A garden that walks to the sea.
Four acres of coconut palm, cashew and bougainvillea, with two private paths down to the Candolim shore.
The garden
Four acres in the grove.
Coconut palm, cashew and bougainvillea, kept by the gardeners who have tended it for years, with hammocks slung where the shade falls.
The pools
Three pools, the long one under the palms.
Three pools in the garden to swim or sit by, the long one set under the palms, loungers on the timber deck.
The sea
The sea deck and both paths to the beach.
A deck at the garden’s edge for the sunset, and two private paths through the palms down to the sand at Candolim.
How it is kept
A kitchen garden, and rainwater.
The kitchen cooks from the garden, and the estate keeps its own water — four acres run the way a Goan garden should be. [CONFIRM details]
“You swim in a diamond blue pool being dive-bombed by dragonflies; a mongoose washes his whiskers; butterflies skim the water to drink.”
