Step through the magnificent triple-volume covered Portico into a grand entrance hall bathed in natural light, where a captivating walkway over water leads to an enchanting open-air Zen garden complete with a tranquil pond and fountain - the first of five exquisite water features that infuse the property with serenity.

The modern kitchen, equipped with premium Miele appliances, features panoramic windows and folding doors that open directly to the pool, gardens, and outdoor entertainment areas - making it the perfect hub for culinary creativity and effortless entertaining.
Upstairs in the main house, the indulgent master suite reigns supreme, offering a private balcony with sweeping views of the estate, mountains, and beyond - enjoyed from both the bedroom and its lavish en-suite bathroom (complete with a scenic bath and a truly exceptional walk-in closet boasting his-and-hers spaces and abundant shoe storage). Two additional en-suite bedrooms, each with unique feature walls, luxurious bathrooms, and their own balconies, complete the upper level.
A dramatic suspended bridge crosses above the central pool to the dedicated entertainment wing, housing a fully equipped gym, 6-seater steam room, Rasul spa, private cinema room, office, and bar area - ideal for leisure and productivity. The estate-style guest wing provides exceptional privacy with two en-suite bedrooms, each opening to private patios overlooking a serene reflection pond, plus a fully equipped open-plan kitchen and living area - rivaling the finest boutique hotel suites. For added convenience, a separate guest cottage with French inspiration from Vintage French Furniture (or staff quarters) includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, open-plan living, dining, and a complete kitchen. At the heart of this magnificent home lies the expansive central courtyard: a sparkling pool, traditional Boma, lush landscaped gardens, and multiple water features that invite relaxation and unforgettable gatherings.
