Lawn to Harbour is an expression I borrowed from our Rotorua and Taupo agents who describe those fabulous lake front properties that simply roll out from the home to the waters edge as Lawn to Lake. These properties, even on the lakes, are somewhat of a scarcity with the protective owners reluctant to give up the easy access to the water or the quiet and privacy of not having a road, large bank or even a pathway between them. Extend this land to liquid concept to Tauranga and Mount Maunganui and any waterfront buyer who has ever looked will tell you the search gets harder. One such property is 53B Manuwai Drive, Matua which not only has the seclusion away from roads, pathways and railways, but also has easy access for water sport activities and of course those uncompromised harbour views extending across to the Kaimai Ranges. You will also enjoy the benefit of the neighbours massive park like garden with Pohutakawa trees, birds and lawns which add to the beach front ambiance. Unlike many other Manuwai Drive properties which sit high above the harbour with steep water access, this particular home is nestled down towards the water. This unique position has the benefit of easy access to the water and boat ramp but also offers privacy and protection from the wind while allowing very special views across the harbour rather than over the harbour. Manuwai Drive is renowned for its magnificent sunsets but few offer the truly sensational vista available from this unique perspective right through to days end. Our agents have described this home as 'really cool'. While it has had a quality renovation throughout with top of the range materials, it has not lost it's beach appeal and great effort has gone in by the owners to retain its original, casual and informal character and atmosphere. The position and views have this in abundance but the house with its easy flow to large outside decks, dining and spa, somehow enhance that holiday home environment.
Entertaining friends and family here will be a laid back relaxed occasion with the children exploring the beach, the adults enjoying a wine or two while the sausages sizzle on the BBQ. However, if the occasion requires a little more formality then there is the large dining area of the house which can easily accommodate a large dinner party. This home offers three double bedrooms, beautiful ensuite and walk in wardrobe, guest bathroom and a Mal Corboy designer kitchen with top of the range appliances. Although the home has that large apartment feel, it offers so much more with an attached genuine double garage with workbench and loft above plus a designated boat or campervan park. The manageable lawns and landscaped gardens that surround the house make this truly a 'hard to find' paradise situated only 10 minutes from Tauranga CBD. 'Lawn to Harbour'. 'Holiday all year round'. 'Beach haven in the City'. There are probably a hundred phrases I could use to describe this property but none will truly do it justice. This property has a special feel that words and even photographs cannot properly convey. For your opportunity to feel it for yourself, phone for an appointment today.
