Established plantings frame a level lawn, while flourishing raised vegetable beds benefit from a timed irrigation system. The front and back gardens are also fully irrigated, making maintenance simple.

Passively designed with additional insulation, the structure features a thermal break around the wine room to maintain an ideal 1317C environment.
