Elevated Living with Complete Privacy

The primary residence, completed in 2021, is strategically located on a hilltop, ensuring complete privacy and commanding views. Spanning 497 m² (412 m² of floor space), it features five spacious bedrooms, seven bathrooms, fitted wardrobes, and contemporary comforts like air conditioning and a heat pump. The home flows naturally into outdoor terraces, a landscaped garden, and a swimming pool—ideal for enjoyment or hosting with ease.

Four additional studios and a guest villa expand your private accommodation or rental capacity, all approved under local lodging licenses.

Tailored for Transformation: Business-Ready Infrastructure

The estate is more than a private residence, it’s a fully licensed and ready-to-operate enterprise with broad development opportunities:

Housing & Rental Licenses: Legal permissions for multiple dwellings and accommodations, including the main house, guest units, pool, and garden areas.
Agricultural & Forestry Licenses: This setup, which includes water pumps, a purification system, an irrigation network, and three operational greenhouses, is perfect for sustainable agriculture or reforestation projects.
Eco-Tourism & Event Licensing: The estate has been approved for various ecotourism services, including a cafeteria, over 45 km of hiking trails, fishing facilities, and plans for equestrian stables. This creates an ideal setting for retreats, wellness centers, and outdoor adventure experiences.
Approved Expansion Project: Plans for an 18-hole golf course, including a clubhouse, dining options, and leisure facilities, present a premium development opportunity for visionary investors.
