The luxurious home, called Velsheda, has its own private pier and direct access to Poole Harbour.

It has incredible views of the world's second largest natural harbour, which is often visited by multi-million pounds superyachts.

Robert Dunford, from Tailor Made, said: "Designed by the award-winning architect MRD architecture, and built with the utmost care and attention for detail, not only is this home spectacular externally and internally but its location with the breath-taking Poole Harbour views and evening sunsets completes the ultimate dream in waterfront living.
"The market has increased in its ferocity as demand continue to outstrip supply for beach and waterfront location homes.
"Relocations remain strong and it appears we are enjoying a third wave of buyers, those that have seen their friends and family purchase locally in the last few years and now want to relocate for the better lifestyle, schools and local living.
"Locally the frontline property has catapulted in value, hitting more than £1,500 per square foot and recent new build sales have surpassed the £1,750 per square foot mark.
"Given Velsheda's size at circa 4,800 sq ft, with a guide price of £5.75m, this represents excellent value at £1,197 per square foot."
