There is something very special and alluring about Japanese-inspired ‘House of Sakana’.
With exceptional design and luxury finishes, this home creates a sense of tranquility and exudes sophistication.
A distinctive exterior instantly demands your attention, as you are welcomed by perfectly manicured gardens and oversized double teak timber doors.
As you venture inside the 1,012 square metre beachfront property, unique and calming qualities continue to impress, with a 25,000-litre pond complete with koi fish, a combined water and fire feature, and a timber jetty. A large open void merges the boundaries between interior and exterior and adds to the sense of awe.
The grand entrance hints at the opulence that awaits with no expense spared and every aspect carefully crafted. Premium materials are incorporated throughout including copper features, limestone wall tiles, marble, bluestone and French-oak floors, as well as teak-lined ceilings.
On the ground floor, the kitchen is designed around a bespoke marble island bench, which features an artistic free-form natural waterfall and teak timber extension. The impressive marble stone was imported from Italy to complete this luxe design.
The main kitchen, which is fitted with Gaggenau appliances, adjoins a large second kitchen complete with a Miele induction cooktop, a wok and teppanyaki plate, among other quality kitchen inclusions.
From the luxury kitchen, you enjoy views of the unique pond, the dining area with feature pendant lighting, an impressive suspended fireplace, a spacious living area and your own outdoor oasis.
In keeping with the sleek Japanese-style design, the interior blends seamlessly with the rear garden. An elevated infinity pool captivates, set against a backdrop of meticulously presented gardens, a sunken lounge area, and outdoor kitchen and barbecue – the perfect space to entertain.
The ground floor also features an enviable home cinema room, an office with separate access and built-in desk, a temperature and humidity controlled wine cellar, as well as a laundry and powder room. Floor to ceiling glass panels and bi-fold doors provide views of the pond as you explore all this level has to offer.
As you venture to the first floor, you discover an impressive resort-style master retreat that continues the opulent design considerations, featuring a stylish round bath in the main part of the room, a spacious ensuite, built-in robe and peaceful views of the rooftop garden and pond.
The three remaining bedrooms are all equipped with ensuites and provide further vantage points of the thoughtfully designed exterior. One of these bedrooms has a larger floor space, a bath in the ensuite and, like the master, enjoys direct access to the garden.
From the rooftop garden, which has another large feature pond and its own deck, you can enjoy vistas of the garden, coastal vegetation and mountains.
‘House of Sakana’ is a one-of-a-kind home that creates a sense of warmth and calm with its impeccable Japanese-inspired design and luxury finishes.
