Los Bohios is an architecturally designed estate on over two acres just outside the village of Esperanza. The estate is created through a collection of buildings, or bohios, all blending together to artfully brandish the Caribbean lifestyle. You approach Los Bohios through ample parking, carefully screened from the living areas. Entering the property you pass under a rustic pergola flanked by limón trees offering their sweet scent of fruit and flowers. The owners carefully worked with architects, craftsmen, and landscapers to bring their creation to fruition, and this hands-on management is evident throughout. Los Bohios combines wood and concrete with natural coral stone to create a sophisticated and rustic estate.

The Main Bohio houses a gourmet kitchen, dining room, and living/media room — all leading out to a crystal clear pool and layers of blue Caribbean Sea. The kitchen has poured-concrete counters layered with concrete stain to create a verdigris patina. The tropical Embulla cabinets are open by design on top and screened in on the bottom. All appliances are stainless steel, including the Viking range. The kitchen opens into the dining area, again with a poured-concrete table, stained to create a verdigris patina. The living/media room, as well as the rest of the Main Bohio, have concrete floors stained with a warm glow. The Main Bohio blends seamlessly with the outdoors through a series of double Mahogany louvered doors that can all be opened.

To the East side of the Main Bohio is the Guest Bohio, housing two guest rooms — each with its own bathroom, outdoor showers, and double Mahogany doors opening to expansive Caribbean views. Guests at Los Bohios are certainly pampered in this setting, as they enjoy the views from their bedrooms donning fluffy robes lovingly monogrammed with the estate's name and breathing in the sweet scent of the strategically planted Ylang Ylang tree wafting throughout the Guest Bohio late afternoons and evenings.

To the West side of the Main Bohio is the Master Bohio with a bed in the center of the room taking full advantage of the Caribbean Sea views. The Master Bohio bathroom offers double sinks, indoor and outdoor showers, a toilet, and a bidet. Two informal office areas allow you to comfortably stay in touch while living the Caribbean life in your home on Vieques.

The Pool Terrace is the perfect place to enjoy the swimming pool, sunset views, night time star gazing, and plenty of Caribbean breezes. The custom-designed pool is surrounded by natural coral stone, with stepping stones across the pool. Coral stone accents adorn the main entrance and terraces throughout the estate. The pool features a heater/chiller that knocks off the cool edge in winter and cools the warm waters in summer. The pool furniture, included in the sale of Los Bohios, is made of naturally-aged Teak wood. In addition, the Pool Terrace hosts a large jacuzzi tub that is very private while taking full advantage of the Caribbean views and the islands off Esperanza.

The estate's large Laundry Bohio, which sits atop a cistern that collects rain water or can be filled with municipal water, could affordably be converted to an apartment or additional guests rooms. A pump and pressure tank control and equalize pressure throughout the estate. The Garage Bohio offers space to store an automobile and has an additional attached storage shed for garden implements and water toys. An additional structure is home to utilities and garbage. The entire house is fed during power outages by a generating plant.

The landscaping is yet another of the many details well attended to by the owners. Thought was put into scented plants with Ylang Ylang, orange, and limón trees, as well as gardenias. Fruit trees include avocado, Malay apple, banana, plantain, sea grape, and star fruit.  Many palms are used throughout, with Areca palms planted heavily for screening, coco palms, Adornedia (Christmas) palms, and pygmy date palms. There are also many blooming flowers with bright colored bougainvillea, yellow Allamanda, white gardenias, pink Ixora, as well as tropical ferns and philodendrons.

Los Bohios has custom built shutters for all of the doors and windows, that when open add to the architecture and charm. When the shutter are closed the house is fully secure and offers protection from storms.  Ample outdoor lighting is installed throughout the property as well. Los Bohios is being sold truly Turn Key, with all furnishings, fixtures, and equipment (excluding artwork).

Finally, Los Bohios has not only served its owners as a respite from their busy lives, but has also been a carefully-run business with an outstanding rental history. Please visit the owners web page at www.losbohios.com to get a feel for the marketing side of this multi-faceted property.
