The Story Of Tamarind
Immerse yourself in the serenity of meticulously landscaped gardens by renowned landscaper Annie Wilkes and indulge in a truly luxurious escape, where every detail has been curated by acclaimed architect Iain Halliday of BKH Architects.
About The Property
The main house, named Tamarind, was constructed in the 1980s based on French Provincial influence. With its symmetrical layout, prominent high-pitched roof, and sturdy circular columns, Tamarind exudes a strong sense of solidity. The two bungalows on the estate, Tula and Toa were transformed into guesthouses, featuring minimalist design and lavish polished floors. The lush landscape features many beautiful flora species including abundant palm trees, tropical plants, tamarind, and avocado trees just to name a few.
