There are three terraces around the farmhouse.

The terraces are all planted with herbs and scented flowers, lavender and climbing roses. Herbs can be used for cooking and include; rosemary, oregano, mint, sage, many thymes, parsley, marjoram, verbena and lavender.
The swimming pool is all one depth, about five feet. It is lushly landscaped. All the landscaping and planting were completed in the fall of 2000, though all the gardens are a continuing project. The pool has it's own sun area and shady terrace with a hammock for mid-day napping. The pool and pool area are lit for evening use.
The property consists of five acres of hillside land. Much of the land is planted with hardwood trees and the area beyond the swimming pool is planted with young olives and a variety of fruit trees.
