Description
The circular shape of the building was chosen in order to provide spectacular panoramic views from all around the house as well as permitting all day natural lighting. It also enables the house to be quiet, discreet from the outside, having an interior breathtaking garden and a general cosy atmosphere
Golfing facilities are included in the huge fully high fenced garden. Three driving tees will have a clear shot to circa 95m two distant green and two sand banks (Par 3).
The 12.000m2 plus property is situated within its nature preserve. The rural area has not, and will not have any discernible neighbours, as building permission for property development outside of the estate is assured for the foreseeable future, therefore providing the ultimate in privacy, and security.
The estate has 2 miles landscape views up to the sea, a 110 meter front to a wide asphalt road and is bordered by a 10 meter wide brook surrounded by dense Mediterranean woodland and century old trees. There are about 45 olive trees over 400 years old, ornating the front and the garden as well as an orange orchard. There also is room for a future full sized tennis court.
Within the rolling greens surrounding the home, there is a large heated swimming pool, emerging from the house, partially covered to insure bathing on those odd rainy days, continuing onto an overflow and Jacuzzi, including a unique pool bottom circular, glass covered flowerbed.
Designer stainless steel door enters the main hall, allowing a spectacular, across-the-building view to the pool and landscape.
There is marble, wood and deep-pile carpet flooring throughout, all electrically heated.
The kitchens (2 stage) are of exquisite Jacob Jensen design with and Gaggenau and Electrolux appliances, and one walk-in industrial fridge.
Total built-up area is in excess of 1.500m2
