Our Favourite Thing
Beyond the main home, a separate building adds yet another dimension to the property — and this has to be our favourite thing about the address. Here, a sprawling 1,380-square-foot art studio, complete with its own bathroom, workshop, and garage, provides an inspiring space for creativity and craftsmanship. Whether envisioned as a personal retreat or a working artist’s haven, this studio is a rare luxury that elevates the estate's already remarkable appeal.
Adding to its sustainability credentials, the home is powered by a geothermal heating system; the environmentally conscious feature reduces its carbon footprint while ensuring year-round comfort.
Nestled on a sprawling 2.4-acre parcel, this estate is as much about its setting as it is about its architecture. The breathtaking natural surroundings serve as an ever-changing canvas, where morning light dances across the strait and twilight casts long shadows over the rolling landscape.
In essence, this is a place where art and nature exist in perfect harmony, offering a lifestyle that is both sophisticated and serene.
