Have a peek at this posh pad in this exclusive estate and maybe if you're a fan of the TV programme Selling Sunset, that features high-end real estate in California, you could see this detached home in Carmarthenshire as a Welsh equivalent?
It might not have sweeping views of downtown Los Angeles from a swimming pool but it is a fantastic example of a high-end, new build rarely found in this corner of this beautiful Welsh county and it costs nowhere near the L.A. multi-million dollar price tag.
It's time to explore this exclusive, bespoke designed property featuring a range of expensive features and fittings, just please wipe your shoes first and check your hands are clean.
From the moment you pull into the substantial driveway and see the large detached home greeting you, it's clear that this home has oodles of contemporary features to embrace you once inside.
You will have to get through the electric gates first though.
For 'petrol heads' the triple garage will distract them, for lovers of the countryside the peaceful rural location flanked by fields and rolling hills will get their vote.
Through the full-width and double-height glass entrance and into the central hallway, a feature staircase makes the first bold, contemporary statement in the centre of the space.
Inside the design is slick and high-end, but look closely and you will see this house is not a modern, minimalist looking property with a rather sterile interior design style that many contemporary new builds strive to accomplish.
In this modern country home the use of natural materials such as wood and glass, tactile fabrics and rich tones used as accent colours ensure a warm welcome throughout the house, in every space.
At the front of the hallway the choice is right to a separate study or left to a media and family room.
These are very versatile and practical spaces that include bespoke built-in storage and carpentry that comes with the house.
But the real design magic is happening at the rear of the property.
From the front this home looks like a slice of modern luxury, but from the back the view is even better.
From here can be seen arguably the most impressive structural element of the house; a double-height ceiling and whole wall of glass stretching into the apex of the roof.
This design feature transforms the substantial living room into a spectacular space that demands attention and awe.
The room lets you out into the garden too via a set of double doors, as well as providing a beautifully framed view of the garden and country vistas.
Every living room also demands a focal point and the most popular and welcoming through the ages has been a fireplace, first for practical reasons and nowadays more for design.
Of course this new home does not need this rather swanky recessed Gazco horizontal log effect gas fire to heat the space, so the fireplace is purely for visual pleasure and it delivers.
It's no surprise to see the room being used as a personal art gallery, the light, the space and the design of the space is perfect.
The living room flows into another incredible space via a set of double doors that are made of solid wood with glass panels.
This is a clever choice as not only is light shared between rooms but from either space you get enticing visual snippets of the room on the other side of the door.
So, with the kitchen diner calling you in via these doors, leaving the splendid living room behind will be worth it.
Seen by many homeowners as the heart of a home, this open-plan kitchen is so beautiful it is sure to make any visitor's heart beat just a little faster.
Again, a lot of thought has been given to the space; the roofline, ceiling, and windows and doors placement are again major design features.
Looking at the kitchen section of the space, the row of five angled roof windows at the end are of course installed to flood the preparation area with light.
But the choice of five smaller frames at this far end ensures that the eye scans the whole length of the room; it is an unusual feature that draws the eye to the end of the room.
The windows are like a visual anchor or bookend that demands anyone entering the room to be entranced by the whole space.
Imagine that far wall without these five little windows and the space becomes totally centred around the dining area.
Of course there's a reason why the dining area would be the first feature to behold when entering the room, not only is the ceiling raised to a double-height again, mimicking the design of the adjacent living room, but the space is then lit by a mesmerising modern chandelier.
Forget what the chef has served on the plate below, look up and be dazzled by the height, light and space this semi-vaulted ceiling creates.
There are two sets of triple doors out onto a substantial garden terrace from the kitchen diner to create the very popular inside / outside scenario so many buyers are currently looking for but maybe more attention should be focused on the kitchen before stepping outside.
When looking at the source of all aspects of the kitchen design, it's a list of high-end luxury companies that supply high-end homes to owners with an eye-watering budget to spend.
The appliances are from Gaggenau and Siemens, the sink is by Blanco, the works surfaces are from Caesarstone Granite and the carpentry is from German manufacturer bulthaup.
There is focus on the essentials via the deliberate use of just a few, high-quality materials and selected colours to create a seamless structure and visual order.
So this particular kitchen is made up of structurally separate elements: the island, the wall line, and the tall unit block.
In the kitchen there is an intriguing extra door, maybe leading to a pantry?
Well it's a bit more than that, it's a separate room dedicated to the preparation of food including a two burner gas hob, sink and Quooker boiling water tap.
And anyone feeling sad it didn't turn out to be a pantry, don't fret as there is a walk-in pantry hiding behind yet another door at the end of this space.
Of course, this prep room is ideal as a utility room too and has access to the side garden, a perfect entry point for anyone daring to enter the abode with muddy wellies.
Up those special stairs in the hall to the first floor and four spacious bedrooms await.
There is an impressive mastersuite that comes with an ensuite bathroom featuring a double vanity sink unit and vast walk-in shower that almost fills an entire wall.
Also on this floor is a sizeable family bathroom complete with a free-standing, double ended bath for anyone who prefers a long soak to a shower.
All chinawear and fittings in the bathroom and shower room are from Porcelanosa and coupled with the floor and wall tiling and added extras like heated towel rails, these washrooms can claim to feel equally at home within a five star hotel as in this Carmarthenshire country pad.
This house might look good on the surface, but the thoughtful design and the money spent to create a luxury house goes much further than just the choice of bathroom fittings and kitchen units.
The house is visually stunning inside and out for a buyer looking for a contemporary dream home, but it's working hard with features and designs that are maybe not so obvious.
Windows and doors have quadruple lightly tinted glazing and are of a composite construction bringing together the best of both worlds; the durability and versatility of an aluminium exterior frame with the beauty and warmth of natural wood on the inside.
For any potential buyer who is mesmerised by home gadgets the integrated sound system will be a bonus feature to mess about with.
The system has individual room controls which is an added bonus, so while someone is relaxing to the sounds of Mozart in the bath, someone else can be cooking up a storm in the kitchen rocking to Queen.
Outside, the garden has been designed and landscaped to match the quality of the house, but the natural view is of high quality too.
Arguably the best spot to let the special location and views sink in is the sunny rear terrace, also the best place for the al fresco dinner party.
The property is just one of five within an exclusive location in the popular village of Capel Dewi and according to the estate agent popular with commuters to nearby Carmarthen, about five miles away.
But once a new owner has settled in, surely the first thing they will do is relax in the TV room and binge-watch episodes of Selling Sunset and be happy that Carmarthenshire was the furthest they had to travel to get a their hands on a luxury home for less than a million.
This Capel Dewi dwelling is for sale for offers over £800,000 with Fine & Country. Call their Pembrokeshire branch on 01834 862138 to find out more.
