'Gunong Senang' which translates to "Hill of Contentment", has lived up to its name. Our owner in purchasing the 113.6 acre property in 1998, had a vision to design a home which would both blend into the natural landscape, keep in harmony with the local wildlife, and become a private sanctuary showcasing spectacular outlooks.
