The impressive innocuous wall enclosing the compound gives only a slight hint of the Pura behind it. When entering through the repurposed 500 year old Monastery gates one is immediately immersed in to the harmony of the environment. The landscaping, recently completed under the supervision of JohnstonVidal, perfectly envelops with the interior spaces. Built almost entirely of organic material including teak wood throughout and limestone, the house perfectly blends with the nature it sits in providing a deep rooted familiar grounding. The house is currently offering two main, beyond your imagination, bedroom suites plus two additional bedroom suites for a total of 4 . There are easy opportunities to add 2 more bedrooms within the existing footprint if required. The breathtaking public spaces including the living room, dining room and open kitchen family room form a horseshoe creating an exterior courtyard around the five star lounge and pool space. The environment telegraphs a calming atmosphere by blending classical and traditional without sparing on any modern amenities such as solar and power pacs potentially supplying several weeks of off grid power. The house is placed on a double street to street lot and includes a three car garage that will make you smile. The house combines a pleasing Balinese aesthetic with thoughtful precise functionality. Originally the house was designed by Sorensen Architects following the LEED certification guidelines.
