An extraordinary waterfront residence, designed with striking architecture and offering a rare opportunity to own a bespoke coastal sanctuary
Description
Reef House is an exceptional waterfront residence, perfectly positioned on an elevated 0.367-acre plot. It offers a rare blend of luxury, natural light and beauty, creating a true coastal sanctuary in one of the UK’s most desirable locations. Complete with a private jetty, mooring, slipway, multi-car garage and fully equipped gymnasium, it represents the very best in contemporary waterside living.
From its privileged position, Reef House enjoys panoramic views across Poole Harbour. The ever-changing seascapes and world-renowned sunsets provide a constant backdrop of natural splendour. With an 11-metre jetty and direct water access, this property is particularly appealing to boating enthusiasts who value both elegance and adventure.
Architecturally, the house is a masterpiece of bespoke design. Commissioned by the current owner, it has been created to celebrate its south-westerly orientation and to embrace the surrounding environment. Expansive glazing and open interiors flood the home with natural light, while principal rooms are carefully positioned to capture the breathtaking views at every opportunity.
Beyond the main accommodation, the property has been designed with lifestyle at its heart. A 1,350 sq ft garage complex provides secure, stylish space for car collectors and motoring enthusiasts. A dedicated leisure wing includes a state-of-the-art gymnasium, games room and mezzanine studio/media room, creating a setting where relaxation, wellness and entertainment blend seamlessly.
A 200-foot gated drive leads to the residence, offering both security and a striking sense of arrival. The grounds are peaceful and secluded, forming an oasis of calm away from the bustle of daily life. Yet Reef House is also ideally placed to enjoy the many attractions of this prestigious stretch of coastline.
Reef House is more than a home. It is a statement of lifestyle, exclusivity and design, and one of the finest waterfront opportunities on the South Coast.

This is a prestigious and highly sought after residential area on the picturesque shoreline of Poole Harbour. Poole is one of the most exclusive and exciting places to live on the South Coast, with the second largest natural Harbour in the world. These waters are famous for year-round sports including, windsurfing, kite surfing and have many sailing facilities.
From Poole it is possible to catch a ferry to either mainland France or the Channel Islands. The world famous Sandbanks peninsular is also close by with its award winning beaches, Rick Stein's restaurant and the daily ferry to Brownsea Island and Swanage, which is a gateway town for exploring the Jurassic Coast, a 155km World Heritage Site.

The towns of Poole and Bournemouth town centres are also conveniently located with an abundance of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars together with excellent leisure facilities.
Local mainline stations connect to London Waterloo in approximately two hours. The M27 and M3 provide links to major towns and cities, such as Southampton, Winchester and London. For international connections, Bournemouth Airport is approximately 12 miles away.
