Cantilever House

Clean lines meet bold design in this stunning luxury resort-style residence. Expertly designed by renowned Architect Sumich Chaplin and inspired by the famed Californian Palm Springs, this contemporary masterpiece is wrapped in opulent stone and plaster, with an eye-catching cantilevered top floor. The elevated position delivers panoramic views and unbeatable privacy, yet just minutes from the village centre.

The central floor is anchored by the sleek kitchen, featuring a hidden scullery and large sliding doors that frame incredible views. Formal dining is set privately alongside while the open-plan living area flows out to the covered entertaining patio. A generous media room, an impressive office, spacious guest suite, powder room, and a large laundry complete this level.

Boasting expansive views from the top floor, the master suite features an enviable dressing room and a gorgeous ensuite. Two additional bedrooms access a stylish bathroom, plus there's a second guest suite and a family living area. Privately set below the main dwelling, with separate driveway access, is a spacious self-contained studio.

Beautifully landscaped by Suzanne Turley, pristine border hedging and native plantings frame the white pavers and show off the stunning heated lap pool and built-in spa. Alongside the pool sits a fantastic entertainment room, with a bathroom and sauna to the rear, and a well-equipped gym below.

Modern comforts include a lift to all three floors, ducted air conditioning, underfloor heating, Sonos sound system, and electric blinds. Practicality abounds with a six-car garage, a second double garage, and two driveways for separate access to the main dwelling and to the studio.

This expertly designed property of international quality presents an easy lifestyle, as a main residence or a holiday retreat, with luxurious finishes and quality furnishings included. Set in a supreme location, Havelock North boasts an array of world-class wineries, gourmet eateries, and is a hub for outdoor adventures.
