Couple lose 

everything 

in house fire 

• By Dylan Smits 

FLAMES ENGULFED a 

couple’s farm home in Prices 

Valley on Friday, destroying all 

of their belongings. 

Fire crews received reports 

of smoke at the rural property 

shortly before 3pm. 

“They’ve lost pretty much 

everything,” said Governors 

Bay chief fire officer Doug Burt. 

One of them worked on the 

surrounding farm, owned by 

Willesden Farms. 

Little River chief fire officer 

John Genefaas said his crew 

were the first on the scene. 

They were later joined by 

firefighters from the Governors 

Bay, Lincoln and Leeston 

brigades. 

Several appliances and tankers 

were utlitised throughout 

the evening to douse the blaze. 

“They did very well of 

course,” said Genefaas. 

Willesden Farm general 

manager Matt Iremonger said 

Christchurch Helicopters, 

which was contracted to assist 

the fire crews, was “invaluable 

in containing the fire”. 

He also thanked the fire 

crews for their work and the 

neighbouring Hampton family 

for first reporting the smoke 

and helping to contain the fire 

before crews arrived. 

The fire crews left the scene at 

about 8.30pm after monitoring 

the ashes for fire risk, said 

Genefaas. 

“It’s so dry at the moment. 

We were just making sure it 

was completely out.” 

Iremonger said he is waiting 

on the results of the fire 

investigation, but believes it 

may have been caused by an 

electrical fault.

Mother 

angry over 

use of prop 

babies in 

protest 


A LYTTELTON mother is angry 

at protesters after her children 

saw prop dead babies at the 

pro-Palestine demonstration 

from their home. 

Protesters created bundles to act 

as dead babies, representing those 

killed in Gaza since the beginning 

of the recent Israel-Hamas War. 

Kylie Guest said it was difficult 

for her young children to discern 

the bundles were props. 

“My 9 and 10-year-old could see 

them lined up all along the footpath 

and of course when you’re 

that small, not only are they just 

bodies, but they looked like bodies 

of (actual) babies,” said Guest. 

About 60 protesters demonstrated 

on the corner of Dublin St 

and Norwich Quay from noon to 

2.30pm on Waitangi Day. 

Some demonstrators blocked 

the road before being dispersed by 

police. 

Guest’s lounge, bathroom and 

children’s bedroom window overlooked 

the protest. 

“There was really no avoiding it.” 

She said her 10-year-old 

daughter was in great distress, 

especially when protesters started 

blocking the road.

• From page 1 

Guest does not want to 

be misunderstood as anti- 

Palestinian. 

“It’s not that I don’t support 

their cause. I absolutely respect 

their right to protest, I just was 

really, really upset in the manner 

that it was carried out.” 

Guest would have liked some 

advanced warning about the 

demonstration. 

“I could have put steps in place 

to stop my children from being 

exposed to things like that.” 

She found the use of red 

paint and the prop dead babies 

offensive. 

“It’s not a 9 and 10-year-old’s 

responsibility to carry the weight 

of the world on their shoulders.” 

Protest organiser Ihorangi 

Reweti-Peters said the use of the 

props and road blocking was 

justified to spread awareness of 

child deaths in the Israel-Hamas 

war. 

“I stand by civil disobedience. 

Our Government still hasn’t 

called for a ceasefire.” 

He said the prop dead babies 

were used to represent the children 

killed in Gaza by Israel. 

Use of the props will likely 

continue at future protests in

protest was fully peaceful. 

“That’s flat out wrong,” she 

said. “The protesters were hitting 

police officers with their signs 

and being dragged off the road.” 

Police said they were aware of 

the use of the props. 

“While we appreciate some 

people may have found the items 

confronting, our primary concern 

was any behaviour that put 

those involved, the public and 

our staff at risk.” 

Police said pepper spray was 

used because “a handful of people 

failed to comply with police 

requests to move and following 

a number of warnings, staff utilised 

tactical options available.” 

A spokesperson said four men 

at the protest were taken into 

custody and charged with obstructing 

a public place, resisting 

police and assaulting police. 

Two of the men, political 

activists John Minto and Paul 

Hopkinson, appeared in the 

district court on Monday. 

Their next appearance is April

‘Let’s put Bill on the wall’ project complete 


A MURAL commemorating 

the life and work of legendary 

artist Bill Hammond has been 

installed at the Lyttelton Arts 

Factory. 

