Built in 2007/8, this large two-bedroom, two-bathroom home is located in an easily accessible but quiet and pastoral part of the island. Midway between Laborie and Choiseul on the south-west coast, near the communities of River Doree and La Fargue, the property is set back from the main road, along a cul de sac that accommodates just two or three other houses.
Free from traffic, the only thing that pervades this house is the welcome tropical breeze that always funnels through from the nearby river valley, a few hundred meters away. Kept naturally cool year-round, the house was designed to capture the breezes, with a long, wide (6-foot deep) balcony all along the windward side of the house. On the other side of the house is a concrete patio, that runs out into the garden. The owner has planted a good variety of fruit-bearing trees, including mangoes, custard apple, cashews, cherries, citrus, and a fairly rare species: the canistel.
The house encompasses 1,622 sq ft of floor area and sits on 10,564 sq ft of land (one-quarter acre). The lay-out of the house is simple and effective. You enter the living area via the balcony, which gives way to a large living room, with open-plan dining and kitchen areas. The breeze funnels straight through the house and together with the high ceilings, helps to keep the house cool. A central hallway runs off to one side of the main living area, opening out to a huge master bedroom with ensuite bathroom on one side, and a second large bedroom with separate bathroom on the other side. A door at the end of the hallway leads back to the garden, ensuring that the house could very easily be extended to 3 bedrooms. The roof is galvanized metal, in good condition. The house is tiled throughout and most of the paint work was recently redone. The house sits all on one level. The land slopes slightly, so that the house is level with the garden on the south-side, while the north side of the house providess space for a one-car garage and storage space.
