LIFE ATOP THE HILL
TRANQUIL AND YET SOPHISTICATED, EASEFUL LIVING TAKES ON SPECTACULAR NEW DIMENSIONS AT IL PICCO, DISCOVERY BAY
Having the space and privacy of your own detached residence is a luxury enjoyed by only the fortunate few in Hong Kong. However, at the magnificent new IL PICCO development, which is perched high above the self-contained community of Discovery Bay on Lantau Island, it’s a reality that, even more unusually, comes with beautiful views of coast and mountains, as well as unspoiled natural greenery and a reservoir nearby.1 IL PICCO comprises 21 two-storey detached houses with saleable areas of 2,023 or 2,171 square feet2, each with a private garden and roof – and some boasting their own swimming pool3. All feature an 8.2-metre-wide living and dining room on the ground floor4; the properties have either three or four ensuite bedrooms4, with some coming with a family room3. Every house has an open pantry and a kitchen that’s equipped with appliances by renowned brands such as Sub-Zero and De Dietrich5. Bathrooms are equally luxurious, with fittings by Duravit, Hansgrohe and AXOR5. Not only are the countryside and a placid reservoir close by, but the 27 holes of three world-class courses at Discovery Bay Golf Club6 are also just minutes away from IL PICCO. Residents can travel around Discovery Bay in style aboard their dedicated golf cart7 and enjoy the community’s relaxed yet vibrant international ambience, as well as amenities that range from international and local schools, and two well-equipped clubhouses for residents, to superb restaurants and shopping.8 Despite its peaceful and tranquil location, Discovery Bay is connected to Central Hong Kong by ferries8. Hong Kong International Airport8 and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge8 are also both easily accessible, making Lantau a Double Gateway9 to the Greater Bay Area, and the One-Hour Intercity Trac Circle of the Pearl River Delta9. Secluded and yet sophisticated, calm and yet connected, luxury living IL PICCO-style strikes the perfect balance – and all with a degree of privacy and elegance that selective Hong Kong homes can match.
