Seaside castle - Sovereign Island home
Inspired by an elite property in the South of France, 'le Chateau par la mer' or 'the castle by the sea' is the first home specially built from handcut Mt Gambier limestone in Royal Albert Ave on the exclusive Sovereign Islands.

An architecturally designed breathtaking mix of new world luxury with old world style and charm, the property features exterior hand cut limestone and internal cavity brick with limestone features. Internal living is sumptuous from the five ensuited bedrooms through to the home theatre room with wet bar, authentic stone wine cellar with wrought iron features and six metre stud in social spaces.

The exterior is lightly textured with Resene Sandtex mediterranean effect and Resene Lumbersider satin acrylic on soffits tinted to a custom colour match to a limestone block.

Inside two coats of Resene Zylone Sheen low sheen acrylic provide relaxed living in the form of Resene Spanish White (complex neutral), Resene Triple Spanish White and Resene Navarone (camel beige) complemented by Resene Lustacryl tinted to Resene Spanish White on woodwork.

Combining tasteful luxury living with direct beach access, this home screams quality fit for royalty.
