The luxury house stands regally on a sprawling 4 acres of land, which is raised from the level of the road. The aesthetically designed landscape is a stunning feature and it highlights the incredibly charming features of the exteriors. The house is designed in a way which facilitates amazing and unique views of it from all directions. Lush green meadows, paved with Mexican grass, adorn the landscape which lies in layers.
