The home is located in a prime area surrounded by successful rental properties, making it an attractive option for tourists, expats, and traveling nomads. The quiet yet central location, sunny pool, towering jungle surroundings, secure gate, and walled perimeter cater to the needs of visitors. There is potential for commercial use, as the property can be expanded to include another room, transforming the current 2-bedroom layout into a sought-after 3-bedroom family getaway. A creative owner could enhance the landscaping and amenities to develop an exclusive mini-resort. The house itself is beautifully positioned over a steep jungle-covered ravine, featuring a covered wrap-around patio that takes full advantage of the elevated location. Relaxing on the patio allows for views into the canopies of a towering tropical rainforest. The home includes two large bedrooms with full ensuites, ample storage, workspaces, TVs, and large windows that provide direct access to the patio through sliding glass doors. The central area of the house is airy and spacious, with high ceilings and bright walls, complemented by an outstanding kitchen designed to inspire culinary creativity.
