| Private Pontoon & Usable covered area 2,900 sq. ft. -- The marina is at the heart of the big, gated development. An assortment of property, including split-level houses and apartments, clusters around it. Built on eight hectares of reclaimed land (1978-1982), each house was originally a carbon-copy of its neighbours, but over the years many have been renovated and modified so that they have their own identity, with all sorts of cladding, door and window styles. Adding to the resort-like atmosphere are the residents’ cyclos. These are canopied bicycles built for four, used for nipping around the development and down to the on-site shopping centre. There is a Wellcome supermarket, 7-Eleven and plenty of property and boat agents. And, of course, there’s the marina itself. It has an island and finger berths, fuel station and other nautical niceties. The pontoons are mini ecosystems. There are plenty of fish lurking in their shadows, including some fairly sizeable grey mullet and, word has it, baby barracuda. Some houses come with moorings at the end of the garden: the perfect solution for yachties. The development is split into 10 blocks – A to K (there’s no I block) – with varying views. They include hillside, marina and lucky K block where some houses have unobstructed panoramas of Hebe Haven. The largest, most prestigious houses (block H) are on their own man-made island in the centre of the development, with their own pool. | ||||||||||
