Perfectly balancing ingenuity and elegance, Optima fuses the inherent beauty of natural materials with an inspired aesthetic: western red cedar, zinc cladding and glass exude modernity, while Portland Stone is an expression of Dorset's timeless character.

Located in a private enclave surrounded by pine trees, adjoining a nature reserve and golf course, Optima occupies a spectacular natural setting presiding over Poole Harbour, with views to Brownsea Island and the Isle of Purbeck beyond.

On entering the property the generosity of the design is immediately apparent, rooms are spacious and well proportioned, feature glazing celebrates the views and brings in soft, natural light, and the layout of accommodation flows seamlessly over three floors with everything arranged to provide a comfortable, relaxing and luxurious lifestyle. Optima is of the highest quality and specification, with advanced technological systems including a Savant System which fully automates the home – lighting, CCTV, music all controlled through your smart phone!

The main living space is found on the first floor - accessed via the stairs or lift, this level is dominated by a palatial open plan kitchen/living/dining room; the heart of a family home and perfect for entertaining this area also gives access to three separate terraces. To the left from the kitchen, a courtyard style walled patio area offers a charming and sheltered outdoor space in which to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun or find a shady retreat on summer afternoons. To the front of the property, a balcony terrace spans the width of the home and showcases incredible views over the landscaped grounds to Poole Harbour, and to the right of the property there is a large terrace ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining as the sun sets over the Luscombe Valley.

As you would expect, no expense has been spared in creating an exclusive and luxurious home. The kitchen is architect designed and includes premium brand integral appliances including a larder style fridge/freezer and Quooker instant hot water tap. There is a wine room that is both beautiful and functional with two climate controlled fridge units and glass doors allowing you to exhibit your wine collection to the full.

A separate lounge accessing the evening terrace and overlooking the tree filled valley provides a welcome additional reception room on this floor.

Upstairs on the second floor there are four ensuite bedrooms, the principal suite is set across the back of the home with floor to ceiling glazing framing stunning harbour views, and a balcony alond the width of the space. There is a useful and well-appointed walk in dressing room and a gorgeous ensuite where you can further enjoy the exceptional views from your walk in shower or freestanding bath. There are three further generously sized double bedrooms each with fitted storage, an elegant ensuite, and a Juliet balcony overlooking the wooded nature reserve. The top floor is completed by a fully fitted laundry utility room and a mezzanine office space over the stairs.

The ground floor of the home combines fun and function with a glamourous indoor pool suite including sauna, shower room and glazed doors that open up to connect this space to the patio and gardens beyond. There is feature lighting for a starry sky above the pool and space poolside for an informal lounge or gym. With plenty of storage, an integral double garage, further laundry/utility room and a home office to the front of the property complete the ground floor.


Outside the gardens are a triumph, a perfect balance of formal lawns merging into the nature of Luscombe Valley with hidden pathways leading you around a nature pond, feature shrubs and secluded niches where you can hide away with a cup of tea or a good book enjoying tranquil nature and the sound of birds singing. There is private access directly into the nature reserve through which, almost unbelievably, the waters of Poole Harbour are just a couple of minutes walk away.

Optima represents an incredible opportunity for someone who wants to be close to the excitement and entertainment of Sandbanks but values a peaceful and private home life. With world class restaurants, prestigious yacht clubs and an exclusive golf club close at hand, and a home set down a private gated driveway amidst the peaceful pines and nature of the Luscombe Valley you really can have it all.

Optima is the perfect retreat and a sanctuary from the outside world - bordered on one side by the lush woodland of the Luscombe Valley Nature Reserve which is an area of outstanding beauty with special scientific interest, it is home to a number of protected species of flora and fauna.

The tranquillity of Optima’s surroundings is complimented by Poole harbour, the iconic second largest natural harbour in the world. Offering a variety of lifestyle opportunities. The numerous yacht clubs, marinas and the open water of the English Channel beyond cater to the demands of water sports enthusiasts, power boaters and the sailing fraternity. Off the water, strolling on sandy beaches - whether at nearby Sandbanks or along the dramatic World Heritage coastline - is simply part of your everyday experience.

Optima also benefits from being positioned alongside the Parkstone championship golf course, offering 18 challenging holes over a beautiful mature heath land course, with views over Poole Harbour and beyond.
