Fenbury seeks EOI on once in a lifetime opportunity

Property developer Fenbury has taken a bold leap forward as it expands its portfolio, with its latest offer, The Moorings, representing a rare lifestyle opportunity in one of the most magnificent waterfront estates in Sydney. Nestled in an exclusive enclave in Newport, on the revered Winji Jimmi Bay of Pittwater, within the former Sirsi Marina, the development features eight lots each with its own generous private 25 – 30 metre enclosed marina berth, with the option for buyers to acquire a custom Scott Carver- designed home.

Complete with a customised concierge design service, to make creating the dream home effortless for time poor buyers with an affinity for the water and a relentless eye for detail and craftsmanship, The Moorings provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity that will in time undoubtedly become one of the handful of landmark properties within Sydney’s exclusive high-end property scene.

The expansive >6,000 square metre site is located at 122 Crescent Road, Newport, with the total land and water offering ranging from 1,155 square metres to 2,354 square metres. Land and marina berth prices start from $5.5 million, with prices for the combined land, marina berth and custom Scott Carver- designed homes start from circa $9 million subject to size and finish.

According to Peter Grant, Director of Fenbury’s co-agent, Domain Projects, and northern beaches property guru, The Moorings represents a rarity in the Australian real estate landscape that truly has the potential to meet buyers’ every need.

“Not often does a buyer have the luxury of creating a beautiful, unique custom-built home with an ongoing concierge service to ensure that every desire is catered for from design through to completion. Exclusive berth ownership and the ability to set sail from their very own property as and when they wish, is also hugely appealing to those who own or plan to purchase a boat in the future,” said Mr. Gant.

“Underpinned by Fenbury, a developer that prides itself on creating and enhancing prestigious property portfolios, The Moorings genuinely provides an all-in-one solution for the most discerning buyers, the privileged few, who are also looking to establish and protect generational wealth. This value proposition, blending the ultimate in lifestyle with a future-proof asset is an aspect of the property journey that will appeal to astute buyers that place as much emphasis on the fiscal return as they do the value in living day-to-day in enviable luxury and shared the experiences of a wonderful waterfront lifestyle that allows them to set sail from their very own doorstep,” said Mr. Grant.

Fenbury Founder and Managing Director, Sammy Soliman reinforced the buyer value the Moorings represents.

“The Moorings is a perfect example of our vision at Fenbury, to set our clients and their families up for continued success, in prestigious waterfront locations that are not only highly sought after right now, but so rare that their ongoing value is guaranteed. We are providing an end-to-end solution for those purchasers fortunate to be taking the ultimate step in their property journey as they set to focus on a luxurious lifestyle and sacred family time spent in a generational home that fulfils their dreams,” said Mr. Soliman.

One of the defining attributes of The Moorings is the cohesiveness that infuses the entire development, achieved through the strategic use of scale and the selection of natural materials. The homes planned all share a similar scale, creating a visual symphony where each dwelling gracefully complements its neighbours.

Each residence will encapsulate the relaxed and informal style of the northern beaches, all with a refined elegance, taking full advantage of the natural surroundings and waterfront setting and featuring one-of- a-kind artworks from renowned artist, Ash Holmes.

Complemented by an abundance of light and stunning views, and indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, homes will all be built with natural materials like timber and stone, reflecting the elements of the coastal environment. Bedroom and recreational area configuration is entirely based on what matters most to the individual purchaser, and may include up to four bedrooms, a wine cellar, cinema room, pool and lift access.

Each residence will be meticulously crafted through an inside-out approach, precisely considering the play of light to create bright and inviting spaces. This design philosophy offers a profound sense of openness and connection with the breathtaking panoramic surroundings while also ensuring that privacy is a cherished feature, allowing owners to relish the stunning views of Pittwater while cocooned in the tranquillity of their own home.

Director of Scott Carver Architects, Edward Salib, the author behind the overall aesthetic envisioned for the project, said the essence of The Moorings from a design perspective, lies in Fenbury’s commitment to individuality.

“The homes to be built at The Moorings, pending individual approvals subject to each owner’s personal vision,will ultimately be more than just buildings; but instead, living, breathing embodiments of Pittwater’s history and the vision for an enriched, harmonious life. Each home will represent the intersection of where the past meets the future in a celebration of comfort, elegance, and a deep connection to the land and sea,” said Mr. Salib.

“Additionally, each residence will bear its own unique character, meticulously crafted to harmonise with its specific location. This enthralling blend of diversity and consistency will ensure no two homes are alike, yet they all will share a contemporary and environmentally responsible architectural theme,” he added.

The key to this remarkable approach lies in the recognition that every home is one of a kind. Each house, in its own way, will become a reflection of the land it graces and the views it beholds.

Pittwater has drawn those with an affinity for the water, both boat lovers and beach goers, to its serene shores since the 1950s, when it was a port for steamers. To this day, it retains its charm with curated shops, a laid-back lifestyle, lush greenery, and a welcoming community. It is these influences that make The Moorings more than just a home; it is a symbol of prestige and an invitation to sail into a world where remarkable beauty meets luxurious exclusivity, and the rhythm of life is set to the gentle cadence of the sea.

With planning approvals in place for site works, and lots prepared for immediate construction commencement, expressions of interest are now open for interested parties.

Fenbury’s residential pipeline includes the recently launched Mayfair Bondi Beach, a selection of seven exquisite three-bedroom residences of breathtaking luxury upon the city’s most revered coastline, Avalon Waterfront, an expansive 8,500 sqm site planned for subdivision into two one-acre lots, setting the stage for two exceptionally luxurious, and unparalleled homes within the northern beaches region; and a visionary recreational maritime precinct in the coastal town of Eden (equi- distance between Sydney and Melbourne), which will comprise several key components including a 4.5 Star international hotel, restaurant, outside terrace and bar, conference centre, branded residences and marina, all designed to stimulate economic growth and enhance the appeal of Eden as a tourist destination.
