This colonial style house sits on raised land on 2nd row and faces the north east which ensures the sea breezes flow through the house during the hot season.
Beneath the infinity pool is an ‘Enchanted Garden’ – an ancient coral quarry which is now a panoply of plants, shrubs and trees – an untamed delight. There is a small waterfall area which can be ‘activated’ once you install a pump. One could enjoy the sanctuary for quiet contemplation, healing or spiritual space or children could enjoy their own little ‘Garden of Eden’.
This property is accessed from the main Diani Beach road but is set a few metres in from the road so away from the noise and is only a 400 metre walk to the beach.
