Description
Ancarva is luxurious waterside property offering a truly unparalleled living experience. Located on the stunning River Tamar, with breathtaking panoramic views across the estuary, this contemporary masterpiece is the ultimate destination for those seeking exceptional comfort and style. Whether you're a sailing enthusiast or simply looking for a relaxing getaway, or indeed a permanent home in Cornwall, Ancarva offers serene surroundings and incredible natural beauty. This stunning modern home sits right on the water’s edge, boasting its own private mooring and pontoon, making it ideal for boating lovers.

The layout is reverse-level, thereby making the best of the south-facing river views.
