In the exclusive gated development called Daniel Bay, Villa Liene is the first home to be completed and is now available for sale or rent.  It aptly showcases the dream of the developers Blueprint Development to take advantage of the spectacular location overlooking the sea and Willoughby Bay with a first-class luxury home offering comfort and elegant living.

At the center of the 8,500-square foot villa is an expansive living area with peaked wood ceiling and triple-slide floor-to-ceiling glass doors that allow stunning views of the sea and the infinity pool. This leads out to a broad tiled deck with an outdoor dining table seating up to eight people.

The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, with an electronically controlled wine closet, four ovens, and cleverly concealed refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher and spice drawer. The island facing the living room has a breakfast bar seating up to six people that can be retracted to conceal the sink in the other end. All drawers have inset LED lighting that illuminates when the drawers are opened.

The villa offers six ensuite bedrooms, four on the main floor and two on the lower level, with all but one having ocean views.  The master suite is secluded from the three other bedrooms on the main level, and has a large bathroom with separate shower and bath, plus double vanities, toilet and bidet.

The advanced sound system attached to the Sony Bravia television in the living room is set up to send music to any other room in the villa.

The lower level bedrooms, which can only be accessed from the outside, can serve dual purposes. The smaller bedroom can be converted to a study or office, and the larger bedroom, with a laundry room with kitchen facilities adjacent, can serve as household staff quarters.

The cooly contemporary interior design includes white Italian tile floors, deep gray accent tiles on the walls, and modern Italian furnishings throughout.  Attention is paid to luxury appointments in the baths, such as large rainshower faucets, clear glass shower enclosures, triple slide windows in some showers that allow the outdoors in, and subtle LED lighting around sinks.

At the top of the villa is a large tiled sundeck with two small Astroturf putting greens. One area is ready to be converted into an outdoor grill/kitchen area with all the necessary plumbing, gas connections and wiring in place.

The private white-sand beach below the property can be easily reached from a wooden two-level staircase that has an additional sundeck area.

The home in this gated community is wired with a CCTV security system to ensure safe and trouble-free living.

The homeowner has the option of purchasing the .60 acre lot to the southwest to increase their privacy or allow for further expansion.

This villa, the first of five to be part of the Daniel Bay development, is now on the market at US$4.5 million, and is occasionally available for rent until it is sold. It’s a great hideaway for celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, who stayed here in March 2014.

Villa Liene is a beautiful, gracious home providing a serene setting with panoramic ocean views, perfect for entertaining and getting away from it all.
