Description
A rare offering, Cartref-y-Môr ("House by the Sea") is a magnificent waterfront estate that seamlessly blends architectural distinction, luxurious comfort, and natural beauty. Set on approximately five acres of gently sloping, south-facing grounds, this exceptional property enjoys sweeping, unobstructed water views from nearly every principal room.
Inspired by the timeless elegance of the colonial bungalow style and reminiscent of the works of renowned architect Samuel McClure, the residence exudes refined craftsmanship and understated grandeur.
The chef’s kitchen is a culinary showcase, featuring bespoke cabinetry, stone countertops, and a suite of high-end appliances. An elegant dining area provides a refined setting for entertaining, while the stylish living room—with its fireplace and access to a covered deck—offers the perfect space to take in the tranquil waterfront vistas.
The main-level primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, fireplace, luxurious 3-piece ensuite, and direct deck access. A second bedroom, a study, family room, mudroom, and additional baths complete this thoughtfully designed level.
Upstairs, a second primary suite offers an indulgent 5-piece ensuite, generous walk-in closet, and a private balcony. Two further bedrooms, two additional bathrooms, and attic storage provide ample space for family and guests.
The lower level is an entertainment haven, featuring a billiards room, media room, comfortable sitting area, and a changing room for pool or waterfront activities.
A separate two-bedroom caretaker or guest cottage ensures comfort and privacy for visitors, while the estate’s Carriage House impresses with three garage doors, abundant space for vehicles, golf carts, and motorcycles. The upper level includes a full bathroom and a spacious multipurpose area, ideal for a home office, studio, or guest suite.
Outdoors, Cartref-y-Môr offers an extraordinary lifestyle. The property features two distinctive waterfronts—a sheltered bay and a deep-water access point for larger vessels. Enjoy exceptional outdoor living with a swimming pool, expansive patios, meandering trails, and curated gardens. Additional amenities include a workshop with a 12-foot garage door, a separate garage, a tool shed, and a charming chicken coop.
For boating enthusiasts, the private boathouse with a mechanized marine way provides effortless access to the surrounding waters—perfect for exploring by yacht.
A true sanctuary by the sea, Cartref-y-Môr represents the epitome of coastal sophistication, offering timeless design, luxurious comfort, and a rare connection to the water.
