This home, a fusion of Southwestern and Mediterranean architecture with beautifully flowering landscaping surrounding it and a pool to match the Pacific Ocean, gives the impression of a totally private tropical resort.

The first highlight as you approach is a broad covered porch where you are protected from any weather while you watch the natural world at play and the ocean changing colors to reflect the skies. It’s a tranquil, beautiful setting for quiet romantic drinks or dinners with guests.

Inside, the graceful arches and beautifully timbered ceilings welcome you to the kitchen/dining/living area that is surrounded by windows letting in the breezes and light. Designed to be spacious and welcoming, the kitchen has all quality appliances and space for food preparation. Dining can be either inside or out depending on your mood and the weather. There is plenty of room for guests to spread out in the living room.

The fully furnished master suite has its own walk in closet, a beautifully finished en suite bathroom and easily enough room for a king sized bed and a comfortable place to sit and read. Lots of windows remind you that you are in a tropical garden, and the air conditioning serves both to provide a dry storage for humidity sensitive belongings and a cooler night’s sleep if you so desire.

A furnished guest bedroom shares a bathroom with the living area and window views. Off the living room there is a flex room. Currently open to the living room and configured for overflow guest beds, it could also be an office, media room, or studio. With the addition of one lightweight wall, it would have full privacy.

A utility room completes the first floor, equipped with washer and dryer and shelves.

The second floor is “to be decided.” The roof of the first floor is flat concrete with the idea that a new owner could easily add a full second floor. It could be a completely independent apartment, multipurpose room, B & B, or something else of your choosing. The breezes and views from up there ensure that whatever you choose to do with it, it will be an outstanding addition to the home.

There is another building site on the property with a separate approach. The ocean view from ground level is slight, but a raised guest cabin would have separation, privacy and a view of jungle and ocean.

This property is at the end of the road with a gated extended driveway. It feels like a completely isolated space in the middle of the jungle on the side of a mountain, but it’s just a minute away from the nearest neighbors and just a few more from the coastal highway. It’s a great combination for someone wanting the peaceful atmosphere of isolation without actually being isolated.
