A stunning ‘hobbit home’ once voted property of the year complete with sweeping views, grass roof and a pizza oven is on the market for £4.5 million.

Located just 18 acres above Pen-y-Cwm beach and overlooking the surrounding Pembrokeshire Coast National park, estate agents say this home offers ‘a truly rare opportunity to own a slice of Welsh paradise’.

Every day in the seven-figure home begins with the sound of the sea and ends with a horizon painted by breath-taking sunsets. 

The four-bedroom home, designed by acclaimed architect Tom Kinver, is on for sale with Fine & Country for £4,500,000.

With a curvilinear design, a living grass roof and light-filled interiors and a secluded, sweeping driveway, the property gives the impression of a ‘hobbit-style’ home immersed in nature. 

The property boasts carefully designed wildlife-friendly gardens, beautiful ponds and water features, an established vegetable garden and private entertainment areas and decking with a pizza oven.

Although the stunning property appears incredibly remote, the coastal villages of Newgale and Solva, as well as the market town of Haverfordwest are within easy reach.

Fine & Country’s Nigel Salmon said: ‘It’s a spectacular iconic property with unsurpassable views. There isn’t another one like it.

Extending to approximately 18 acres, the gardens and grounds at the property create a breath-taking and secluded coastal haven above Pen-y-Cwm beach
