Casa Botanica is a creative, whimsical home inspired by, green friendly architect, John Hix and other island pioneers and is located on 3.37 acres in the ever popular barrio El Pilon. This house was designed with nature in mind and includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with privacy as the order of the day.
The constant Trade Winds that cool the property and connect indoors and outdoors are an essential element in Caribbean living and Casa Botanica captures the essence.
The main structure of Casa Botanica and the heart of the property is a two story living and indoor dining area coupled with a kitchen. Adjoining one side is a pantry area and out door dining room that includes a working pizza oven. From the indoors two story living room one can access a long porch with a cozy sitting area and another table and chairs for sipping coffee in the morning and enjoying the formal gardens. Additionally, there is a room that could serve as a small bedroom, TV room or home office. On the second floor and fully exposed to the beauty and surroundings is a bedroom with large windows capturing breezes and plenty of garden views. This structure has a full bathroom with a private open-air shower.
In a separate but connected structure the master suite includes a bedroom, bathroom, sitting room, and very convenient kitchenette. The bathroom has a very private open-air shower.
One of the many surprises in Casa Botanica is a second story observation tower and large open terrace for enjoying nature both day and night. This is the perfect place to inspect the overall property, see distant ocean views and enjoy star gazing. The current owners have enjoyed star gazing with their high powered telescope.
There is a great variety of plantings on the property with multiple types of gardens in the overall design, including fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamentals.
Another surprise includes a charming swimming pool and fountain crowning the gardens. The pool area is part of the entrance courtyard and you can float in the pool while gazing at a variety of tropical specimens.
The garage, which the owners are currently using as a den for watching TV and for overflow guests sleeping space is another bonus of the property.
Casa Botanica represents a unique opportunity as it is priced well below replacement costs. For more information please click on ourFeaturesandDetails section of the listing.
