Nestled between the living area upstairs and the bedrooms and office down is an infinity pool with large sun-deck and a water fall feature.
You enter the property through a cobble stoned drive way on the upside of the hill. The landscaping and beautiful tropical plants add to the warm welcome of the generous entry door and horizontal jalousie wooden windows.
