Casa Limones is one of the most unique Residential offerings Vieques has ever seen. Architecturally designed by world class architect Stanley Hutchinson and on Ten Cuerdas and priced to sell this is truly a property to covet! Located in the very exclusive La llave sector of Puerto Real with only three other acreage estates this a dream come true. If privacy is a desired requirement then look no further than Casa Limones, the second to the last estate on a dead end road.
The dream of Casa Limones began in the mid 1980's as the owners contemplated and experienced various sitings for the house to experience the ideal sunset. Later they began designing with Stanley Hutchinson and construction began in 1988. The house is surrounded by acres of undisturbed Caribbean hills and giant boulders unseen in other areas of Vieques. The property is completely surrounded by water views in every direction with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and the island of Puerto Rico and El Yunque, the only tropical rain forest on American soil, to the North. To the South the Caribbean Sea with Sun Bay and East towards the Bioluminescent bays and beyond. Additionally, there are unobstructed views of Mt. Pirata.
The house is divided into vaulted pavilions with the main pavilion being the setting for the entry to a vaulted living room, dining room, and kitchen. The main pavilion also includes a guest room with views of the Atlantic, the Caribbean and Sun Bay. All of the living areas sweep through eight foot large sliding glass doors seamlessly to the ultimate living areas out of doors. The outside terraces are covered and uncovered and all are focused on the rolling hills, boulders and water beyond forever waiting for the next sunset. As part of the architectural design there are very functional six foot gravity defying overhangs that create shade naturally and beautifully for the many terraces.
The master bedroom pavilion is accessed across a covered breezeway and is the perfectly private place for the owners to get away. The large bedroom comfortably affords a King bed with water views, a master bathroom and closets.
The guest pavilion is the perfect place for friends to get away in privacy with a full kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms with views of the water and swimming pool all under the very high vaulted ceilings.
The 16' X 32' and eight foot deep swimming pool is comfortably joined to the outside terraces and is a perfect length for swimming laps or simply lounging and soaking up the Vieques sunshine and unique water views. The surrounding tropical gardens add to the fantasy and will delight the senses.
The landscape has been thoughtfully planned and maintained with tropical gardens surrounding the house while the majority of the acreage is kept as pasture and raw jungle. Some of the plantings include a pool side arbor with purple Petrea vine, Ixoras in every color, yellow Mandevilla climbing the fences, Limones trees that are producing the very favorite and flavorful lemmon/limes, Oleanders, McArthur Palms, Coco palms, Areca palms, bromeliads, Plumbago, Bougainvillea in a confetti of colors, fragrant gardenias, hibiscus of varying colors, Sea Grapes and a beautiful sloping lawn.
This property is meticulously maintained with new appliances in the main house, all new doors and windows, hurricane panels, proper pool room, and a pressure tank and pump for evenly distributing water from the cistern. The cistern is 48,000 gallons collecting rain water and the property has had no need to use the city water for the past three years although it is available when needed. The roof is professionally maintained by Caribbean Roof Sealing with appropriate guarantees. There is a garage for car or extra storage and a personal Safe Room for the owners.
There is a good rental history with several repeat guests returning for multiple weeks each season for the past several years.
Casa Limones is a property that was lovingly created and only comes to be offered once in a lifetime and can be acquired by a most fortuitous person.
