Sans Souci is a study in resort-scale residential design, where timeless architecture is supported by an exceptional level of infrastructure rarely found in private homes. Situated on 5.5 acres of elevated beachfront in Lyford Cay, the estate was conceived not only for beauty, but for long-term performance, privacy, and seamless daily operation.

The main residence is anchored by a series of carefully proportioned oceanfront rooms that transition effortlessly to expansive terraces, courtyards, and gardens. Formal and informal living spaces are supported by a chef’s kitchen and butler’s pantry designed for professional-level entertaining.

Purpose-built lifestyle spaces elevate the estate’s livability, including a custom media room with theatre-scale viewing, automatic drapery, and a dedicated equipment room, along with a flexible gym or studio, private on-site manager’s office, and a marble pool pavilion serving as the resort-style centrepiece of the property.

Behind the scenes, Sans Souci’s basement level reveals the true depth of its construction, housing walk-in refrigeration and freezer facilities, wine storage, mechanical rooms, water management systems, and pool and fountain equipment, ensuring uninterrupted functionality at scale. Advanced systems include a Rainbird irrigation network, Crestron landscape lighting, smoke detection linked directly to the Lyford Cay Fire Department, and a newly updated alarm and security system.

Designed, built, and operated to exacting standards, Sans Souci exemplifies what is possible when architectural vision and infrastructure are treated with equal importance, resulting in a residence that functions as effortlessly as it presents.
