‘Hobbit-style’ home on sale for $6 million

By Lauren Beavis

A stunning "hobbit home" once voted property of the year is on the market - for $6 million.

Described as "an extraordinary coastal residence," Cwm Mawr is a four-bedroom property that was awarded Wales Home of the Year in 2021.

Set in over 18 acres above Pen-y-Cwm beach and overlooking the surrounding Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, estate agents say this home offers ‘a truly rare opportunity to own a slice of Welsh paradise."

The home, designed by acclaimed architect Tom Kinver, is on sale with Fine & Country for $600,000.

It combines curvilinear design, a living roof, and light-filled interiors with a secluded and sweeping driveway - giving the impression of a 'hobbit-style' home immersed in nature.

The property boasts carefully designed wildlife-friendly gardens, beautiful ponds and water features, an established vegetable garden and private entertainment areas and decking -with a pizza oven.

Fine & Country’s Nigel Salmon said: “It's a spectacular, iconic property with unsurpassable views. There isn’t another one like it.

“Perched in an elevated position, it commands sweeping views over rugged cliffs, open fields, and the endless blue of St Brides Bay.

"This tranquil stretch of coastline offers a perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility, with hidden coves, dramatic headlands, and some of Wales’ most beautiful walking routes right on the doorstep.

“Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, Cwm Mawr is far from remote.

“The charming villages of Newgale and Solva are close by, while the market town of Haverfordwest, just eight miles away, provides shops, restaurants, and amenities.

“All of this lies within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, where every day begins and ends with the sound of the sea and the sight of spectacular sunsets.”

Inside, the stunning property features a light-filled entrance hall with porcelain tile floors underfoot, a ‘breath-taking’ kitchen and dining room and a large sitting room that offers "wonderful panoramic views over St Brides Bay."

The living area is anchored by a central fireplace or feature wall, complemented by built-in bookshelves and gallery lighting for art.

The master bedroom, privately set within its own wing and boasting an en-suite, offers a calm retreat with floor-to-ceiling views across the wildflower meadows and distant sea.

There are four other bedrooms, offering generous footprints and bright natural light.

Elegant bathrooms and carefully curated natural materials throughout the home create an atmosphere of "calm luxury."
