of low-maintenance luxury. Double-glazed and crafted to perfection.

Open the front door and your eye is instantly drawn to the magnificent kitchen island, a true centrepiece of the home, before continuing through the full-height glazing to the shimmering waterway beyond. It's an unforgettable first impression, and just a glimpse of what this remarkable property has to offer.

Spanning an impressive 398sqm (more or less) of floor area, this sanctuary of space and style features four generously sized bedrooms, four beautifully appointed bathrooms, two expansive living areas, and a formal dining room perfect for hosting memorable occasions. A large walk-in scullery, a dedicated home office (or fifth bedroom/third living area), and exceptional flow throughout ensure effortless living at every turn.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is magnificently designed—crafted to the finest of detail with an oversized island, extensive storage, and a jaw-dropping scullery. Integrated appliances are seamlessly incorporated, delivering both style and function in equal measure. Volume ceilings, custom lighting, and bespoke built-ins continue the theme of quiet luxury throughout. Premium materials elevate every space, engineered oak flooring underfoot, exquisite marble and stone detailing, and plush wool carpets in the formal lounge and bedrooms, for layers of understated sophistication.

The primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a sumptuous dressing room, a spacious ensuite, and a secluded balcony that captures tranquil waterway views. Downstairs, a secondary suite opens seamlessly to the lawn and features its own elegant ensuite—ideal for guests or multi-generational living, offering the rare luxury of two master suites. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms share a beautifully tiled bathroom, while a fourth bathroom near the side entrance makes post-beach clean-up a breeze.

Outdoors, the magic continues. Set on a substantial 905sqm (more or less) section, the manicured lawns stretch toward a breath-taking long view arguably the best along the waterways in Royal Palm Beach. The expansive deck and patio area offer the perfect backdrop for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying quiet family moments, all while soaking in the peaceful waterway surrounds.

With significant off-street parking and convenient drive-through access via the double garage, there's room for all the beach toys and more.

Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or simply seeking a refined lifestyle, this home offers a rare combination of character, elegance, and everyday comfort—wrapped into one unforgettable opportunity.
