Almost 4.5 hectares (over 11 acres) of private gardens with mature trees, courtyard area with parking, lawns and paddock. The buildings are ideally located in the centre of the plot width providing a private and secluded setting away from the neighbours on either side. The pool and "play area" is positioned to benefit from the stunning views over the valley. It is important to note that a large part of the land is constructible.

The current owners purchased/secured the land to ensure their privacy however the possibility to construct on it remains an option for future owners.
