GROUND iNK Landscape Architects collaborated with the Clients and builders Hamik Luxury Homes, to create the external planting palette for this expansive, private and contemporary 7-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 4-garage home to put the final landscape flourishes to this boutique rural lifestyle retreat with a Balinese flair.

Along with the distinctive planting design, water was used as a dominant feature around the home in the form of the Balinese resort-style infinity-edge swimming pool. The resort style was further enhanced with accent planting, a pond in the courtyard and a pond at the front entry with its curved cascading water edge measuring 12m in length. The sound of the moving water creates an aura of tranquillity and fulfils the clients’ vision of a resort-style abode.

The home’s outdoor living spaces were designed to entice family and friends to gather, whether to relax or entertain. This home is an entertainer’s dream, with reflection ponds for ambience, a swim-up bar for summer parties, a thatchroofed gazebo for lazing by the pool, and a timber-lined sauna for unwinding.
