‘Machan’ is a gracious waterside residence overlooking its own magical valley gardens and enjoying spectacular views of idyllic Falmouth Bay. The estate is located in the extreme south west of England which is renowned for its mild climate. The house was built in the early 1930s in the Art Moderne style which was the elegant precursor to Art Deco. Machan is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or raising a family away from the stresses of big city life.

The current owner purchased the estate in 1997 determined to undertake a complete refurbishment of both the house and the surrounding land which now extends to about 13 acres of formal gardens, woodlands, and a freshly planted orchard. The restoration project has been declared a ‘triumph’ by both the London Times and the New York Times. The house now comprises four grand bedrooms each with its own individually styled bathroom, two reception rooms, a formal circular dinning room capable of seating sixteen people, a generous country style kitchen, an indoor swimming pool and gymnasium, a large wine cellar, together with a two bedroom and one sitting room guest or staff quarters - in all more than 7,000 square feet. Three of the grand bedrooms and the main living room have terraces which extend the living area by a further 2,700 square feet. The property includes an orangery, a two car garage, workshops and various storage facilities.

Machan is approximately ten miles from the historic market town of Helston and the Culdrose naval airfield which accepts private aviation during operational hours. Several airlines operate from Newquay about forty five miles north east of Machan and there is a frequent rail service to Redruth about twenty miles to the north. The area around Machan is famous for its sporting facilities in particular boating and golf. Machan was originally described as a ‘yachtsman and golfer’s paradise.’ However, there are many rugby clubs, soccer, tennis, hiking and other facilities near at hand. For the keen gardener there are many world famous gardens in the vicinity, including the well known Eden project, not to mention Machan’s own gardens and orchard.
