The big sell: Architect Marko Simcic designed this three-bedroom waterfront cottage with a modern spin in 2015. Situated on five acres towards the southwest corner of Gambier Island, the home consists of a series of stand-alone rooms connected via trellis-covered walkways with the end result being rooms that are flooded with natural light on all sides, aided by the gently-sloping gradient of the land. The conjoined living room and gourmet kitchen showcases a selection of premium Bosch, Miele and Liebherr stainless-steel appliances alongside an expansive centre island, while a feature wood-burning fireplace is flanked by windows framing ocean and treed vistas. Other noteworthy attributes include radiant heating, skylit vaulted ceilings, spa-inspired bathrooms and an outdoor built-in barbecue with a covered dining area. A further bonus? The property comes turnkey ready with all furnishings included in the sale, as well as a Toyota truck.
