Situated within the exclusive community of Faro Escondido, commonly known as one of the country's most exclusive beach resort communities, this landmark estate comes to the market for the first time in its 25 year history. No home within Faro, or frankly on the coast, offers the unique combination of defining characteristics including first class construction quality and impeccable maintenance, a layout boasting 10 bedrooms and 34 total beds, a setting designed for entertaining an abundance of family and friends, and of course, one of the most mesmerizing views that money can buy. Situated just past the tennis courts in Faro Cinco, this home was built sparing no expense, and the location was carefully chosen within the resort to provide the owners and guests with the utmost privacy and exclusivity, as it is behind the tennis facility, and adjacent to a lush rainforest reserve providing not only a setting with just one neighbor, but an impressive backdrop of nature and fresh air. Upon your arrival at this luxury home, you will know you have come across something special. As you enter the private gate, you will find abundant parking for residents and guests. Upon entering the home, the natural flow of the barrel vault ceilings, and the craftsmanship immediately draw your attention to the seemingly infinite drop into the horizon, and ocean and coastline views in the forefront. The walls feature floor to ceiling stucco, and porcelain tile floors, ideal for low maintenance on a beach home. To the right of the home, there is a half bath for guests, as you walk past the two-story atrium and staircase to the second level, you will come to the social areas of the home. To the left, you will see the barrel vaults intersect for an impeccable architectural detail, hovering over the living room, and formal dining room. To the right, the owners have a separate tv room, enclosed in glass to provide privacy and noise separation, while allowing visibility to keep an eye on the kids and grandkids. The social areas were carefully designed to allow full visibility from the comfort of the sofa or dining room, above the pool and all the way to the stunning ocean views, as the owners, who are architects and developers, sunk the outdoor terrace area ever so slightly to accomplish just that. Details like this, that require the eye, attention and experience of a master developer/builder are common ground in this unique, one-of-a-kind luxury home, hence, the name Villa Splendor One. The design of the home runs horizontally almost the entire width of the property to truly provide depth, and space within the home, as this home was meant to host in abundance, and provide each member of the group with privacy and a true sensation of space. As you walk out to the covered terrace, you will find ample social areas, multiple seating, and a unique reflection pool enclosed by columns where the owners often hang a criss cross over 5 hammocks, for a picture-perfect hangout spot. Like the rest of the home, the design and orientation of this social space are focused around the pool, entertaining, and of course, the panoramic, 270 degree ocean, mountain, rainforest and coastal views. Before heading back indoors, lets continue to explore the outdoor areas, which is where the owners, family and friends spend most of their time. From this mid level, you can walk down a set of stairs to reach the pool and deck area. Just under the terrace, i
