Owls Nest - Upton Towans - Nr Gwithian

What can we say about this stunning home that is Owl's Nest.

Completed in 2023 to a unique architectural design which has fully incorporated natural materials such as Douglas fir to create an exquisite contemporary beach home that sits in harmony with its superb surroundings.

You will feel as if you've discovered your own special corner of Gwithian, with private access to the sand dunes and the vast beach beyond, which was voted The Times and Sunday Times 'Beach of the Year 2024'.

From the moment you enter, the high ceilings and ample use of glass throughout the property has created an interior that feels bright, spacious and connected with the outdoors.

The hub of the home is the large triple aspect open plan living/dining/kitchen which has views across the totally private natural gardens. The vaulted ceilings add real volume to this incredible living space and the large rooflights bring an abundance of daylight, creating a light and airy space. The woodburning stove adds to the magic. Extensive use of vertical Douglas fir panelling creates a fabulous restful atmosphere.

The bespoke kitchen is superbly equipped with quartz worktops and an excellent range of integrated appliances.

Porcelain floor tiling with underfloor heating creates a wonderful relaxing environment.

Large windows and sliding doors give direct access onto the gardens.

The ground floor features 2 very good sized double bedrooms and a luxurious spa-like shower room.

The ground floor also features one of the coolest utility rooms we've ever seen!


A bespoke oak staircase leads to the first floor where there's a games room/snug or occasional 4th bedroom, which overlooks the main living room.

The main bedroom has a freestanding bath and useful storage areas, with rooflights ensuring it feels spacious and bright.

Finally, the first floor is completed by a luxurious ensuite shower room.

Externally it's really hard to describe just how private the grounds are.

Carefully landscaped to provide a generous outdoor entertaining area and useful storage spaces for surf boards, kayaks, bikes etc.

Another great feature is the private outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after a surf session.

One of the features we love the most is the gate leading directly to a footpath which leads across the dunes to the glorious sandy Towans beach, which stretches for 3 miles from Hayle to Godrevy Lighthouse.

It is also worth noting that the surrounding land is SSSI and protected by Cornwall Wildlife Trust.

Owl's Nest has been one of the most successful holiday lets on Airbnb and has a fantastic return. Further information can be provided to interested buyers.

Situated at the head of a shared private road the property is minutes from Hayle, St Ives and Penzance.
