Minehead Coastal Retreat
About This Project
Ultra-modern cubic log home featuring natural weathered timber cladding in a contemporary minimalist design. This two-story coastal retreat showcases vertical timber boards and strategic window placement, creating a striking architectural presence while providing privacy and spectacular views.
This exceptional coastal retreat near Minehead represents the pinnacle of seaside log home design. Positioned on an elevated site with uninterrupted views across the Bristol Channel, this property maximizes its coastal location while providing shelter from prevailing winds.
The retreat features an innovative design with the main living spaces oriented to capture sea views and evening sunsets. The log construction uses specially selected Western Red Cedar that weathers beautifully in the salt air, developing a silver-grey patina that echoes driftwood. Deep overhanging roofs and covered walkways provide protection from horizontal rain while creating sheltered outdoor spaces.
The interior design embraces coastal living with an open-plan arrangement that ensures sea views from every main room. The living area features floor-to-ceiling windows that slide away completely, creating an indoor-outdoor room perfect for summer entertaining. The kitchen includes a large island positioned to enjoy views while cooking, with nautical-inspired details throughout. A separate snug provides a cozy retreat for stormy days.
The property includes three bedroom suites, each with private sea-view balconies and luxury bathrooms. The master suite features a freestanding bath positioned to enjoy sunset views. Additional features include a home spa with sauna and hot tub on a private deck, a games room for family entertainment, and a home office with separate entrance. The landscaped grounds include coastal planting, a sheltered courtyard garden, and direct access to the coastal path. This retreat offers the ultimate in coastal log home living.
