The Legend Villa is stylish and elegant, incorporating the essential elements of Balinese philosophy and symbolism within its tropical design. Covering 2600 square metres of land, it is comprised of two 2-storey buildings, a single story guest house, a separate kitchen and a pool pavilion, all linked by covered walkways and terraces. The central feature of the property is the 16 meter swimming pool.

There is a wide choice of areas for dining and entertaining. Balconies and verandas have been positioned to maximize the panoramic views and the cooling tropical breezes. Guests will be soothed by the rhythmic sounds of breaking ocean waves.

The villa design utilizes local materials such as Palimanan stone, marble and merbau wood and is capped with an ironwood shingle roof. There is a unique combination of contemporary furnishings mixed with traditional Indonesian antiques and artifacts. The color theme of the interiors is chocolate, pale aqua and cream. An interesting design feature is the wooden lattice grillwork of windows and railings.

The approach to Legend is through a wooden gate, along a palm-lined driveway, to a sheltered parking area. The villa is entered through a traditional Balinese gate, then across a bridge to the Living Room.

Living Room
Welcoming guests with its generous size and openness, the Living Room offers a sweeping vista of the pool, gardens and adjacent rice fields. Cooled by ceiling fans and natural ventilation, and characterized by an Indian slate floor and a soaring vaulted ceiling, the room is exquisitely furnished with cream leather sofas, chairs and bar stools. The centerpiece is an impressive iron chandelier designed by the owners. There is a polished granite party bar with fridge and sink, and a round table with chairs for intimate dining.

Entertainment Room
The air-conditioned Media Room is equipped with a 32-inch LCD flat screen TV, VCD player and surround sound system. It is entered via folding doors leading from the Dining Room. This comfortable room is furnished with two deeply-cushioned sofas, traditional batik cushions, a games table with Plexiglas chairs, and an innovative glass topped coffee table created by hand from coffee-wood branches. Sliding windows on one side overlook an ornamental pond and a window on the other side looks out at the pool. Books and artifacts fill the bookcases.

Gardens, Swimming Pool, and Relaxation Pavilion
The 16 x 3 metre, blue slate tiled swimming pool has a waterfall at one end, two infinity edges, and is anchored by a Pendopo, used as a Relaxation Pavilion. This ancient structure is the core of a 150-year old wooden Joglo house from Java. It showcases ornate hand-carvings and robust columns, and was constructed using traditional tongue and groove techniques without the use of any nails or bolts. Furnished with a rustic table, a deeply cushioned rattan sofa and chairs, this raised pavilion, with its antique terracotta tiled floor is another delightful area for dining, entertaining and relaxing. There is a granite topped bar for serving at the back of the structure. The white Palimanan stone pool terrace is shaded by sweet-scented white frangipani trees; there are 4 sunbeds and two umbrellas.

The expansive gardens are dotted with palm trees and white-flowering shrubs and trees. Open to the rice fields on one side with a view unbroken by walls or fences, the property expands its borders.

Water is a predominant element in the spiritual landscape of Bali. This is reflected throughout the property, but especially in the enchanting water garden between the bedroom pavilion and the Living/Dining pavilion. The pond features white lotus and bulrushes, and is planted with white orchids and a frangipani tree on an island. Two serene Buddha statues sit in stone caves against a backdrop of flowing water to complete this beautiful water feature.
