The Seed’s 2.5-acre estate was designed, built and planted by a family; a labour of love to create a unique space to pursue a conscious, sustainable lifestyle. Across a pioneering four-bedroom main villa and two charming cottages, The Seed’s unique, energy-efficient properties unite luxury with sustainability; contemporary architecture with traditional craftsmanship; local materials with world-leading sustainable systems; and indoor and outdoor living. The centerpiece of The Seed, our architecturally unique, extravagant four-bedroom villa was designed to rejoice in its remarkable location and seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor living. The energy-efficient house enjoys light, space, a strong connection with nature and abundant entertaining opportunities. With sweeping ceilings, hand-sourced tropical hardwoods and full-length retractable windows that open onto a wraparound terrace, outdoor living and dining areas and tiered gardens, it enjoys a professional kitchen, three expansive bedrooms, three bathrooms, an office or fourth bedroom, a first-floor terrace and a spectacular, 100m2 rooftop yoga shala with panoramic lake views. Surrounded by strawberries, medicinal plants and fern-filled shade gardens is beautiful two-bedroom casa, Violeta Cottage. A vast patio and outdoor lounge leads to a cosy living area with wood-burning fire and a full Palo-Blanco-finished kitchen. Here guests will find a bright dining area and idyllic bamboo bathroom, alive with growing plants, and a unique, antique outdoor bathtub. Upstairs, two double bedrooms are filled with light and peaceful tropical garden views. Constructed entirely from sustainable bamboo, one-bedroom Mimosa Casita enjoys independent access from the road and enchanting private gardens bursting with hibiscus. A shaded patio with porch and swing leads into an indoor-outdoor kitchen, and a cosy indoor living and dining room finished with quaint local furnishings. A paradisiacal indoor-outdoor bathroom features living plants, tropical hardwood and a discrete compost toilet.
