Vilcabamba Glimpse #61

Featured Home at Hacienda San Joaquin, Property Q3BU

In my recent series of Featured Homes, this is yet another beautiful one (available and for sale on property Q3BU). This home is identical to one of the two floor plans we've created for the villas at our hotel. The owner of this home liked this villa plan so much, he decided to use it for his guest house on his property Q3BU.

This is a very unique property. For someone who wants a view property, this is it. The views from it are spectacular. The last couple of photos give only a hint of the amazing 200-degree views. For more photos of the views and the home go to http://picasaweb.google.com/jrsimonetta/March312009VillaOnQ3BU#

The home sets on a large hillside terrace surrounded by stone walls (see photos below) and a stone-wall entrance drive up the hill. The property is 3.5 acres. The guest house, shown here, is complete and ready to move into. There is plenty of room to build a main house if desired or just live in the existing "guest" house. It's certainly large enough at 1,675 square feet (that includes the front porch, loft and attic).

This beautiful home has two bedrooms, two baths, a loft above one bedroom and an attic above the other, living room and study area, dining room, custom kitchen and pantry, laundry room, and front porch from which to take in the views.

It is finished beautifully with very attractive heavy wood columns on the porch, traditional-colored ceramic-tile floors, rich granite counter tops, exposed-beam wood ceilings, custom-made solid-wood arched windows and doors, modern bathrooms and kitchens, custom cabinets, skylights, and barrel-tile roof. This solidly built home (concrete, steel, stucco, plaster, etc.) was made the way homes used to be made.

The price for this very unique property is $350,000.

A floor plan is available. If you have interest or questions, please let me know. Thank you.

Best, Joe
