A modern, self-sufficient, lock-up-and-go home, and an entertainer’s dream. This property is also low-maintenance and has luscious tropical gardens that surround the pool. But apart from these features, it is off the grid, ensuring that the family can live life to the fullest knowing that they are not harming the environment.

“We wanted to make use of the sun as free energy, so we invested in a combined solar hot-water system, which gives us water-based underfloor heating for the winter months and pool heating for the summer months,” says the owner.
