The antique 'joglo' is the centerpiece of this magnificent property.  The Joglo was originally located in Demak, Central Java, an area famous for its skilled artisans who spent their days intricately carving fine timber houses.  Destined to be demolished, the owners rescued it and waited until the perfect site was available to rebuild.  Finely carved, the Joglo features finely carved pillars fluted with delicate floral patters and symmetrical intricate layers of mandala style artwork in the ceiling. Transporting each piece to Bali, the JOglo was transfromed as the social centrepiece of what has become one of the most unique properties on the island, steeped in time honored tradition. An important feature in the design of VILLA DES INDES was the effect of being surrounded by water.  This nobleman's former residence appears to float on water with a twenty-one meter lagoon swimming pool surrounding the centerpiece JOglo.  Upon entering the property you are surrounded by an Asian fishpond with floating water lilies and teaming with koi fish, an amusing site to watch at feeding time! With traditionally carved antique stone dragon head water spouts blanketed in moss, the constant sound of gentle running water adds to the natural ambience of the residence. Tropical palms and fragrant frangipanis are so very relaxing instead.  Statues hide amongst the foliage and orchids hang from shady trees.  The garden has a calm and peaceful tranquility, truly a botanical paradise. With passion for preserving and sharing the rich culture tapestry of Indonesia, the owners have an extensive collection of Balinese and Javanese antiques.  One of the most delightful things about residing in VILLA DES INDES is that there is always something fascinating to look at.     Back to previous page
