High strength Panelco construction, LED lighting, solar water heater, energy-efficient pool equipment, and bio-garden greywater systems, create efficiency and great value.

Entering the home from the covered parking area, one will realize that no detail has been overlooked. The open floor plan allows for indoor/outdoor entertaining, and large Europa windows and doors provide security and the incredible vistas will take your breath away! Custom kitchen cabinetry and furniture, built-in custom closets, and imported Sukabumi tile from Bali in the pool are just a few of this home's tasteful features.

Your guests will feel spoiled when they enter their own master suite! Much thought has been given to the indoor-outdoor living, including access to the shower from the pool area, as well the outdoor shower. The split floor plan allows for privacy and ease of living. The master bedroom with wrap-around windows might just keep you in bed a little while longer – and why not? Pamper yourself with ample closet space, double vanity, and an oversized shower, featuring a large window that offers the sense of showering outdoors, with the privacy one truly wants in their paradise home.

At cocktail hour guests will arrive to enjoy a home built for entertaining, and marvel at the sunset views from the covered patio. A convenient half bath is located just outside the pool area so guests do not need to use the owner's suite or guest suite. Thought has been given to amenities as well as utilities that have a low environmental footprint, with maximum lifestyle and easy-living finishes.
