Mother of four and model-turned-celebrity chef, Sham explores Mont Verra, one of the city’s most elite residences

Perched atop Beacon Hill and boasting some of the most breathtaking views in the city, Mont Verra’s impressive elevation is more than just a physical feature. It’s a testament to the development’s elevated standard of living, offering discerning individuals in Hong Kong a rare opportunity to live life at the pinnacle of sophistication and comfort.

A stunning addition to the city’s elite residences, Mont Verra is fast becoming one of the most sought-after addresses. The 235,000 sq ft site area offers extraordinary panoramic views of Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, stunning architecture, premium amenities and an unparalleled sense of serenity that sets it apart from other luxury properties.

A peaceful and calming home is essential. As Esther Sham, the renowned model-turned-celebrity chef, can attest—the home is the heart of a family. For the busy head of the award-winning French bistro Maison Es and private kitchen Ta Pantry, low-density living in a development like Mont Verra offers an undeniable appeal; it is an arrangement that perfectly suits her love of cooking, entertaining and spending time with loved ones. “To me, what turns a house into a home is the feeling of warmth and comfort that it provides,” says Sham, a mother to three boys and one daughter.

Featuring private rooftop areas and lush courtyards, opulent marble walls and solid wood flooring, as well as wall-to-wall windows that flood the space with natural light, Mont Verra is an oasis that seamlessly blends contemporary design with nature, providing a tranquil retreat for any family.

“The perfect home should have plenty of space to grow and play, thoughtful finishes, and kid-friendly amenities that make you feel right at home,” says Sham. “And of course, a bright spacious kitchen that’s ideal for entertaining and being present with my family is a must in my home.”

The clubhouse meanwhile offers top-of-the-line recreational and leisure facilities, such as a 25-metre indoor heated pool, fitness centre, children’s play areas, sauna and steam rooms, and a yoga and dance studio.

Mont Verra offers a diverse range of property types to suit a wide variety of residential needs; there are 61 spacious apartments and garden units, simplex and duplex penthouses, and three spectacular mansions—each named after one of the natural elements—with grand living spaces and high privacy.
