Luxurious Devon Villa, Including Private Coastline, Up for Sale for Initial Time
Villa Crusoe, a stunning four-acre estate nestled on the banks of the River Avon, is now available for purchase through Savills, priced at £3.3 million. This picturesque property boasts direct water access, a private beach, and a series of outbuildings, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking tranquillity and privacy.
The villa, built by the Wade family of Nailsea Court, Somerset, has a rich history, having played host to notable guests such as Daniel Defoe, the author of Robinson Crusoe, and Alexander Selkirk, the real-life castaway whose adventures may have inspired Defoe's novel. However, it's important to note that there is no direct historical or biographical link between Villa Crusoe and Defoe or Selkirk; rather, the connection is thematic and inspired by the adventurous spirit of Robinson Crusoe.
The villa offers approximately 3,150sq ft of comfortable and characterful accommodation across three floors. The first floor houses a principal bedroom suite, four guest bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms, and a further bedroom suite on the second floor. The details of the modern extension, which would add 2,148sq ft of accommodation, are available upon request.
In an elevated woodland setting behind the house, a guest suite with a woodburner, en-suite bathroom, and terrace can be found. The villa's unique selling point is its breathtaking views, facing almost due south, offering far-reaching vistas over the tidal reaches of the Avon to the neighbouring Bantham estate.
Villa Crusoe's waterfront facilities include a boathouse, quay, slipway, moorings, and a private beach, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy water sports or simply basking in the sun by the water's edge.
