Some homes simply stand apart. Designed with individuality, built with quality and offering an extraordinary amount of space, this impressive Colin Shore built personal residence is a home that needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Created across three levels, it offers the flexibility modern family life demands. Four bedrooms, two generous living areas and a dedicated study provide plenty of room for everyone, while the main suite offers its own private retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Two further bedrooms share convenient jack and jill bathroom access, an ideal setup for families with teenagers. At the heart of the home, a designer kitchen with quality appliances brings everyone together, while a lift connecting all three levels makes moving throughout the home effortless. Bathroom facilities on every level, including a convenient powder room, underfloor heating throughout, three heat pumps, double glazing and an HRV system ensure comfort and convenience have been considered at every turn.

Then there are the views. Step out onto a private balcony and take in the exceptional outlook across Highfield Golf Course and out towards the sea, and not to mention the stunning mountain views. From your morning coffee as the day begins to a glass of wine as the sun goes down, this is a place to pause, unwind and simply take it all in, a view you’ll never tire of. Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens create a peaceful setting, complete with established lemon and mandarin trees and a vegetable patch, adding a wonderful sense of home to this property. Downstairs a separate studio with its own bathroom provides fantastic flexibility for guests, extended family or independent living, making this an excellent option for multi-generational living under one roof. A dedicated wine cellar and separate hobby room add yet another layer of character and lifestyle.

An electric gate provides a secure welcome to the property, complemented by a security system for added peace of mind. A double internal access garage at entrance level is joined by a substantial second internal access garage and workshop below, exceptional space for vehicles, projects, storage and all the extras that come with a busy lifestyle. With its European inspired character, thoughtful design, remarkable versatility and those unforgettable views, this is far from an ordinary four bedroom home.

It’s a property designed for family life, entertaining and the years ahead. Homes with this combination of craftsmanship, space and individuality are seldom available.

For the next owners, this is an opportunity to make an exceptional home part of their own family story.
