Inside the main house, you will find two spacious and comfortable bedrooms arranged in a railroad-style layout, with a shared Jack and Jill bathroom located in the middle. Each bedroom sits on either side of the bathroom and has direct access to it, creating a practical and connected design. The interior walls do not reach the ceiling, leaving open space above them. This architectural detail allows natural light from skylights to flow through the entire area, bringing brightness and an airy feeling to the bedrooms and bathroom. There is also an additional guest bedroom with its own private bathroom. The open living room and outdoor dining area are ideal for entertaining while enjoying beautiful views of the Malacatos Valley and Mandango Mountain. The kitchen features elegant countertops and abundant natural light thanks to large windows and skylights. The separate one-bedroom guest house includes a covered outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and dining area, allowing guests to prepare their own meals or host friends. This space can also be rented to generate additional income. Enjoy a self-sustaining lifestyle with fertile land, a greenhouse, and a variety of fruit trees, including mangoes, avocados, bananas, oranges, mandarins, lemons, and soursop. A rustic-style chicken coop was recently built using natural materials, blending beautifully with the landscape while providing a comfortable and functional space for chickens. The house is approximately 15 years old, and the property is accessed by a dirt road, maintaining the peaceful rural character of the area.
