The home was built in 2004. The previous owner, an Australian builder, renovated it in 2008. The interiors measure just over 6,000 square feet, with terra-cotta floors and antique Balinese furniture throughout. The owners said the white walls and concrete columns in each pavilion give it a slight Dutch-colonial feel. Photo: Didi Lotze
