Marine Drive, Bude, EX23

Gaia is an extraordinary coastal residence that embodies the pinnacle of modern design, luxury, and sustainability. Positioned directly on the shores of Widemouth Bay, this five-bedroom detached home offers over 4,300 sq. ft. of carefully considered living space, crafted to make the most of its dramatic coastal setting. Every aspect of Gaia has been meticulously designed to create an elegant, light-filled home that combines unparalleled luxury with cutting-edge eco-credentials. Entering the property through a custom-designed intercom gate, you are welcomed into a beautifully landscaped courtyard, providing ample parking for several vehicles alongside an integrated double garage, complete with an electric car charging point. This striking approach is punctuated by the stunning bespoke Pivot Door with a Liquid Metal finish. This one-of-a-kind finish sets the tone for the rest of the design found throughout the property. As you step inside, you are greeted by a dual-height entrance hall that immediately showcases Gaia’s exceptional craftsmanship. Above, a custom AMOS lighting installation cascades gracefully from the first floor, perfectly framing the magnificent turnback floating timber staircase with its sleek glass balustrade and a roof light above the stairs. This thoughtfully curated entryway sets the stage for the home’s fluid design, which is further enhanced by resin flooring throughout, providing a seamless, modern aesthetic that works in harmony with the underfloor heating, offering both style and comfort. On the ground floor, the home offers four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each with its own walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en-suite shower room. This level is also home to the leisure suite, featuring a custom-built sauna and a well-equipped gym with a Sonos-integrated sound system, creating the perfect environment for relaxation or fitness. From this area, direct access to the outdoor hot tub adds a further touch of indulgence, ideal for unwinding after a day by the sea. Ascending the beautifully crafted floating staircase, you arrive at the heart of the home—an expansive, open-plan living area designed to take full advantage of Gaia’s enviable coastal views. The Dekor Kitchen, featuring sleek contemporary cabinetry, integrated Siemens Studio Line appliances, and a large central island with a breakfast bar, is as functional as it is stylish. This 46ft living and dining space is framed by sliding glass doors that lead out to the first-floor terrace, where uninterrupted views over Widemouth Beach create the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening meals. The living area, cinema room, and other spaces are enhanced by remote-controlled Designers Guild curtains, combining luxury with convenience in the most elegant way. The first floor also houses the principal bedroom suite, a sanctuary of calm with dual-aspect windows that flood the room with natural light while offering breathtaking views of the sea. The suite includes a walk-in dressing room and an en-suite bathroom with a free-standing bathtub and roof light above, providing a private retreat for the homeowner. For those working from home, a private study on this level offers a quiet, focused space with beautiful sea views. A standout feature of the first floor is the dedicated cinema room, an intimate space designed for cosy movie nights or as an additional family lounge. This room comes with the option to purchase a custom-built sofa that perfectly fits the dimensions of the space, ensuring the utmost comfort and a flawless fit for this luxurious environment. One of the most striking features of Gaia are the terraces and outdoor seating areas. The lawned garden is expansive and private. A decked area is ideal for enjoying drinks in the sunshine. On the first floor there is a balcony to the front and another large decked area for sitting out. On the second floor is a stunning outdoor space protected from the wind but with stunning views. This beautifully designed outdoor space is perfect for evening entertainment, where you can enjoy a private setting to watch the sunset over the water. Whether hosting guests or relaxing with family, the terrace provides an ideal backdrop for al fresco dining and intimate gatherings. The property’s eco-credentials are impressive, with a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system, underfloor heating throughout, and solar panels generating over 8kWh, ensuring energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact. These systems are complemented by modern conveniences such as Starlink Broadband, ensuring exceptional internet connectivity, and USB outlets on plug sockets, providing thoughtful practicality throughout the home. Gaia is also fully equipped with smart home technology, including a Paxton Security System, comprehensive CCTV along with a webcam looking out to sea, allowing the owner to monitor the surf conditions along with the ability to control lighting, heating, and security remotely.
