One villa above the shore. Held by one family at a time.
Chapter I — 06:12
The sea wakes first.
Light finds the water before it finds the land, and the villa waits for both. Coffee on the east terrace. The tide, and nothing else. Mornings here are not scheduled. They are permitted.
The facts
2.4acres, held behind one gate.
18,500square feet, under one roof.
5suites. None share a wall.
80metres of private shorefront.
One owner. That is the entire brochure.
Chapter II — 12:40
Noon is for the water.
The pool runs the length of the western terrace and holds the sky in it all day. Lunch comes to you. Shade here is architecture, not accessory — the roof was drawn nine feet deep for exactly this hour.
Chapter III — 17:50
The hour the house was designed around.
The sun drops toward the water and every room turns west. Stone goes amber. The pool goes to fire. Whatever you were doing can wait, and does.
Light on the pool, an hour before dusk.
Evenings here do not fall. They settle — first on the water, then on the stone, then on you.
Chapter IV — 19:04
The lamps come on by themselves.
Deep blue outside, warm brass inside. The house glows like something kept, because it is. This is what you are buying. Not square footage — this exact hour, every day, alone.
The invitation
Shown privately, at golden hour.
Elara is walked with a handful of families each season, always at 17:30, when the house is at its best. Price on request.
