Designed for those who appreciate natural beauty and modern architectural lines, this property offers a rare treehouse perspective with all the comforts of a contemporary house. The heart of the home features an open-concept floor plan crowned by open-beams and high ceilings. Whether you are in the living room or the primary bedroom, the large windows create a seamless connection to the running stream and tropical palms. The lower level is an adaptable space, offering two multi-functional rooms currently utilized as a den and a secondary sleeping area. The full bathroom features a large soaking tub and separate walk-in shower finished with river-rock flooring and tile throughout.
