Katanga is a striking, award-winning waterfront home designed for luxury living and entertaining. With panoramic harbour views, high-spec interiors, expansive terraces, and direct water access, it offers an exceptional lifestyle in a secure, private setting.
Katanga offers a rare blend of architectural excellence, luxurious living, and breathtaking waterfront views—making it equally suited as a full-time family residence or an idyllic weekend retreat.
Expertly designed to maximise its stunning harbourside setting, every principal room—including all reception spaces and bedrooms—enjoys sweeping, uninterrupted views across the water, with sights extending toward the nearby islands, Arne Peninsula, and the Purbeck Hills beyond.
Throughout the home, meticulous attention has been given to every detail. High-end fixtures and fittings blend seamlessly with thoughtful interior design, creating a living environment that is both supremely comfortable and effortlessly elegant.
Recognised for its outstanding quality, Katanga was the recipient of both the Regional and National Premier Guarantee ‘Excellence Award’ in 2012, and was nominated for ‘Single Unit Development of the Year’ in 2013—an accolade that reflects the home's exceptional construction and finish.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area connects via full-height sliding doors to a generous southwest-facing terrace. This elevated outdoor space is perfect for spring and summer gatherings and leads down to a decked area with an inset Jacuzzi hot tub and a beautifully landscaped rear garden.
Additional internal spaces include a cosy family room, a dedicated home office, a fully equipped gym and sauna, and a state-of-the-art cinema room—providing a comprehensive suite of amenities for both relaxation and recreation.
Upstairs, four spacious double bedroom suites offer luxurious accommodation for family and guests alike. Each room includes either a dressing area or fitted wardrobes, while the principal and guest suites enjoy particularly striking water views.
Set within a secure, gated plot, the property also benefits from a large integral double garage with tiled flooring, feature ceiling height, and remote-controlled doors. To the rear, a private waterside terrace includes gated access to a slipway, a hardstanding area for boating, and direct water access—perfect for marine enthusiasts.

About The Location
The property is located right on the shores of Poole Harbour. There are fabulous water views across and access directly out onto Europe's largest natural harbour; this is a stunning location for all types of water sports fringed with unspoilt woodland and wonderful coastal walks.
Lake Yard Boat Club is close at hand and the harbour is alive with all types of craft as the appeal of safe sailing attracts all ages and abilities keen to get on the water. Residents here benefit from deep water moorings for yachts making it so easy to decide to set sail for the day. There is also water access to paddleboard, kayak or windsurf in the bay.
The harbour is a site of nature conservation, a wetland teeming with wading birds with many international protections in place. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which recognises the country's most spectacular and beautiful habitats and a Special Protection Area (SPA).
Within a mile,, Poole Old Town and the Quay is easily reached over the lifting bridge. The Quay offers a wide selection of popular restaurants and bars, as well as seasonal events including summer fireworks, classic car rallies and festivals. The historic Old Town is filled with independent shops and restaurants, picturesque architecture and all necessary amenities.
You will find the internationally acknowledged Sandbanks within 5 miles which offers the beautiful award-winning sandy beaches and also the Sandbanks Chain Ferry crosses the short stretch of water across to the Purbecks, giving access to Shell Bay, Swanage and the rest of the magnificent Jurassic coastline and stunning Purbeck countryside.
