1. Hong Kong, China
Little Palm Peninsula, Clearwater Bay (HK$280 million)
This property is on the market for the first time in 30 years. In addition to the main four-bedroom house, it also features a two-bedroom guest house. As both houses are older properties, built in 1979 and 1982 respectively, they are more spacious than most homes built later. The entire land area is 10,078sqft.
Helping to emphasise a sense of spaciousness in the principal reception room of the main house are double-height ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in light and connect the room with the bay outside. A smaller galleried reception space upstairs overlooks the main reception room. Some of the other rooms, including the bedrooms, have floor-to-ceiling glazing.
Wow factor: In work-hard-play-hard Hong Kong, this home offers its occupants an opportunity to get away from it all. Overlooking Clearwater Bay and with its own garden and infinity pool, the house provides a relaxing environment in a rustic setting on the headland. Occupants can watch the sun go down from the terrace while enjoying late afternoon tea or early evening cocktails.
