The Ponderosa Floorplan







The house is set in an area of rolling hills and to take advantage of the terrain, the house is split level.

The main part of house is essentially one floor, with a step up or down here and there.


As you enter the house you come into the foyer. Immediately to your left is the powder room, next to it a staircase going down to the garage, and next to it the staircase that leads up to the guest quarters.


When you turn right from the main door, you come to Noel’s master bedroom, then the study/library and at the end Hans’ master bedroom. The two bedrooms are linked by a shared master bathroom.


If you go straight from the front door, you pass through the foyer and then enter the living room with cathedral ceiling and, through that, you come into the dining room overlooking a pineapple farm. To the right of the dining room is the gourmet kitchen with stairs leading down to the dirty kitchen and maids’ quarters which are located partly under the gourmet kitchen and dining room. Also downstairs are a storage room and electrical room that one day may house a generator.


The living room has three French doors on each side – one side opening up to an oversized patio good for outdoor seating even if it rains; the other side also has a patio but not as wide; the patio overlooks a "fishless" pond and waterfall. The kitchen and side patio overlook the swimming pool and garden.

Up the stairs, you go to the guest quarters – two spacious bedrooms with a multi-purpose room in between. One bedroom has a terrace facing the street and the other a terrace with a view of the pineapple farm. There is a shared bathroom.


Below the guest quarters is the garage, laundry room and driver’s quarters.
