SOLD - Majestic in Moncks Bay

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.
French doors from all of the downstairs rooms lead out onto the brick courtyards. 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 are a peaceful haven for many species of native birds. Formal gardens enhance the courtyards and there is an abundance of flat land surrounding the house.
Easy access from the private lane leads 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!
Opportunities to own a property like this, only 20 minutes from the city centre are incredibly rare. For the new owner, there may be potential to develop the land, or perhaps plant a vineyard or olive grove - the only limit is your imagination.
