The family were initially attracted to all the arches and columns in their home but have come to love the lifestyle its outdoor spaces afford just as much. Most of the activity takes place around the pool and the various gardens and rooms that lead off it. In the magnolia garden (behind the wall), the Drunken Parrot Tree attracts birds in flowering season. “We are woken every morning by a parrot party outside!” says Kirsti.