Hammond’s painting, Traffic 

Cop Bay, was selected for the 

mural due to its local references. 

“We have completed something 

that he was keen on. It’s a 

tribute to the community that 

he was very fond of,’ said Hammond’s 

widow Jane McBride. 

Hammond lived in Lyttelton 

since the 1970s and remained a 

resident after his artistic career 

took off. 

The goal of getting a Hammond 

painting on the arts factory 

front had been in the works 

since before his death, but took 

on a new meaning after he died 

in January 2021. 

McBride said the idea came 

from LAF creative director Mike 

Friend. 

“He has always wanted to 

make the end wall of the theatre 

into a boldly local artistic 

statement. He put the idea to Bill 

Hammond who liked it immediately.” 

The ‘Let’s put Bill on the 

wall’ project was born in 2020. 

McBride took a lead role in 

organising. 

During a Lyttelton Arts Festival 

auction in July, the sale of one

Oxford St wall of the Lyttelton Arts Factory. The project was achieved with the support of 

Hammond’s widow Jane McBride, LAF, Te Papa and the local arts community. 

of Hammond’s lithographs in his 

Singer Songwriter series funded 

the mural. 

It is a vinyl wrap covering the 

Oxford St side of LAF. 

Traffic Cop Bay was purchased 

by Te Papa in 2003. The museum’s 

arts collection notes say 

the work presents an ecological 

theme – bird extinctions and 

declining numbers of threatened 

species. 

“It is an example of local art 

that works in a global context. Its 

ecological theme is as relevant to 

international audiences as it is to 

New Zealand.” 

McBride said the mural’s 

reveal on February 2 was a very 

special moment. 

“I was not prepared to feel 

such emotion as I did,” she said. 

“Traffic Cop Bay was simply 

stunning.” 

She is proud Hammond has 

been honoured. 

“He would be very pleased, 

quietly.” 

She said many have been impressed 

by the mural. 

“I have been so happy that 

people have spoken of their joy 

and appreciation. Bill loved Lyttelton 

and was always prepared 

to give back.” 

McBride noted the support 

from Te Papa, LAF, Lyttelton 

Primary School, and the wider 

Lyttelton arts community arts, 

which helped realise the vision of 

putting Bill on the wall. 

A celebration of the project’s 

completion and Hammond will 

be held at LAF tomorrow.

‘Blank canvas’ to be unveiled 


ARTISTS WILL soon reveal a 

series of works celebrating the 

Birdlings Flat community. 

Faced with a blank fence at 

the heart of their settlement, 

residents agreed to imagine it as 

a blank canvas. 

“Because we’ve got so many artistic 

people here. We thought it 

would be good to give everybody 

a chance to do what they want to 

do, rather than having to comply 

with an overall design,” said 

organiser Jan Reeves. 

On Saturday at 4pm, 15 artworks 

created by amateur and 

professional Birdlings Flat artists 

will be unveiled. 

The project ‘Art on the Fence’ 

was conceived in 2020, when the 

new owner of a property in the 

centre of the settlement built a 

boundary fence and suggested 

that a mural be painted on it to 

discourage graffiti. 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 

the idea was put on hold. 

In August 2021 the project 

was launched with a series of 

meetings discussing what kind 

of art the community wanted 

displayed. 

“We wanted to do something 

different and murals are quite 

common,” said Reeves. 

Considering the large number 

of creatives in the settlement, it 

BIG REVEAL: Organisers of the ‘Art on the Fence’ project will unveil 15 panels by 

Birdlings Flat artists on Saturday from 4pm. 

was decided the fence would feature 

a series of artworks rather 

than one by a single artist. 

“What we agreed on quite 

quickly was that everyone’s work 

should have some reference or 

inspiration from Birdlings Flat,” 

said Reeves. 

The artworks are composed 

of a variety of mediums, oil 

and acrylic paint, metal, wood, 

ceramics and beach stones. 

Each piece is created on a 1m 

square panel of plywood. 

Organisers said there will be 

drinks and food available for 

attendees on Saturday, as they 

are hoping for a big turnout. 

Birdlings Flat resident Nathan 

Bonner, also known as the 

busker Mullet Man, will host the 

event. 

Reeves said the art will celebrate 

the different aspects of life 

in Birdlings Flat. 

