Full Description: I stepped outside onto the balcony of one of the upstairs bedrooms and was greeted by an absolutely incredible view of the mighty Atlantic Ocean complete with the sound of the surf pounding on the shore! From the balcony it is a breathtaking vista to say the least and the sound of the ocean is relaxing. Puts me to sleep! This two level home sits on three and one half tareas of and includes a clear title. A very important consideration here in this country.
Back down to the ground floor and out through the trees and flowers at the rear of the house to the oceanfront to be captivated by this scene in photo number two! This is a view looking east along the ocean at one of the neighbors fine homes. There has been a great deal of development in this particular area over the past year or so and there is plenty of new construction going on right now. The "Gringos" have now discovered this location!
In photo number three I am standing at the front of the home and looking through the breezeway towards the garden and the pathway to the ocean. You can see the lovely mature trees that the owner had refused to cut down during the construction of the building. Both front and back you will find this natural beauty and charm. This house has been well constructed and well thought out beforehand. There is a huge cistern and an over sized septic system.
Photo number four is just the opposite of photo number three. Here I am standing at the rear of the house looking through the breezeway towards the front. Once again you can see the natural beauty of the mature trees and flowers. This is the path that leads one down to the ocean viewing area. At the Oceanside there is a cliff of about forty feet with an area that could be designed, quite easily, into a nice swimming area and artificial beach.
Photo number five has me standing at the top of the stairs and looking down the spiral staircase to the front entrance. Some of the floors are tiled in ceramic and some are of varnished wood in a real nice combination. You can also see some of the security iron works in this photo and the complete building has excellent security and protection. The upper level contains three bedrooms and the ground floor level has one other smaller bedroom.
The large open kitchen and dining area was in a bit of a disorder when I took this photo ~ number six ~ as the owner had a cleaning crew in working at the time and I was taking photos around them. However you can see through the disorder for sure! The ceramic tiled floors are evident here as well as another view of the excellent security arrangements. The owner utilizes solar panels for electricity. At the moment there are no municipal electricity connections available but I did see brand new utility poles going up alongside the road. It appears that municipal electricity will soon be available although I actually prefer the free solar energy myself. Great family home here with four bedrooms!
The varnished wood floors are featured here in the last photo and you get yet another view of the ironwork which is a combination of decorative and functional for security. Latino countries are generally quite noisy but this particular area lacks the common noise making elements. The sounds here are pure nature from the birds and animals to the sound of the surf. Very private without being isolated. A short drive into Luperon for groceries and back to enjoy the peace and quiet of your home on the ocean. Watch the parade of ships offshore heading to and from Puerto Plata and Puerto Rico. Watch the sailboats and the yachts heading into Luperon and others leaving for other ports all over the world. Looking for a retirement home? It would be difficult to find a nicer location!
To sum things up we have here a very well constructed home on a nice piece of land stretching from the road to the ocean. The house is situated about midway from the road at the front to the ocean at the rear. Near the road and on the property is a smaller living accommodation for the gardener who doubles as a watchman. Nicely private home without being secluded and with a spectacular ocean view. Four bedrooms make it suitable for a good sized family or a smaller family with lots of visitors! The area is expanding quite rapidly with more "Gringo" type dwellings being constructed all the time. I have tried to present this property in a clear and concise manner but if there are any questions at all then please feel welcome to contact me and ask. We have a "Contact Us" button on every page so that you can send an email direct to my mail box. Please feel free to do so. I will be very happy to be of service!
