The focal point of this outdoor retreat is the 35’ x 70’ Gunite pool with a full array of premium quality features. It begins with the two 12’ x 28’ tanning shelves which accommodate spacious adult tanning on one side and a large children’s play area on the other. Each side includes four bubblers...

The pool’s “U”-shaped entry steps adjoin the underwater path below the tanning shelves leading to the shallow end on the right. The pool slopes down in the middle towards the deep end on the left. Each tanning shelf has a gently sloping beach entry at the outside corner to assist people with...

After dark the water feature in the alcove also doubles as a fire feature, with the square glass columns sheltering the flames from evening breezes. Just peaking above the coping, one of the two lighted bubblers casts an emerald glow thanks to the colour changing lighting system.

The second water feature, a large circular fountain gracing the entrance of the home, looks especially dramatic when its black Pebble Tec interior reflects the magenta shade of the colour range.
