THE PINNACLE

21 Estates Terrace, Welcome Bay

Located prominently on the top of a ridgeline of the Welcome Bay foothills, with privacy assured. This breathtaking property offers the most outstanding panoramic views of Tauranga City, the Harbour, Mauao, the Bay of Plenty coastline, Kaimai Ranges, and rural landscapes to the south.  This Master Builders “House of the Year Supreme Winner” was built by Johnny Calley and designed by architect Cate Creemers. The brief was a home of difference, that was sculptural and crafted to embody solidity, warmth and light, whilst also creating a canvas for art and collection. Attention to detail and workmanship here is second to none. This home is equally suited to families and couples; buyers who value design, quality, views, peace and privacy are sure to connect with this outstanding property.

    CAR GARAGING

The home is designed with passive solar principles (orientation, shading and insulation), minimising operational energy requirements and maximising health and comfort.

Organised around a view centred on Mauoa, and emphasised by the folded ceilings carrying cedar sarking to exterior soffits and flanking Blade walls. From the second level, the quality of the southward rural views and the serenity they invite can’t be overstated.

Material choices have been highly considered. Precast concrete panels and a sunken lounge offer a retreat to cave-like solidity, with external walls being timber framed to maximise insulation. For inclusion, materials needed to be beautiful, stable and environmentally credible. Natural slate, raw steel, oak and cedar ensure a comforting organic feel in the modern cutting edge spaces.

Approach is via a gated, sealed driveway, only revealing the existing and sculptural nature of the residence once the gates are passed and the brow of the hill summited. A second entrance, on easement through a neighbouring property, allows service access and larger/trailered vehicles to easily reach the motor court. A separate terrace of land potentially allows for storage of boats or campers.

An inviting covered entry and significant pivot door lead into a branching foyer accessing the atrium stairwell gallery, living area, and garaging.

A large open plan kitchen with a generous, cleverly positioned scullery, dining area and an adjacent sunken lounge creates a main living space that’s outwardly focused on the expansive views. A custom media room sits beside the sunken lounge, defined by its precast concrete internal walls.

The master suite is ideally situated on the northeast aspect of the ground floor. From entry access the large ensuite and wardrobe, or descend three steps into the sunken bedroom with framed views and direct deck and garden access.

A ground floor guest bedroom with ensuite, a separate powder room and large utility cupboard completes this level. 

Upstairs offers a mezzanine passage connecting two more bedrooms, a shared family bathroom complete with bath and an office with a small balcony, offering a serene rural connection. The larger of these bedrooms is positioned on the northerly aspect and benefits from an equally scaled balcony; a peaceful sun worshipper’s platform with stunning views out over the pool and beyond to the ocean horizon. The significance of this space lends itself to becoming an additional living area or upper level master option.

The spacious laundry situated adjacent to the garaging has a mud room entry and its own access deck complete with a sizeable firewood storage space with a roller door that could equally serve as a gardener’s cupboard

A substantially oversized 8 meter wide single custom garage door provides access to quadruple car garaging that includes a built in car lift and a 100 m2 floor area.

Outdoor living has been prioritised with 100m2 of decking embracing the living areas and includes an overhead louvre, secure outdoor kitchen, wood fireplace and a separate but visually connected designer infinity edged pool situated in its own beautifully conceived oasis.
