Ultimate house hunt

Bonita Springs-based luxury homebuilder Harwick Homes, fresh off an expansion to Marco Island, is getting some global TV attention.

The homebuilder, with a niche in building and remodeling homes priced from $1 million to more than $10 million, was recently selected for HGTV's 2017 Ultimate House Hunt Competition. The company's Estuary estate, according to a release, is a finalist in the contest's Outdoor Retreat category. The category is comprised of seven other homes, including a South African mansion; a waterfront villa in St. Maarten; and a mountaintop estate in Hawaii.

The Harwick Homes entry, a private residence in Estuary at Grey Oaks in Naples designed by internationally acclaimed architect Richard Wengle, oozes luxury. Entry to the home, five bedrooms plus a study, is through Coquina stone columns. The resort-style pool is designed with floating paver walkways that wander among palm trees. “Gallery-like interiors define the 8,500 square feet of living space,” the release adds.
