Grounds

View of the upper field

The houses are surrounded by an acre of gardens and fields, terraced in three levels. The lower field offers parking for cars, water for the grounds and privacy from surrounding properties. The top two levels are completely enclosed, creating an outdoor retreat, a safe space for children to play and ample opportunity for lounging and sports.

FLORA

Espaliered lemon trees and kumquats grace the front entrance, and cooking herbs (rosemary, lavender, thyme, oregano) grow in pots outside the kitchen door. A line of olive trees bears fruit in the fall, and plum, black and green fig, hazelnut, loquat, pear and persimmon trees bear seasonal fruit, as do the thornless raspberry and blackberry bushes that climb along the back fence. Feel free to graze! We use no harmful pesticides or fertilizers on the fruits, nuts and berries found on the property.

Wild roses, jasmine, bamboo, horse chestnut, myrtle, cypress, and St. John's wort flourish throughout the property.
