The private lifestyle subdivision of Tides Reach is very desirable real estate for those in know, for those that don’t this gated enclave of large, quality homes is a secret worth finding and you should read on.
Offering lifestyle living with the security and convenience of a private residential subdivision Tides Reach also has a Tennis Court and clubhouse and is very close to the service and leisure facilities of Te Puna and Omokoroa. Set amongst other high quality homes this magnificent property has one of the best positioned sections in the gated community and one of the few with a jetty and boat access to the Tauranga Harbour.
The home is an original design and built to a high specification by renowned Fowler Homes, it is majestic and is set back giving it attractive street appeal. The floorplan is generous, with extensive main living, sunroom and separate lounge, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, separate laundry and double garage. The master bedroom suite upstairs is like a luxury retreat with, of course ensuite and walk in wardrobe, but also study area, own lounge and covered outdoor room to enjoy the views, sunsets and tranquility.
The dwelling sits on the upper level looking down on the Te Puna estuary, with the rest of the land is tiered down to the waters edge, with two ponds one freshwater and one salt water. The property is bathed in all day sun and beautifully planted and has been used for wedding receptions in the past. And although it’s a significant piece of land the current owner has invested a lot of time to make it easy to manage. There is also a permit in place to build a separate shed next to the double garage.
This property is more than the sum of its parts though. It should be considered a serious investment property, which will likely increase in value on completion of the new Northern Link Highway from Tauranga to Te Puna. Completion is currently expected by April 2026 and Te Karaka Drive is just 1.6km from the Loop Road on ramp, making this already convenient location a much shorter commute into Tauranga. With children in mind you are zoned for Omokoroa No. 1 School, with excellent secondary school options nearby and school bus pick up at the gate.
If you are looking for security, future easy transit to Tauranga and would like the ability to go boat fishing from your front lawn then this property is for you.
