Long Description
Located in the heart of Escaleras, this property is close to nearby restaurants and beaches. The entrance to the property is unassuming, with a wooden gate camouflaged within tall bamboo that leads down a long driveway surrounded by jungle and a planted fruit forest. Although the home is connected to local electricity, it is primarily powered by solar electricity, greatly reducing the property's operating costs. Another key feature of this property is the private deep water well that provides fresh, clean, untouched potable water throughout the home.
The structure sits 15 feet above the ground, taking advantage of the ocean views and breezes. The living spaces are elevated to the forest canopy, so you will find yourself eye-to-eye with monkeys, toucans, and other jungle wildlife. An indoor pool is the center point of the living space that continues outside to the home's wrap-around hardwood decks. There are two ocean suites featuring private baths and comfortable lounge spaces. An upstairs loft creates a unique lounge space overlooking the living room, pool, and out towards the sea.
The home has a bohemian style, meticulously designed and handcrafted to create an incredibly authentic feel of artistry and wonder. Each feature tells a story. The tiles are imported from Indonesia. The hand-crafted decorative window shutters are made of Indonesian hardwoods and are reclaimed antiques from Java—some over 100 years old. Known for its rich beauty and durability, the majority of the wood flooring used throughout the home is Guapinol (Brazillian Cherry), imported from Brazil. A designer fireplace imported from France has been suspended poolside, which creates a warm ambiance at night. A stand-alone, antique tub located off of the master bedroom is the perfect place to enjoy the sunset ocean view.
As you tour the home in person, you will truly appreciate the combination of imported hardwoods, antiques, and attention to detail that the owner has put into creating this unique space.
Private Organic Fruit Farm on the Property
