With a spectacular vantage point of both Mandango Mountain and Podocarpus National Park, this holistically-built three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in a great location is ready for you to start living your dreams! Not only does this property have a beautiful home, but it also has a separate dojo studio where you can exercise and/or hold classes. This is a newer build with quality finishes present in every area of the house from the doors to the sinks to the ceilings. Both the wood flooring and tiles are of the highest quality. The entire home exudes a peaceful atmosphere thanks to the thoughtful care taken in designing it. Elements like the high ceilings with large wood beams and skylights that let in brilliant natural light are just a couple aspects that give this home such an inviting atmosphere. The kitchen and living area has a spacious open-concept layout with plenty of natural light. There is also a large screened-in patio creating a beautiful and peaceful bug-free indoor-outdoor area where you can enjoy incredible views. Each window in the house is screened allowing fresh clean air to flow. The master bedroom is spacious and has lovely windows facing the mountains allowing you to wake up to gorgeous sunrises every morning. The master bathroom is equally large with two vanities and a tub. The master also has a walk-in closet. The home is situated on a 3000-square-meter (0.74-acre) lot in a great location with low traffic and is a stone's throw away from the security guards at the entrance of Hacienda San Joaquin. This is a unique situation in that the property is not a part of the home owners' association despite its being inside of the security gate. Dojo Studio To one side of the house is an 80-square-meter dojo studio that is equipped with tatami mats for practicing martial arts, yoga, dance, or other activities. The awesome part about this space is that it has amazing views just like the house so you can exercise while taking in the views. In addition to the large open area, there is a 5-person traditional wooden sauna, a bathroom, and an ice bath contrasting with the hot sauna so you can do hot-cold therapy. This dojo studio has a separate entrance, so you could host classes without guests invading the privacy of your home. Storage Area Next to the house is a large 36-square-meter storage building. There is enough room in here for gardeners to rest or have lunch. It comes complete with plenty of tools, a grass-cutter, and other helpful tools for maintenance. Specifics About the Build Offering 309 square meters of living space, this home is well-constructed with earthquake-proof walls and a deep, solid foundation giving you worry-free stability. In fact, soil testing for the foundation was done prior to building and showed the perfect kind of soil for a solid build. Additionally, great care was put into the building process so that no moisture enters or remains in the construction. Drainage has even been installed around the house to ensure any rainwater will be redirected and will not accumulate anywhere. The walls have been made from natural materials allowing them to be breathable. This wall material and the paint used in this house is naturally derived, great for those who are looking for a more organic living space. Much of this is owed to the international architect who built this home with a sense for the finer details. The house was specially wired according to German building standards to avoid any dirty electricity that could be harmful to occupants. Everything has been properly grounded with a brand new 25kw transformer pulling the main cable to the house from the grou
