The Property

Monterey House is a late 18th century substantial country home retaining much charming character and many historic features located in the unspoilt Roseland Peninsula with stunning beaches and coastline very nearby. Set in large mature grounds, planning permission exists to develop the property into five freehold thoughtfully designed dwellings.

Historical Note. Amongst various uses and ownerships throughout its history, the charming building, dating back to the 1790s, was once a Court House for the Hundred of South Powder. Later, in the possession of an Admiralty surgeon, it became a gracious gentleman’s residence and during the 1950s, the Hundred House took on its status as an hotel, and still retains the historic elegance and charm today.
