Taking inspiration from the coastal landscape, this family-size villa has been designed to create a calm and peaceful atmosphere, combining sleek industrial fittings with modern styling. The real standout is the large outdoor terrace, complete with seating, a barbecue and a sprawling garden with additional space to sip Chardonnay and relax. We can think of nothing better than a balmy summer evening spent out here with a group of friends or family, the bifold doors thrown open, instantly expanding your communal space. If you can bring yourself to leave the deck area, inside, there's a contemporary island kitchen that will make cooking a breeze. Plus, a comfortable living area with a fireplace for cosy evenings spent playing games around the dining table. We love the mezzanine layout and double-height ceilings that creates a bright and open space to unwind. When it's time to head out, you're less than a kilometre from Arradon's vast sandy beaches and coastal trails, so you can enjoy fun-filled days sunbathing and swimming, before wandering into town for a bite to eat.
