Landscape

Creating the lush tropical garden was a meticulous process, as the property sits on rocky terrain. The ground was raised by approximately 50 cm of diabase topped with 30cm of soil in the lawn and garden areas. To accommodate the 23 tall palm trees, holes of about 1.5 meters deep were carved into the rock, showcasing the great care invested in shaping this landscape paradise.

Approved Building Permit

Given the land size, there is potential to build a second villa, either as a guesthouse or as a separate residence with its own entrance gate. A construction project for a second 200 m2 villa, with two suites, shared living space, kitchen, and elevated seafront pool, has been approved by local authorities (no expirattion date) and is ready to execute, with flexibility for design adjustments during construction.
