THE RESIDENCE
Dubbed "Casa Orquidea" and featured in numerous international design publications, this delightful 6-bedroom/4.5-bath retreat was conceptualized by California architect Miguel Podolsky and brought to life by custom-built engineer Karl Gronemeyer. Spanning nearly 6,000 sq. ft., the residence showcases exquisite Spanish Colonial architecture and fine finishes. The open floor plan seamlessly integrates traditional aesthetics with old-world craftsmanship and timeless design elements, resulting in a layout that is both practical and imaginative. Distinctive Spanish style marries the finest materials and finishes, crafting spaces that are both inviting and eclectic, sophisticated yet comfortable.

Upon entry, a Great Room with a Dining Area unfolds effortlessly from the professionally equipped Kitchen and Breakfast Bar, boasting rich custom cabinetry, granite countertops, ample pantry space, imported hardware, and subtle accents. The poolside Master Suite opens onto the outdoor terrace, featuring an inlaid brick ceiling and shaded lounge areas, while the two additional guest suites share a bathroom adorned with traditional Spanish detailing. Ascend the staircase to the second-floor Entertainment Room, boasting a soaring 8-meter (25 ft.) vaulted hardwood ceiling suspended by a massive center beam, and stunning tropical hardwood floors throughout. Bathed in natural light from expansive windows, this space encompasses a Wine Bar, Home Theater, and Lounge/Piano Area, with handcrafted wooden doors leading to a covered balcony with "caña brava" ceilings and ample hammocks for leisurely afternoons. The spacious second-floor Master Suite exudes elegance with high ceilings, rustic accents, direct access to the covered terrace, and an adjoining bath with double showers and walk-in closet.
