5 Sunny Downs Drive, Tauriko, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty, 3110, New Zealand
This uncompromising solid concrete home has been built to last an eternity with a level of engineering and quality unparalleled by most NZ residences and exceeding the centuries old Italian mansions upon which it is themed.
Set within a sought-after Bethlehem enclave, a private, elevated near-acre of manicured grounds compliment the home which they surround, somehow both inviting and commanding respect from those passing by or arriving to visit. Designed with the level of privacy and security that any high net-worth individual would expect from such an estate, high gates and hedges allow little more than glimpses from prying eyes – sensors and cameras take care of the rest.
A home of epic scale in and of itself, a huge opportunity also exists here to a family (or families) requiring quite separate accommodation. If required, there are really three residences within this one complex, being a 4+ bedroom home, a 2 bedroom apartment on the upper level, and stylish 1 bedroom studio apartment within the basement structure.
We encourage those who are capable, and interested in acquiring this property to arrange a viewing without delay. One needn’t have followed Tauranga real estate for very long to appreciate such an opportunity comes once in a blue moon – yet for the next owners here, we could imagine a tight grip ensuing, and these gates protecting, each space beyond them inspiring, for many decades – even generations to come.
