Chapter 825: The Scenery Is Unique Here [Second Update]
"Good afternoon, Mr. Foster, is this the villa we are talking about? God, the view from here is awesome. ”
Su Jing held Wang Hao's hand, although it was Sydney's motive at the moment, there were still some young people surfing and screaming on the beach not far away, and there were bikini beauties playing beach volleyball excitedly, and people playing motorboats were shouting.
Unlike Bondi Beach, there are not many tourists on this whale beach, and Sydney's winter is a rainy season, with heavy rain and light rain and sunny days, with a typical marine climate.
At this time, it happened to be a sunny day, the sun was not so dazzling, standing on the side of the gate of this villa, it seemed that you could feel the breath of the waves blowing in your face, and the air here seemed to have a comfortable, leisurely and casual.
Hugo Foster is an ordinary real estate agent in Sydney, he received this voice only because a friend of Su Jing introduced him, when he knew that this was to choose a villa for the legendary golden rancher, he immediately took out the company's high-end housing information and carefully selected, and tried to hand over the best house to Wang Hao.
"We're right next to the garage, which can accommodate four cars, and if it's going to be expanded, there's a yard over there. Now, let's introduce the nearby facilities as we walk. ”
Hugo explained: "This is called the Whale-Beach, where the elite live, close to the southern part of the famous Palm Beach, separated by a kilometre-wide headland. The result is a relaxed, short, Bayshore Walk that traverses Palm Beach's four protected areas: Holden Park, Witshire Park, Mackay Reserve and Dark Valley Park, and offers rare native flora and fauna. ”
Standing in the backyard of the villa, Wang Hao directly saw the beach not far away. His astonishing eyesight even allowed him to see small crabs crawling slowly in a corner of the beach.
The whole beach presents an arc-shaped bay area, the sand is deep and open, and the sand is golden in color, which has a primitive and rough feeling. Since the beach is directly affected by the waves of the South Pacific, there is also a large saltwater rock pool at the southern end of the beach for swimming and splashing.
"Is it a whale over there? That little black dot in the distance! ”
Su Jing suddenly spoke, she pointed to the line where the sea and the sky met not far away, and said excitedly. What villas and the like are all left behind, and nothing is as exciting as seeing whales.
Wang Hao followed her finger and found that there were really groups of whales swimming on the surface of the sea. Occasionally, a whale leaps up from the surface and slams into the waves.
Hugo Foster said with a smile: "This place is called Whale Beach because in winter, there are always groups of orcas, humpback whales and dolphins migrating in front of the sea. It's a veritable Whale-Beach! ”
That's true. If you can see these behemoths every winter, it will be a scenic spot, and Wang Hao is very satisfied with it.
"Just now you have also driven here, you can go directly to the city of Sydney through the barrenjoey-RD road, you can take the L90 bus from the CBD of Sydney, it only takes 20 minutes to take the subway to the city, and the traffic is very far from and smooth. There is also a shopping pedestrian street, Eastwood Mall and quite a few Asian shopping malls nearby. A variety of fruit and vegetable supermarkets with an elegant and comfortable living environment. ”
Of course. Hugo Foster also understands the concerns of these Asian parents, that is, children's learning and education, there are many high-quality primary schools and centers in the Whale Beach area, public primary schools are ranked in the top 30 among thousands of primary schools in Australia, and public secondary schools are ranked in the top 15 among more than 2,600 in Australia, with a complete education system.
As he walked all the way forward, Wang Hao found that this could be described as a unique cave.
Because the backyard of the villa faces the sea directly, all the focal points in the front yard are echoed by water features, which are especially important in this garden design. The most important water feature is to create a flowing water curtain wall on the right hand side of the entrance to the front courtyard, which presents the appearance of a network of diversion, naturally forming a gentle waterfall, extending to the entrance and the entire courtyard through the high water curtain wall, and integrating with the whole building.
The designer cleverly designed a path connection with simple stepping stones, covering a shallow pond accumulated by the waterfall curtain wall, and pebbles dotted in the pool, making the interaction between the scenery of the yard stronger.
The stepping stone stretches out the entire courtyard like duckweed, and a set of LED lights are designed around it, and when night falls, the water curtain and pond will flicker under the light under the stepping stone, which will inevitably bring an intoxicating night.
Imagine sitting in a corner admiring the beautiful plants and babbling waterfalls, while listening to the melodious chirping of birds in the trees, and the comfort will definitely make you meditate unconsciously, like getting lost in a "paradise".