“We’re quite isolated,” she said. 

“Although we’re sort of in 

the middle of nowhere, the 

houses are quite close together. 

So we’re quite a tight-knit little 

community.” 

The landscape and common 

activities like cycling will feature 

in the art. 

“We like the community spirit 

and we like the openness as well. 

There’s some freedom with being 

in nature.” 

Materials for the project were 

funded by the city council’s metropolitan 

place partnership fund. 

The art fence is located on 

Poranui Beach Rd, opposite the 

Birdlings Flat Community Hall 

and playground.

SURFable sessions 

an annual highlight 

• By Geoff Sloan 

CONNOR DUNCAN-CALEY, 14, hit 

the water on Sunday with members of the 

Sumner Longboarders club for a special 

lesson. 

They were taking part in the SURFable 

sessions at Christchurch’s Scarborough 

Beach to help teach 48 disabled swimmers 

to surf the waves. 

Despite wet and cold weather, the 

novice surfers relished the opportunity. 

They quickly got to grips with the new 

skills with their tutors, while working 

around their disabilities, which ranged 

from blindness to Down syndrome and 

cerebral palsy. 

Event co-ordinator Pete Mannix said 

the annual SURFable sessions wouldn’t 

happen without help from an army of 

volunteers who give up their day to make 

it a special event for the surfers and their 

families. 

“It’s probably the one opportunity a year 

that some of these guys get the opportunity 

to get into the surf experience getting 

onto a surfboard. 

“Whether it’s standing up, sitting down, 

lying down, doesn’t really matter.” 

The Sumner Longboarders club is 

celebrating 10 years of running the free 

surfing lessons. 

Over that time, the members introduced 

around 400 disabled surfers to the sport. 

“(There’s) a lot involved in the setting 

up and the planning and the organisation 

and it all comes together and then the first 

session of the day, we’re standing up here 

on the shore and you hear the hoots in the 

hollers and the laughter and the yahoos 

and you think: ‘Oh, all right, we’re under 

way’. 

“And everyone gets a big grin on their 

face and that lasts all day.” 

Mannix says the event is fully booked 

each year, with more interest than the 

50-member club can accommodate. 

“We’re doing a big review after this 

to look at sustainability and how do we 

expand it. 

“It’s a bit tricky in Christchurch, the surf 

season. The warm weather and the warm 

water doesn’t last very long, so that’s why 

we try and put all the effort into the one 

big event.”

End of an era for outgoing fire chief 


THE LYTTELTON fire chief 

who led the volunteer brigade 

through the 2011 earthquakes 

and Port Hills fires has retired 

after 17 years in the role. 

“I’ve done my bit and I feel 

comfortable and happy with 

what I’ve achieved. 

“The brigade is in good health, 

so why not leave,” said chief 

Mark Buckley. 

The 58-year-old joined the 

brigade 37 years ago after seeing 

the positive impact some of 

his friends were having in the 

brigade. 

“We had association with the 

brigade when I was a venturer. 

We used to run competitions for 

the scouting and a lot of the guys 

used to train us.” 

On one occasion while visiting 

the station, the then-fire chief 

asked him to join. 

“I probably never would have 

envisioned staying as long as I 

have then, but look at me now.” 

Buckley was born and raised 

in Lyttelton and says it’s a special 

community to serve. 

“I would just like to say thank 

you, because of the support the 

community’s given the brigade.” 

It is a unique area to serve, 

Buckley said, due to the port and 

the potential for isolation during

during the earthquakes. 

“The brigade is the community 

and the community is the brigade. 

It’s one and the same.” 

Buckley and his wife, Belinda, 

have raised two sons Logan, 22, 

who works at Air New Zealand 

in Auckland and Connor, 20, 

who lives at home while completing 

a sports science degree. 

He said Belinda has been a 

“godsend and a rock throughout 

the 37 years.” 

Connor joined the brigade 

three years ago. 

“It’s good to see that there’s 

someone follow on after me,” he 

said. “It was his idea which I was 

really surprised at to be perfectly 

honest.” 

Buckley wants to make way 

for his deputy Dwayne Pool to 

become chief. 

LEGACY: Mark Buckley with 

his son Connor who joined 

the brigade three years ago. 

Buckley is proud to be leaving 

the brigade in the hands of quality 

volunteers who have increased 

in number since the start of his 

tenure. 

