The “Mandalay” home at 44/7 Tari Place, Trinity Beach combines a modern makeover with tropical influences in a “redesigned, refurbished and renovated” retreat.
Designed by one of the region’s most respected building architects, Chris Van Dyke, the pole home sits high above the ocean with views of the Coral Sea, Palm Cove and Cape Tribulation.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom eco-friendly smart home features multiple indoor and outdoor living areas for entertaining across three levels, as well as a modern kitchen with integrated appliances.
Its new owners will also enjoy uninterrupted ocean views, as well as private access to Trinity Beach and the Esplanade.
“You’ll be forgiven if you think we have just stepped into a luxury resort in the Bahamas because that’s exactly what it feels like,” RE/MAX real estate says.
“The unique hexagonal home was designed to appreciate the panoramic views from almost every room and at the same time promote comfortable living in the tropics by capturing natural shade and the cool ocean breezes all day long.”
Selling agents Sean Thorpe and Jan Hooghe say the home offers luxury features you would expect to find in any five-star executive retreat in the Bahamas.
The property is tucked away on a residents-only road accessed via an electric gate.
The 1,068sqm block also boasts an in-ground pool and several decks to enjoy the serenity of the rainforest escape, with the surrounding tropical gardens creating the feel of a private sanctuary.
It will be sold at auction on December 2.
