Jungle House<br/><br/>The jungle house sits on a verdant, emerald hill, accessed by a gravel road put in to service the cellphone towers at the hill's apex.  On a clear day, the coastline and its azure water can be spotted, and at night the faint glow of the town can be seen to the south.  But the true draw of the Jungle House is the vivid greenery that surrounds it, and the complete privacy it affords.  A vehicle gate bars the way up the drive, automatic when detecting the owner's cellphone or with a keypad entry.<br/><br/>The house itself is made of glass, steel and concrete despite the Owner's preference for natural and local works.  But the architect and engineer insisted, to better withstand the damp of the air and the weight of the hillside pressing against it.  Gwen quite enjoyed the end product, owning more to the look of a city's skyscraper than local housing.  But the place was breezy and spacious, temperature regulated through the floors and the light and views unbeatable.<br/><br/><a class="link link--external" href="https://ppbali.com/property/luxury-jungle-villa-for-sale-in-a-peaceful-area-in-ubud/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Jungle House</a><br/><br/>Gwen pulls the white Mercedes SUV into the garage, the door closing behind them.  She gathers her purse and documents bag and unlocked the mud room/laundry room door for herself and her guests. She kicks off her wedges with a grin at maddie before unlocking the door to the house proper.  She cocks her head towards keri, holding her palm out to the other woman.  This too will be another interesting test.<br/><br/>"<i>girls</i>are not allowed to wear clothes in this house."  She inclines her head towards maddie, sure the younger woman knows what do to.  There is a pause here, while the keri decides for herself what happens next.<br/><br/>"maddie, give keri a tour of the house.  I will meet you shortly in the main bedroom.  Please help keri drag the round doggie bed over from the guest bedroom."<br/><br/>With those instructions leveled, she turns to head down to the office to put the documents in the safe and make other preparations, barefooted and smiling.<br/><br/>~
