Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

The “High Rise” is a 241m2 (2594 sq ft) Quality Luxury House designed specifically for Lot#2 of Selva Rio Estates. It is a 2 story house that reaches 9.5m (31.2 feet) high. It is like none other you have ever seen. To start with, the main living areas and the pool are on the second story to take in the amazing views. The second story is a complete open concept with 6.21m (20.4 feet) high ceilings, which are finished with gorgeous laurel wood with almond wood beams. The kitchen (with an island and a small bar) and living room take up the majority of this space. The cupboards and doors are custom, hand-made from Cedro (Spanish cedar) wood. All countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms are granite. All floors and the first 2m high of walls in the bathrooms are tiled. On one side is a bathroom which is inside the huge rock wall that stretches to the ceiling and on the other side is a nock that jets out and serves as the office while overlooking the jungle. The six sliding doors in the living room allow you to open up the house creating an amazing outdoor feel, even inside. The doors lead out to the large covered patio area with an impressive custom cement railing and an infinity pool to cool off in. That is right, your own infinity pool on the second story, high in the sky, with an underwater bench to relax on while looking out over the fabulous views. This 2 bedroom, 3 bath luxury home is sure to please.
On the first floor we have the bedrooms which have 10 feet high ceilings which stay cool for a great night’s sleep. They are located off the rock covered hallway. The master bedroom has sliding doors directly out to a small covered sitting area which is perfect for having your morning coffee and listening to the birds. The master bedroom also has a large ensuite washroom. This washroom has a huge shower that has 2 separate control valves and 2 giant rainfall showerheads that come out of the ceiling. These showerheads are equipped with LED lights that change color with the water temperature. A walk-in closet completes the room. The second bedroom is also equipped with an ensuite washroom and the laundry room is on the first floor as well. There is a covered carport at the front
