Nestled on twelve hectares of verdant desert land, this palatial home waits to welcome you. The surroundings are peppered with Mediterranean pines and olive groves, creating a comfortable and secluded oasis. Floor-to-ceiling pocket doors lay bare the sumptuous interiors to the forest air and sunlight. Panoramic views of the countryside pair with the detailed decor inside, creating a sense of harmony – you can’t help but feel at peace here. Stretch your legs and wander the home’s expansive grounds, stopping at one of the outdoor seating areas. Speaking of, don’t you just want to sink your toes in the sand and embrace bare-foot living? We know we do. Balmy days by the pool beckon, and there’s plenty of space to spread out and relax. This is a great retreat to escape the flurry of everyday life, but if you fancy a day out you only need to drive fifteen minutes to reach sandy beaches and quaint villages. You can partake in horseback riding, surfing or winery tours, all popular within this region.

Home truths

    While not all rooms are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home

    Children of all ages are allowed here, but as there are some unprotected drops from terraces and low tables with hard corners, this home isn’t ideal for toddlers, and young children must be supervised at all times

    Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s unrestricted on-street parking here

    The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times

    For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here

    One of the bedrooms is located in the annexe – this would be ideal for those who want a bit more privacy
