Taking inspiration from international luxury resorts, this Pegasus property with asphalt shingles over a Dutch gabled roof has you in holiday mode from the moment you pull up to the entrance portico, with planting that makes you think tropics. The home’s H-shaped design wraps around the outdoor living areas, offering protection from the prevailing easterly and privacy from neighbours. The living and main suite look out on to a swimming pool and grounds that appear endless thanks to the 18th fairway of the Pegasus golf course beyond.

The relaxing vibe follows you inside where wooden floors, ceiling fans, gas fires and skylights in the living, kitchen and dining areas ensure comfort summer and winter. Barn-style doors shut the media room off from the formal dining room with both areas in close proximity to the wet bar that continues around from the kitchen bench. Doors on the other side of the dining room open to a portico sheltering the outdoor kitchen and bar. With a powder room tucked in, this wing says, ‘let me entertain you’. The eastern wing says ‘tuck yourself up for the night’ with three bedrooms sharing a family bathroom, a guest room with walk-in robe and ensuite, and the main suite enjoying access to a private patio.
