Villa
IMPORTANT NOTE: The description in this listing refers to BOTH the "estate home" (main villa - this listing) AND "Annex" (guest villa - ********/702772), which are available separately or together. While the main home can sleep up six persons comfortably, it is originally a ONE BEDROOM; it has recently been redesigned with, in addition to the bedroom level, the living level as a studio apartment. If your party is large, and you desire more accommodation or privacy than the main villa can provide, please see our adjacent, and completely separate and private, 2-bedroom described below and on ********/702772. This is the PERFECT venue for a honeymoon, a couple desiring elegant and luxurious accommodation, or a family with young or grown children. Consequently, we set our rates for TWO...IMPORTANT NOTE: The description in this listing refers to BOTH the "estate home" (main villa - this listing) AND "Annex" (guest villa - ********/702772), which are available separately or together.

This is the PERFECT venue for a honeymoon, a couple desiring elegant and luxurious accommodation, or a family with young or grown children. Consequently, we set our rates for TWO PERSONS, and there is an additional charge for each person over two,. Parties of 7 persons and more must then include the guest quarters at the additional rate, up to a maximum of 10, and must reserve it separately. Due to the popularity of the commission-based property rental sites (e.g. AirBnB), vacation rentals are appearing everywhere in Bali. Even local families are sacrificing a portion of their iconic rice fields to build small accommodations to rent to tourists for added income. They refer to these "backyard bungalows" as "Villas" ; the vast majority of them would fit in the bedroom of our magnificent 5200 square foot estate home! This elegant and luxurious property, built as the eventual retirement home of an American artist, offers the visitor to Bali a unique and very special experience. It is a "custom" home in every way: design and construction, materials, layout, decor, furnishings, and amenities. It occupies a huge lot of 1400 sq. meters - more than five times the size of most local rental properties. From across the rice fields as you approach, it lies impressively expansive against the tall palms of the river valley, stretching across behind the rice fields and into the palm trees beyond. By night, the house glows at the end of its pathway, the lighted traditional shrine in the northeastern corner indicating the unusual size of this very special property. Built on a bend of a small river valley and situated at the END of the 'Path to the Sacred Spring' this truly astonishing villa is without question one of the most beautiful and tasteful accommodations in Bali, and likely the largest available for (occasional) rental. Featuring a majestic, remote, very private and peaceful setting, it contains two full (partially outdoor) baths, two king-sized beds (one of which is "super-king", 200cm x 200cm), one queen, and an additional double and single to accommodate larger families or groups; a two-story interior atrium (designed with a waterfall, which is currently under repair); and a fully-equipped modern kitchen. You will find Egyptian cotton towels, high-thread count bed linens, hair dryers in each bathroom, bedside reading lamps, a tower office with panoramic view, a fine collection of local art, and a great many more amenities that are not offered or all too often overlooked in other offerings. One example of the thought and care that has gone into the preparation of this home is the mosquito netting (largely decorative, as the house is quite mosquito-fee) surrounding the "master" king-size bed. Having become tangled in such netting after many trips to the tropics, the owner designed and built a hardwood frame, suspended from the ceiling, that allows the netting to hang to the floor approximately two feet from the bed on three sides. One can walk around the bed entirely within the curtain of the netting!. Marble, granite, and natural stone are used throughout, and over 25,000. man-hours have gone into to the hand-carved stone accents and intricately carved wooden doorways. Examples of many of Bali’s finest artistic endeavors are displayed: painting, wood-carving, batik, ikat weaving, stone-carving, etc. Most of the furnishings, including bathroom and kitchen cabinets, are custom make of teak, locally made and most with hand-carved accents. Outside, the landscaped grounds boast over 3000 square feet of landscaping, pool and lounge area (the two-level swimming pool is comparable in size to those of most local hotels, the lower level a shallow pool for the safety of children and in which they can play under the waterfall from the main pool above); intricately carved traditioal Balinese shrine; stone statuary, fountains, tropical landscaping, and an uninterrupted view of the river valley. Surrounded by a high wall, a feature of traditional Balinese architecture, the house and grounds are completely private and blissfully peaceful, yet are open to the near-180 degree view of the rain-forested river valley below. Our staff consists of our young and enthusiastic house manager who spent two years aboard a cruise ship to polish
