In a quiet community in west Wales lies a hidden gem where residents wake up each day in awe of their surroundings. Welcome to Pentre Nicklaus Village in Machynys, a seaside paradise less than a mile from Llanelli’s centre but a world away in terms of tranquillity and breathtaking views. With around 170 homes designed in a ‘New England style’, this development resembles a Welsh version of The Hamptons, offering picturesque terraces and balconies overlooking the sea—a scene reminiscent of Seahaven from the Truman Show.
Residents like Janice Gallacher, who moved to Pentre Nicklaus in 2004 with her late husband Stuart, cherish the beauty surrounding their home. Janice enjoys stunning views of the Millennium Coastal Path from her property and appreciates the ever-changing scenery and sunsets that grace her daily life. Similarly, neighbours Carwyn and Susan Richards, who returned to the area in 2014, are captivated by the coastal views and the convenience of living close to shops and family.
Further along the village, Garry is undertaking a renovation project to maximise his property’s coastal views. His decision to move to Pentre Nicklaus six years ago was driven by a love for the sea and outdoor activities, making it a lifestyle choice for him and his family. Garry takes pride in his home’s connection to Gareth Jenkins, a former Wales rugby player, who has ownership history of the house. Despite the high property cost, residents like Garry feel privileged to live in a place that feels like a nature reserve at their doorstep, offering an ever-changing, stunning view that they never take for granted.
Living in Pentre Nicklaus means waking up to nature’s beauty every day, just a short walk away from urban life. Residents feel a sense of peace and serenity as they gaze out of their windows, feeling like they are worlds away from the noise and chaos of everyday life. The community’s bond with nature and the sea shapes their daily experiences, making Pentre Nicklaus a true seaside paradise in the heart of west Wales.
