This beautiful property was constructed on a pristine site covered with palmetto palms, which the owners took great care to conserve in order to preserve the topsoil and provide protection from any ocean surge on the 200' beachfront.

The house was sited on the highest part of the property, 23' above sea level and 400' from the beach and raised on stilts to provide a view of Winding Bay over these palms. By the beach, shade is provided by a cabana with groves of coconut palms at each side of the property.

Designed by an engineer with help from architect friends to be extremely strong yet light, this home has a remarkable, innovative shape because of its hyperbolic parabolic roof design. This creates the cathedral ceiling effect in the living room and the wow factor experienced by all visitors.

The distinctive roof, consisting of four sections of hyperbolic parabolas, overhangs the walls by 3' to provide passive cooling of the walls giving an under-roof square footage of 2,118 sq ft. The roof is filled with linseed foam for insulation and lined with cypress planking.

The living room has expansive hurricane proof sliding doors front and back to allow the breezes to blow through, and further doors allow access from the bedrooms to the front deck. Fans in every room reduce the need to use the four air conditioners. Between the front and back decks, shade is always ensured.

The bay, with its 2 mile-long pink sand beach is protected from the Atlantic swell by a reef which creates almost 400 acres of sheltered waters for safe swimming, fishing, sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking and other waterborne sports, as well as a breeding ground for turtles. A short haul over a sandbank leads to Half Sound, an even larger almost totally enclosed bay where turtles and baby sharks also abound, and ospreys hunt.

The house is all on the same level with wheelchair access from the parking area. The large window in the galley kitchen allows anyone cooking to enjoy the ocean view, while a barbeque is located on the back deck.

In addition, the house was built by a local builder of repute, who lives a mile away, and who undertakes any maintenance needed.

Complete privacy is afforded. Surrounded by native vegetation and coppice, and enclosed down a winding road, the homesite rises majestically above the ocean and the dune. Because of its central position in the middle of Winding Bay, it is possible to see the changing colours of the Atlantic Ocean from inside the house at the front all day long, and to enjoy the glints of orange light from the sunset on the rear balcony while barbequing or simply enjoying a glass of wine.

The property is just a 15-minute drive from Rock Sound International Airport, where private jets can park. Shops are easily accessible in the nearby settlements of nearby Tarpum Bay and Rock Sound
