Vilcabamba Glimpse #54

ONE RESIDENT'S GUEST HOME

A number of our property owners are building guest homes. Nine are in various stages of construction. Two are complete, including the one shown in this Glimpse. Our Deed Restrictions allow one main house, one guest house and one caretaker house per property.

The guest home shown includes two bedrooms (one bedroom has a loft), two bathrooms, a great room (kitchen, dining and living), pantry, laundry, and porch. This home, to include the porch, is 104 square meters (1,119 square feet). Because of the openness and volume from the high ceilings, this home has a great sense of spaciousness. All the traditional woods (custom windows and doors) and ceramics give it a cozy feel. We do all the woodwork, including the furniture, in our own carpenter shop.

This guest home will connect to the owner's main home by a covered walkway.
