The home was built in 2015 and is made from concrete blocks, metal roofing with beautiful local hardwood ceilings and doors. The home was designed as a two-level home with the upper level accommodating a full size Master Suite with a small walk-in closet, a private bathroom that features a custom built stained concrete wash basin and a riverstone shower wall. The suite has a 22 ft ceiling with 14 glass louver windows, 6 solid windows and a sliding glass door with screens providing plenty of natural lighting and optimal ventilation. A built-in wooden ladder provides access to the loft, which can be used as an additional sleeping or living area. The suite also has a ceiling fan, which is hardly ever needed. The kitchen has ceramic tile counter tops and plenty of shelves for dishes and cookware. It comes with a small gas stove, full size Sankey refrigerator, a large capacity Sankey washing machine (both with inverters for energy efficiency) and a pantry. It also has a pot rack that is suspended from the ceiling. The flooring throughout the main level is a river stone tile, which is easy to maintain. The beautiful deck is accessible from the master suite and kitchen and features a custom wood fired hot tub big enough to comfortably seat 2-4 people. It also has a built in planter, where you can grow flowers, herbs and vegetables. The deck is overlooking the forest and river and is ideal for watching the birds and monkeys, which visit frequently. At night the stars are clearly visible because of the lack of light pollution. The guest suite is on the lower level. It was designed to accommodate a live in caretaker or as a guest bedroom. It has a private bath with shower similar to the master suite. A kitchen sink with countertop was added to be able to rent this space out without having to let the guests have access to the main upper level. It features a custom built queen sized mahogany bed with a single bunk bed on top and shelves/clothing racks on each side. There is also a solar room that has plenty of storage capacity and a separate storage room with shelves. A Hotpoint gas dryer is also on the deck. The lower deck has plenty of room to hang clothes, hammocks for relaxation or for larger
