Design
Incredible stonework defines the Seven Coves “look” and nothing is a more pristine example of this than the stunning South Cottage. This world class example of bohemian craftmanship continues indoors, exemplified by the 3 signature monolithic stone fireplaces, the defining feature of the cottage. The massive hearthstones, lintels and mantles, weighing in at several tons, are juxtaposed with clean Venetian plaster walls and hand-hewn timber beams.
Every inch of the house and surrounding grounds has been designed to take full advantage of the natural landscape surrounding the property. Native grasses, shrubs and herbs pepper the uniquely beautiful gardens and foot paths which dot the property, spectacular ocean views abound, and guests are immersed in the natural beauty of the place from every corner of the home and the grounds.
Every interior detail caters to discerning tastes and an appreciation for rustic luxury. From the imported antique French patterned floors throughout the home, to the custom kitchen cabinetry, the South Cottage oozes character and style. You won’t find this quality of finishes anywhere else – this gorgeously appointed home is exceptionally furnished with an eclectic mix of rare antique and contemporary furniture, art, sculpture and other antique artifacts.
The Cottage is designed around a glass-enclosed internal courtyard and garden furnished with comfortable lounge furniture, bursting with rare ground covers and colorful bougainvillea. This provides the perfect space to relax, unwind, and connect with the outdoors while being fully protected from the elements. The accordion doors fold completely open opening the house to the courtyard, seamlessly bringing the outdoors indoors.
The comfortable living room is dominated by a spectacular view of the ocean cove and the wide horizon, framed by the large windows which dominate the room. This beautiful central sitting area is the perfect gathering place to relax, socialize, and enjoy the view with a cozy fire in the signature stone fireplace.
The adjacent open plan kitchen provides every modern convenience and features top of the line appliances (Sub-Zero, Wolfe, Miele and more), camouflaged by custom cabinetry to provide a seamless visual experience. A bar with seating is perfect for casual entertaining or enjoying breakfast with a view of the garden beyond.
The dining room provides a view of the sea on one side, and on the other, the room’s large accordion doors fold open to the courtyard, extending the space and erasing the boundary between indoors and out. Seating 10 comfortably, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a meal and connect with friends and family, or share an intimate dinner.
Both bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the roomy north bedroom provides stunning panoramic ocean views. The master bathroom features one of the hefty signature stone fireplaces as well as bi-fold doors which fully open the room to the gardens and courtyards. The ensuite master bath features an oversize titanium soaking tub with porcelain insets.
Outside you will find an expansive stone patios with incredible ocean and private cove views and plenty of comfortable seating, plus an outdoor stone fireplace with a grass amphitheater and sitting area.
The Value of Luxury
