A piece of paradise...

....just an hour away from Central.

Top floor beachfront home with 25 feet high ceilings, 3 bedrooms with 1240 feet of NET usable area, central air-conditioning and designer fixtures.

All for sale at a mere 1.78 Million HK Dollars.

Unbelieveable? Tempting?

Very. Extremely.

But there's always a catch, isn't it?

Access by ferry only. Only an hour away from Central, back to your own private development with twenty low-rise, three-storey apartments. No shops, no groceries, no nothing, except mother nature right at your door step.

Nearest shopping and/or dining? Fifteen minutes away by ferry in Cheung Chau.

Electricity, phone, broadband internet and gas are all functional, so no worries there. But here comes the good part: you'll be using your own water supply that's part of the development's original infrastructure. Nice, cool, unpolluted water fresh from the source. Hmmm... now THAT sounds intruiging.

So, where's this place located?

Somewhere on Lantau island, with no car access.

I've been there once, when they first opened up some thirty years ago as some up-class island resort. It was really impressive, even to a kid like me, as I still remembered images of the place. Infinity pool by the beach, with impeccable service in a first class club house. Defnitely one of the up beat resorts of their times. But today, their resort / clubhouse has been closed for some years, and all that's left are the residences. Pristine holiday homes for some, and nice, quiet home away from the city for others.

Truly tempting but maybe a bit impractical for us. An hour's ferry is not much but having nothing around is an idea that needs a bit of getting used to.

Or is it?

Hmmm....

A piece of paradise within Hong Kong!
