Timeless Balinese Oasis in the Heart of North Guiones

320 Meter Walk to the Surf in North Guiones

When the owners bought the original home in 2017 they immediately set about fulfilling their vision to create a home peace and elegance for their family. The result is a haven of beauty and calming “third spaces” featuring bespoke courtyards, terraces, fountains, generous antique Afghani and Balinese detailing, and highest quality furniture and fixtures. Sometimes a home is more than a home. For it’s owners it was their muse and inspiration, today it is a sanctuary. 

Walking beyond its unassuming roadside façade, every step into the property becomes more captivating.  A beautiful carved portico embraces a massive Pochote tree and welcomes you to the front door. You could happily hang out here in the shady garden all day, but for the intrigue of what exists behind the massive carved door- and it does not disappoint. 

Stepping inside you find yourself in a covered open-air garden courtyard flanked by two fountains. In front of you is the newer structure that houses the shared space and beating heart of the home: a modern kitchen with highest-end appliances and an open concept dining and living room ready for holidays and candlelit dinners. This space is flanked by serenity: one side is a shady open-air courtyard with a garden and fountain, the other side is the swimming pool.

The pool itself offers several levels for floating and lounging. Here you can stretch and exercise, read, or just listen to music. A broad pavilion at the far end boasts built-in gas barbeque and fridge, a bali bed for napping, and playful hanging chairs for curling up with a fun beach read.  

To the left of the entryway are three main-floor bedrooms with sumptuous king beds and three modern ensuite bathrooms. Delightful peek-a-boo Balinese window frames and a second inner courtyard with a pretty fountain and a separate entrance add flow and enchantment to these living areas. The level of detail in the design, craftsmanship, and charm brings a next-level grace to the residence that’s hard to capture in words or with photos.  

The principal bedroom occupies the entire top floor. It serves as its own discrete hideaway complete with a cozy antechamber with its own kitchen and living room. The interior gives onto a broad west-facing terrace overlooking the pool, sunset skies, and ocean breezes. What a wonderful place to ease into the day with quiet coffees and morning stretches! And equally wonderful to retreat above the family fray in the evening with a nightcap and a novel. 

For your guests, there is an air conditioned one-bedroom ensuite apartment over the two-car garage. They are treated to a comfortable king bed and characteristically tasteful decor. An open-air dining terrace and lounge are perched above the street and offer total privacy as well as eye-level monkey-watching in the shade trees nearby.  The space could easily be used as a high-end rental for passive income- it has its own separate electrical meter, wifi, and septic system. 

Inclusions: 100% turnkey! The purchase includes all the hand-picked imported furniture, cabinetry and built-ins made from hand-chosen antique carved headboards from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bali and Tibet as well as all top-of-the-line appliances. Most of the toys in the garage are yours to keep too, including a Prado, 2 Hobe foot-pump sea kayaks, two Honda 500 quads, a golfcart, and surfboards. 

Utilities are thoughtfully designed: All water goes through a carbon sediment and UV filter. Internet runs on Kolbi with Starlink backup.
