Castle
St John is a private hideaway on a windswept mountaintop within
|
Two very separate bedrooms, king and full, each with adjoining full baths. Besides the fully-equipped, modern kitchen and mahogany great room, there is a tiled outdoor shower, expansive decks and balconies, an observatory sundeck with giant chess on the fifth level, and a whirlpool spa nestled in a tropical garden. There is a gas outdoor grill, CD and cassette stereos, cable TV, DVD and VCR, beach towels and chairs, as well as native drums, a hammock and a telescope. Ceilings, furniture, and cabinetry are custom made of cyprus and mahoganies with a feeling of casual elegance. Artistic refinement... lovingly created over eight years by the designers, the structure itself is art, as well as a vehicle for art... relics in the walls... fine mosaics... a sculptured Japanese Zen garden. This unusual decor is accented by local paintings, masks, crafts, and statuary.