“I think we can attribute that 

to the earthquakes and people 

seeing that there was need for 

people to belong to the brigade.” 

The brigade’s response to 

the earthquakes was the most 

challenging period of Buckley’s 

career but it is also the time he is 

most proud of. 

“What the brigade achieved 

over a couple of weeks was truly 

awe inspiring,” he said. 

“You’ve got to remember they 

all had jobs.” 

During a typical year the 

Lyttelton brigade usually receives 

between 130 to 150 calls, Buckley 

said. In the week-and-a-half 

after the earthquake the brigade 

received about 650 calls. 

“We were on station here twenty-four-seven, 

basically working 

in shifts.” 

Buckley coordinated the brigade’s 

response from the station 

and also attended call outs in 

person. 

Buckley was also proud to 

receive a Queen’s Service Medal 

in 2019 for services to Fire and 

Emergency New Zealand and the 

community, particularly based 

on his leadership during the 

earthquakes and Port Hills fires. 

One of the biggest challenges 

for Buckley as a volunteer chief 

has been balancing the role with 

his freight transport business 

and family commitments. 

“It has been a task. It has been 

very hard to juggle and portion 

time.” 

He credits his wife and the 

brigade team for helping him 

make it work. 

“There have been times where 

it has taken its toll on the family 

but I’ve got no regrets at all. 

That’s probably why I feel it’s 

time to retire and hand it over to 

someone else.”

Restoration under way for surf club’s 

• By Chris Barclay 

AGE SHALL not weary them, 

but Taylors Mistake Surf 

Lifesaving Club members who 

made the ultimate sacrifice have 

been worn down by sea, salt air, 

sand and sun. 

Seven names of the fallen from 

World War 1 on a memorial 

cairn and sun dial outside the 

clubhouse have dimmed due 

to a century of exposure to the 

elements, prompting a charity 

dedicated to restoring war graves 

to undertake a renovation project 

last month. 

It was well-timed considering 

the club’s World War 2 casualties, 

added 

after the 1939-45 

conflict, suffered 

the same fate 

over time, with 

those six names 

barely legible 

at the popular 

surfing location 

between Sumner 

and Lyttelton. 

New Zealand 

Simon 

Strombom 

Remembrance Army chief executive 

Simon Strombom noticed 

the memorial, designed by then 

club patron Alfred Patterson Osborn 

and unveiled in February 

1925, needed attention when he 

attended a wedding reception at 

the clubhouse last year. 

ELEMENTS: Sun, sea, salt air and sand has damaged the 

war memorial cairn since its unveiling in 1925. 

“I looked at it and thought we 

needed to do it because it wasn’t 

going to last,” Strombom said. 

The Remembrance Army 

organised the removal of two 

weather-beaten brass plaques 

thanks to a $3500 grant from 

Veterans’ Affairs New Zealand. 

The plaques will be replaced 

by a record of the names in Permanite, 

a colour-fast non-fading 

porcelain. 

A rededication ceremony is 

planned around 

Anzac Day, when 

the original 

plaques, restored 

to their former 

glory, will also be 

mounted inside 

the clubhouse. 

Club patron 

and life member 

Jim Turpin, 82,

cairn is the club’s oldest fixture. 

The original clubrooms, built 

in 1916, burnt down in 1952 

destroying historical records, 

including details of the war dead. 

“It’s the only part of the old club 

we’ve got left. It’s very important, 

so it’s wonderful to see it be restored. 

I grew up in the time when 

they were all heroes,” said Turpin, 

who joined the club in 1955. 

“We used to lean on it when 

we were patrolling. Guys would 

loiter around it, look out to sea, 

put a transistor radio on it and 

listen to the cricket.” 

The memorial has already

undergone one restoration after 

it collapsed into raging seas after 

a storm and high spring tides 

combined to weaken the rock 

and concrete terrace in 1978. 

Restoration also led to revision 

with a discrepancy detected with 

the original, namely the incorrect 

spelling of Gustave Vincent 

Petersen as Peterson. 

He enlisted in October 1915 

and was killed in action on the 

Somme on September 15, 1916, 

while serving as a Sergeant in the 

New Zealand Rifle Brigade, 1st 

Battalion.

Longueval, Somme, France. 

