The Residence

Lantern Hill

Built in 1998 by a shipping family, held quietly since.

Mediterranean estate with citrus groves and harbor views above the old town

Five acres of terraced gardens and a working citrus grove wrap a hand-plastered villa with a red tile roof and deep loggias. The principal rooms open to a stone terrace that looks over the harbor lights. A two-bedroom guest house sits beside the pool, and the motor court holds six cars under a pergola of old wisteria.
