The grounds extend over an impressive 17,000 square meters, enclosed mostly by walls for added privacy, enhancing the sense of peace. Orchards of fruit, almond, and carob trees pepper the land, while horse lovers will delight in the available stables and flat land ideal for their majestic creations.