Because seaside villas are susceptible to sea breezes, tall and windproof plants are placed around the buildings. At the same time, the shapes and colors of the plants around the courtyard wall are lively and cheerful, and the most brilliant group of pruned shrubs and plants like mushroom clouds in the courtyard design are very visually effective against the background of the water feature and waterfall.
The terrace and swimming pool on the second floor of the villa are a natural extension of the beachfront villa, and the swimming pool is also designed with a circulating water flow to resemble a series of springs.
Wang Hao noticed that there is also a set of outdoor lounge chairs and dining tables placed by the pool, and it should be a wonderful feeling to dine in such a breeze of sea and sky!
The design is very different from the landscape of the front yard, with a strong contrast, and has a wide visual view, overlooking the natural landscape by the sea.
From the deck of the pool terrace, you can walk up the stairs to the garden at the back, where there is a large lawn that almost extends to the beach, and a wooden hut with a view of the sea, a change of clothes after surfing, and a group of dragon's blood trees planted in the corner, which looks like a landscape painting from a distance. The lounge is connected to the outdoor barbecue area, and in the bushes on the right, there are two wooden lounge chairs, which are very private and unique.
The back garden is a low fence formed by the branches of a melaleuca shrub, and a group of tea trees is planted to naturally separate the garden from the lawn, allowing the surrounding meadows and sandy beaches to be naturally softened, inadvertently using the local plant characteristics to resist the strong sea breeze and salt erosion that may be subjected to.
Wang Hao and Su Jing were both very satisfied, not only did they have a wine cellar, but also a Butler kitchen and a standard tennis court.
Standing next to the small garden, Wang Hao can see the outline of the whale beach in the distance, and the neighbors' houses are looming and obscured by tall trees in the line of sight, which is very protective of privacy.
There are villas in the Golden Ranch and the Golden Winery, but they are nothing compared to this beachfront villa.
The villa occupies a very large area, and Wang Hao thinks that it takes ten minutes to walk to the kitchen just after swimming or basking in the sun from the beach.
Not only is the decoration inside great, but even all kinds of household appliances are complete, although I don't know why its owner would choose to sell such an excellent villa, but Wang Hao is really moved.
After looking at this villa, the rest of the houses have been turned into generals. If your parents are willing to spend a few days in Sydney, it will be nice to live here, and you can invite your friends to party here or something, and you don't have to worry about the room not being big enough.
Su Jing looked at Hugo on the side and asked in a low voice, "How big is the area of this villa?" ”
Hugo, who has been quietly by Wang Hao's side and his wife, did not praise anything too much, but silently showed the advantages of this house in front of them, no matter how good he said, it was not as good as what he saw with his own eyes.
Upon hearing the inquiry, Hugo immediately replied: "This place covers an area of 895 square meters, and our boundary is the tea grove, and the beach outside is owned by the national government." ”
"If I were to buy it now, how much would it cost?" Wang Hao asked directly, he didn't want to waste time asking slowly.
Hugo's eyes lit up and he immediately gave his price: "The house is now sold for $8.8 million, excluding any form of tax and corresponding handling fees. ”
Buying a house in Australia is not just about taking the house, various tax rates will be a headache, and the maintenance and cleaning costs required for such a large villa are naturally not a few, and the designer is also needed to supplement the required functions and renovate and take care of it.
"What do you think, if you like it, we can talk about the rest of the story." Wang Hao asked his wife in a low voice, it is not up to him to buy a house, he has to be liked by others.
Su Jing touched her chin, she nodded and said: "The house is very big and beautiful, the surrounding environment and scenery are good, the transportation is convenient, and the educational facilities are complete, I think this price is very cost-effective, if you think it is a little expensive, you can find someone to bargain with them." ”
Wang Hao shook his head, how much can you negotiate the price? And it was both troublesome and unflattering, and he had to pay a mercenary, and said directly to Hugo: "If I pay in cash in a lump sum, is there any discount?" ”
Hugo was taken aback by Wang Hao's boldness, and he was worthy of being on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, and he was willing to buy it so directly.
"Sir, if you pay it all at once, we'll have a little bit of a small discount, 97% off is the last limit I can give, and the final price is $8.53 million. At the same time, we will give a one-year garden plant maintenance fee. ”
Wang Hao didn't have much feeling about this price, if the druid still needed a gardener to take care of the plants, then he should really be ashamed to commit suicide. If you include those tax rates, it's estimated to be around $9 million.
The money is not a problem at all, and he can sign an agreement with the sales company after he goes to the transfer lawyer to confirm. (To be continued.) )
