EXTERIOR

A terrace and a comfortable courtyard are provided for outdoor living. One will choose where to sit depending on the month of the year and the needs at this time (shade or sun). Currently a new spa/jacuzzi has been installed on the terrace, comfortably fitting 6 people, the perfect place to enjoy a cool area during the hot summer days.

The courtyard is a little jewel, with a big bougainvillea providing a note of colour and plenty of bushes, providing much needed shade during the hot summer months.
The courtyard is walled and very private, and a gate opens to the back road. The eye catcher is the stone built arched feature with a water tap.
This superb village house offers all comforts with an amazingly functional interior and built with the highest quality materials. It could function as a home away from home or as a holiday home with rental potential.
This amazing property built on a solid rock should be viewed to be fully appreciated.
