Commanding kiln-dried cedar entry doors and lustrous hand crafted terracotta floor tiles are among the architectural details influenced from Mexico.

A sleek wet bar with a stone counter and an ice machine creates an inviting meeting point in the stylish formal lounge where the beautiful timber floors are a legacy of a previous home on the site.

Additionally, a six zone audio system and the highest quality audio-visual gear will respond to the mood of any occasion.

Relax with family and friends in the stunning main living area and enjoy the ever changing seascape through a wall of glass where patio doors make this space fully interactive with a sheltered beachside terrace.

Lower the automated blinds to enjoy a complete movie experience with surround sound in the adjoining family room featuring a sleek entertainment unit, wall-mounted plasma screen and fireplace with overhead log storage.

Smeg stainless steel appliances and Caesar Stone counters make cooking an everyday pleasure in the fantastic white kitchen that offers plenty of storage including a microwave hutch, walk-in pantry and fabulous island unit with a breakfast bar and water filter.
