This place is magic. Immaculate presentation, sprawling grounds, framing the landscape perfectly with so much to explore and enjoy. The house is magnificently appointed and so hospitable and excellent communication with the property manager who was lovely. Couldn’t recommend this property more!

Why they chose this property
This peaceful & private villa retreat is located in a place called ‘The Promised Land’, and the name is not wrong! It’s always green and beautiful, especially in late spring/ early summer (sept-nov) In the mild winter (june-aug), the mists & fireplace make it really cozy and romantic. The energy at the gorgeous property is pure peace and relaxation.
What makes this property unique
The healing tranquility! It’s super relaxing. The luxury estate is set on 5 verdant, riverside acres, and it’s all yours. The views are breathtaking and change by the hour. There’s a kind of mystical calm peace at this place. It’s blessed. Beautiful formal gardens blend onto sub tropical gardens towards the river. The villa is 300 sqm + its large outdoor terraces, and lovingly furnished with expensive decor, perfectly suited to the selective couple. It’s angelic.
