Overbeck's

The house was built in 1913 for Captain George Vereker, a younger son of the 5th Viscount Gort. After Captain Vereker’s death, his widow sold the house to Otto Overbeck, a research chemist and avid collector who lived here until his death in 1937. It is a comfortable villa, with 2 projecting wings containing wide bay windows and linked by a conservatory. Inside there is a fine mahogany staircase and oak panelling. The 6-acre garden overlooks the sea and contains palms, olives, mimosa, pines, cypresses and a splendid Magnolia campbellii, planted when the gardens were laid out around an earlier house at the turn of the century.
