This magical Mexican Hacienda-style home is absolutely beautiful, immaculate and abounds with vibrant bright colours, and lovely surprises.

Situated at the top end of a forest-like, wooded plot, the house is entirely shielded from street view and offers complete privacy. It has a definite magical mystical feel.

Entrance from the garden to a large central courtyard is through ornate iron gates, and immediately you’re transported to another world. The heavy wooden fort-like front doors open to a double volume light and spacious reception area, flowing into the dining area and a screened off office space. Reed ceilings and skylights add to the ambience.
The charming country style kitchen leads off to the right and embraces you with colourful blue granite counter tops, a central eating area, a separate laundry and epitomises the heart of the home. Gas hob and double electric oven.
The sunken lounge leads off to the left of the reception area, has a cosy fireplace, and big glass windows and doors.
Each floor has an en-suite bedroom. The main bedroom is currently on the ground floor, but can also be swapped to the first floor. The teak floors, a lovely spacious bathroom with walk in closet offer loads of character. Big windows frame the picturesque woods outside and make you feel like you’re in a fairy tale. Sliding doors leading out onto a patio with fireplace emblazoned with colourful tiles, and with two sides enclosed by stacking doors and windows, allow for warmth and coziness in winter and openness and summer. This leads further to a colourful bar complete with pizza oven, bathroom, and private office space, also spilling out into the woods.
Ground floor also features a charming guest bathroom and a few steps down is a wine cellar doubling up as a small home gym.
