Majestic in Moncks Bay

7

A fabulous home and lifestyle that has grown over the years from a humble cottage to a stunning property in a superb position. With sweeping and unobstructed views over Moncks Bay to the Southern Alps and beyond it has evolved into a wonderful architectural home, sitting proudly on a magnificent north facing site of 11,455sqm. Perfectly private, warm and sunny - a home for all seasons.
Nicholas Kennedy, a promising young architect with Warren and Mahoney during the 1960's prepared the initial concept drawings while working in his own practice in 1974. Contemporary New Zealand styling with a Scandinavian influence. Cedar and Oamaru block cladding, along with the extensive use of natural timbers throughout the home, including flooring, stairs, ceilings and joinery have created a warm glow and a sense of style.
With all of the downstairs rooms having French doors leading to the outside brick courtyards, there are many options for outdoor living. A perfect home for entertaining with delightful gardens and shelter created from an amazing landscape project. The plantings are well thought through and consist of trees that suit the contour of the land. Flowering eucalyptus, pohutakawas and many colourful plants that flower in different seasons. A peaceful haven for many species of native birds. Some formal gardens enhance the courtyards - there is an abundance of flat land which surrounds the house.
There is easy access from the private lane to a welcoming stone entrance, ample parking, large garaging with storage options and boat/implement shed. Beneath the house there is even room for a wine cellar!
It is now time for the family to move on from their sanctuary of more than 40 years, with many happy memories made. Well fenced paddocks with plenty of shelter have been ideal for the family's love of horses.