Huia Lyonal Wyatt, a Lance 

Sergeant in the Canterbury

in The Great War (1914-18). The 

23-year-old was shot in the head

New round of scholarships and awards 

THE SUMNER Ferrymead 

Foundation has launched 

another round of scholarships 

and awards for residents in its 

catchment area. 

The scholarships – a range 

of academic and Outward 

Bound – and the awards for 

apprentices and the environment 

are sponsored by individuals 

and businesses from the local 

community. 

“We always say the ethos of the 

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation 

is ‘locals helping locals’ and this 

is a great example,” said trustee 

Jane Paterson. 

“Applications are open until 

the beginning of April, and can 

be found on our website.” 

This year the Sumner Ferrymead 

Foundation has widened 

the criteria for its academic 

scholarships and apprentice 

award. 

“We like to receive feedback 

from the community, sponsors 

and former recipients, and on 

the suggestion of past recipients 

we have opened up the scholarships 

to all university students 

who have passed their first year 

of study,” she said. 

“This challenged us to review 

the apprentice award and that 

too has been widened. 

“We are particularly grateful 

to the sponsor Laser Plumbing 

Christchurch East who agreed 

to the award being open to any 

Anna O 

by Matthew Blake 

Anna O hasn’t opened her eyes for four years. 

Not since the night she was found in a deep sleep by the 

bodies of her best friends, suspected of a chilling double 

murder. 

For Doctor Benedict Prince, a forensic psychologist on 

London’s Harley Street, waking Anna O could be careerdefining. 

As an expert in sleep, he knows all about the 

darkest chambers of the mind; the secrets that lie buried 

in the subconscious. 

As he begins Anna O’s treatment – studying his patient’s dreams,

Elastastrap and Thermastrap. The total support range. 

The Chocolate Factory by Mary-Lou Stephens 

Love, friendship and dangerous secrets in the early years of Cadbury’s 

Tasmanian factory. 

It’s 1921, and after years of working for Cadbury’s at Bournville, Dorothy 

Adwell is on her way to a new adventure in the colonies, helping to 

establish the Firm’s new Australian factory. A promotion and a fresh 

start are just what she needs after the horrors of the Great War and the 

loss of her beloved husband. During the long sea voyage, she meets 

Thomas and is immediately drawn to him. The war has left Thomas 

damaged, both mentally and emotionally, and Dorothy vows to help 

him - if only he will let her. 

Maisie Greenwood is the oldest daughter of a war widow, living on 

a pittance in the Hobart suburb of the Glebe. Her mother’s health is 

failing, and with two younger siblings depending on her the security of 

a job at the brand-new Cadbury’s factory is a godsend. With Dorothy’s 

mentorship and her budding romance with fellow worker Frank, life 

begins to look a little sweeter. 

Cadbury’s competitors have one goal: to steal the recipe for Dairy 

Milk, the most popular chocolate in the world. But the recipe is kept 

in a vault and the few who know it are legally bound to never divulge 

its secret. When chocolate spies target the new factory, Dorothy and 

Maisie become caught up in their plot. Can they protect the recipe, 

help those they love and fulfil their own dreams? 

A tangled web of ambition and intrigue melts into a tale as delicious 

and rich as chocolate.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 19 

Big contribution to peninsula’s heritage 

EDWARD AND Charlotte 

Morey had seven children, three 

boys and four girls. Tragically, 

all three boys died young, two 

in infancy and the third, Alfred 

Roelof, aged 7. His grave is in 

the Akaroa Anglican Cemetery. 

Three of the girls married 

mariners – Myra Martha 

married Captain Mello Schenkel 

at the Wesleyan Church in 

Lyttelton in February 1862. The 

writer of this week’s final story in 

the series on Edward Morey, Carl 

Bonniface, is descended from the 

Schenkel line. 

When Edward Morey arrived 

in Akaroa in early 1864 he leased 

land in what is now Rue Jolie and 

built one of the first houses on 

the street. No 109a is still there, 

although it has been added to 

over the years and is today called 

‘The French Rose Cottage’. 

The original house had two 

stories, minus the current bay 

windows, with two rooms 

downstairs and two upstairs 

accessed by a steep narrow 

staircase. The staircase and 

upstairs rooms feature wooden 

match lining, while the original 

hand-sawn board and batten 

exterior cladding remains in 

good condition. 

