Commanding a strategic position atop one of the highest points of Tryall, Following Seas is a gracious, visually arresting house that combines the attributes of a much-cherished family home with the world-class facilities of a boutique hotel and the aura of old Hollywood glamour.

Surrounded by seven acres of meticulously landscaped gardens, this is a house that is true to its name for as you stroll from drawing room to veranda, from flower-filled gardens to pool or from bed to patio; the view follows the line of the glistening sea below.

Stylistically, Following Seas has brought together the blues of the sea, the sky, and the greens of the lawns and surrounding trees, bringing them inside to create an interior that is both exhilarating yet also tranquil.

An expansive covered terrace with a dining area overlooks the sparkling infinity pool as well as the ocean, with a separate private Jacuzzi spa and terrace further along. With a deck that overlooks the magnificent bay and is perfectly placed to observe the setting sun is a large media cottage complete with an 80-inch flat-screen television and bar area. A perfect square with the original fretwork tray ceiling, the drawing room is one of the loveliest at Tryall and a perfect place to escape with a book built around natural rock and surrounded by gardens is the dining gazebo where up to thirty-five guests may dine in comfort. Beyond the dining gazebo is a large, furnished cantilevered deck overlooking the forested eastern valley. This is a phenomenal view and not only totally absorbing but quite simply spellbinding.

The latest technology includes satellite radio, an intercom system, high-speed wireless internet in every room, and a Netspeak phone line that provides free calls to America, Canada, and most of Europe.

In the main house, there are four bedrooms. They comprise a primary suite with a hand-carved king bed and two private his and her bathrooms, an outdoor shower, and a dressing area; a bedroom with a king bed, one with two full-size beds, and a fourth with two twin beds that can be converted to a king. Each bedroom has a private double bathroom expertly fitted with marble and granite custom-built cabinetry and crystal cupboard and draw handles that mirror the colour of the bedroom walls.

Off the main house is a hideaway guest cottage which offers two bedrooms separated by a sitting room. The primary bedroom, with what is arguably the finest bedroom view at Tryall, has a hand-carved four-poster bed, covered veranda, and private sun terrace as well as an outdoor shower under a majestic 90-foot palm tree. The second bedroom has two full beds as well as, splendid views and both bedrooms enjoy a private plunge pool and kitchen with a breakfast area.
