| This property is a compound consisting of three tastefully architected
buildings surrounded by a picturesque natural stone wall built for
complete privacy and features its central gardens. Currently established
as an eco-lodge, it is readily adaptable to a private residence
or could be used for commercial purposes. The main building is a
spacious 2 story house of open design with large picture windows
facing the gardens. All construction is of the highest quality materials
and the window framing, doors, open-beam ceilings as well as the
interior fixtures are all made with cyprus wood. The floors are
built of natural clay tile and the roof is of spanish tile. All
dwellings, including the two individual 2-story structures are of
the same materials and share gardens of culinary, medicinal, and
ornamental plants. The complex includes an outdoor wood-burning
sauna, a mayan-style naturally-heated hot tub with mineralized thermal
waters as well as a large traditional mayan ramada. All of these
features are within the garden and are joined by garden paths. The
attractive views of the volcanoes and nearby hillside farmland are
enjoyed from the second story balconies and windows.
The property is set in a friendly, predominantly mayan neighborhood
and blends well with a mix of large western-style residences and
smaller, more modest homes. The location satisfies a range of criteria
for smart living at Lake Atitlan, midway between the bustle of downtown
Panajachel and the best swimming beaches on the lakes north shore.