Other structures Morey built 

during his 18-year stay in Akaroa 

were: 

• 1869: a wooden congregational 

church on the site of today’s St 

Andrew’s Anglican Church in Le 

Bons Bay. 

• 1872: the wooden Okains 

Bay School, still standing proud 

next to the restored St John’s 

stone church, also built by Morey 

in 1863. 

• 1876: the Robinsons Bay 

School, which has been demolished. 

• 1878: the brick and stone 

Farr’s bridge on Rue Jolie. 

• 1879: extensive repairs to 

Hahn’s bridge on Rue Lavaud. 

Both bridges are still in use 

today. 

Morey’s business ventures in 

Akaroa were varied – in August 

1876 he was advertising bricks 

for sale in the Akaroa Mail. 

The location of his brick kiln 

has been a mystery until recently 

Edward Morey and his eldest daughter Myra Martha, c1862, 

Photographer unknown. Reproduced courtesy of Akaroa 

Museum. 

Edward and Charlotte 

Morey’s headstone at Picton 

Cemetery. 

– copies of the original deeds 

have now been sighted showing 

when Morey bought and sold 

the four acres on which the kiln 

was built (in the approximate 

location of 65 Grehan Valley Rd 

today). The writer also has one of 

Morey’s bricks, identified by his 

initials EWM pressed into the 

frog before firing, albeit that this 

example has those initials in a 

different order – MEW. 

Around the same time, Morey 

sank a lot of money into setting 

up Aotearoa New Zealand’s 

first oyster farm in Takamatua 

German Bay, which at its peak 

contained 252,000 oysters. He 

also purchased one acre of land 

in that bay and built two houses 

(where Quail Cres is now), 

which he then put up for sale in 

September 1877. Risky ventures 

like these saw him bankrupted 

twice, first in June 1868, when he 

ended up as a guest in Lyttelton 

Gaol (the irony being he had put 

in a quote to build it in late 1860), 

and again in September 1877. 

Morey was also involved in 

many civic minded projects. In 

August 1877 he set up and was 

captain of the first ‘bucket and 

ladder’ fire brigade in Akaroa 

– there were no high pressure 

water hoses back then. 

He stood successfully for the 

Akaroa Borough Council and in 

1879 fought hard for the railway 

to be extended from Little 

River through to Akaroa, a very 

ambitious project, which never 

eventuated. 

His earlier commitment to the 

Oddfellows Society continued 

when he moved to Akaroa. He 

was actively involved in setting 

up a second lodge which he 

called “Nil Desperandum” – 

meaning “never lose hope”. That 

may well have been his personal 

motto? 

Later, Morey moved to 134 

Rue Jolie (now demolished) 

and set up a building supply 

business and large garden (a 

keen gardener, he won prizes in 

horticultural shows). 

The French Rose Cottage in Akaroa, built by Morey. 

In 1881 Edward and Charlotte 

left Akaroa to be with family, 

first to live in Christchurch, then 

Auckland. In 1892 they moved 

again to Picton to stay with 

members of the Schenkel family. 

Morey died there on 8 July 1892, 

aged 70, due to injuries sustained 

from falling from scaffolding 

while volunteering his labour to 

help build the new Presbyterian 

church. 

Morey and Charlotte, who 

passed away at North West Bay 

in Pelorus Sound on March 14 

1894, aged 72, are buried side 

by side in the Picton cemetery. 

Ironically, after making 

numerous tombstones during his 

lifetime, Edward and Charlotte 

did not have their own until 

descendants of the Morey family 

had one made, dedicating it at 

their grave site on June 5, 2005. 

Edward William Morey, an 

amiable, eloquent gentleman, 

gave much to the various 

communities he lived in and 

left a wonderful legacy around 

Horomaka Banks Peninsula, 

which current generations are 

treasuring.

its neutral color tones and elegant yet casual coastal vibes, creating an immediate sense of calm. The 

open-plan living and family/dining rooms extend to the entertainment space with an undercover alfresco area,

bathroom. Head upstairs, where there is a second living space, perfect for some quiet time away from the 

children, and a master suite complete with a walk-through robe and an incredibly spacious ensuite. 

Reveal the magic and true extent of your beachfront backyard oasis as the alfresco area overlooks the 

pool surrounded by established yet low-maintenance grounds. The triple car garage, off-street parking, and 

fruit tree/veggie garden at the rear of the property make this the perfect family home.
