The stunning interior welcomes in the greenery through floor-to-ceiling windows, while a central fern garden brings an organic presence to the heart of the home. The bedrooms expand into a covered outdoor living space, and beneath the upper platform is a subterranean pool with an opening that frames in views of the rolling treetops.
