Villa pour 10 personnes.
Mahatma House is located beachfront in the traditional, seaside and exclusive fishermen village of Seseh on Bali’s southwest coast. The
village, surrounded by a government protected rice field’s green belt is
becoming the preferred destination for high end customers, who prefer
to: live immersed in the untouched traditional Balinese culture; enjoy
almost private and unspoiled beaches; ride the waves in Seseh surfing
spots; taste fresh fish provided directly from the fishermen; assist to
real Balinese ceremonies in the local temples and relax in a tranquil
atmosphere, without renouncing to the luxury of some of the most stylish
and luxurious villas in Bali and the proximity of the cosmopolitan
glamour of Seminyak. Seseh retains the customs and culture of old Bali.
Cows are herded through the fields, rice is planted and harvested
throughout year, and the sound of ritual music is carried on the breeze.
The approach to Seseh is by way of a country lane; emerald rice fields
line the road as it meanders through an avenue of coconut palms. Mahatma
House is a two storey, five bedroom villa characterized by expansive
open air tropical living spaces, chick and zen interiors, and
spectacular sea views.
The contemporary architectural style is a
study in perfect symmetry, presenting an abundance of space and a
soaring iron wood shingle roof. The atmospheric interior design is
imbued with Asian mystique and contemporary ambience, characterized by
dark polished cement walls, charcoal-grey polished cement floors, black
custom-designed furnishings and a pair of wrought iron encased
stairwells inspired on Chinese cages.
This luxurious property is
ideal for weddings and events. There are five air-conditioned bedrooms
with en suite bathrooms in Mahatma House. The two master bedrooms are
located in the second floor with beds oriented towards the beach.
Spectacular views can be seen during sunrise and sunset. Both master
bedrooms offer audio visual facilities with: LCD TV, DVD player, IPod
speakers, internal telephone and safety boxes. There are two garden
suites, housed in a standalone single storey pavilion on the far side of
the swimming pool, and an additional corner suite on the ground floor
of the main building oriented to sunset. Each of these suites have
internal telephone and safety boxes. Four of the suites offer private
sitting areas, where the guests can relax or have their private meals.
There
are two entrances to the house. The pedestrian entrance is done through
a classical Balinese three step portico framed by an antique wooden
carved door, leading to the house entrance hall with an impressive stone
worked waterfall sided by two ponds with golden fish inside. Both sides
of the entrance hall lead to the open air living & dining area
which takes up most of the ground floor, of the main building,
incorporating a TV lounge, accessed by wide stepping stones over another
ornamental pond and furnished with a large sofa, an armchair, and a
cabinet of buddha statues with a 50” LCD TV, a DVD player and a top
quality 5:1 home cinema sound system.
The living area itself is the
central focus. Aligned with the swimming pool and overlooking the
garden, it is cooled by two large ceiling fans with woven rattan blades,
and furnished with rattan lazy chairs, circular ottomans and a
substantial daybed scattered with silk cushions. A fat, smiling buddha
sits in one corner, a pile of gongs rests in another corner, and an
antique timber wall panel adds a splash of jade green behind the daybed.
The
dining area is accessed by another set of stepping stones over a pond
and is furnished with a table for ten, complemented by two different
styles of dining chairs, arranged alternately with capacity for 12
people.
There is also a guest toilet on the ground floor.
The
fully equipped, open plan, feature kitchen is located beside the dining
area for ease of service. The funky decoration displays the green lids
of old, Indonesian ‘krupuk’ (rice cracker) jars. The kitchen contains
all of the facilities that Mahatma house chef requires for the
preparation of delicious meals, innovative buffets, and party snacks.
Mahatma House offers internal spa services, including: facials, body
treatment, various types of massage, pedicure, manicure, etc. provided
by professional therapists on request at an extra charge.
The 18 m. x
6.40 m. swimming pool is a stunning feature which completes the
symmetry of the property consisting of a four side water overflow with
external walls and pathways covered with andesite flame stone and
lightened underwater by 102 led lamps. The pool deck is furnished with
umbrellas and sun loungers made from sunbrella and all-weather rattan.
The large garden with its flat lawn is ideal for weddings, parties and
celebrations. A central chill out area at the end of the swimming pool
is opened to the sky; it presides over the pool and offers an additional
sitting area. Behind this is an impressive vertical rock garden with a
water cascade and in its centre there is a fire pyre which is lightened
every night to complete this magical environment.
