The property itself is large enough and the flat tracts of land under the pool provide the potential to be able to build more rooms and therefore offset the main costs occurring from the public are-as. Additionally, the land lying adjacent to the property on the opposite side of the road leading to the property can be bought as well as the 4-bedroom villa at the bottom of the property This could be used either as staff quarters for management and/or offices or as additional rooms or as a villa. The potential to develop and expand on what has already been established to date is immense.
