Beautiful space

Convenient location within the Zacatitos community and easy to find. Beautiful open concept living space with a lot of additional outdoor area extending the usable space. Beautiful ocean view in the distance with whale watching, if you remember your binoculars!

The home is beautiful and very private. The view is magnificent. The property is about a 15 minute walk to the beach. The beach is private and not very populated. There are burros roaming the area that are fun to stop and pet. The house is well appointed and very comfortable for three couples.

Why they chose this property

This architectural masterpiece has been featured in many articles and magazines (*). Designed by renowned Canadian architect Javier Campos, it's a stunning centerpiece in the East Cape integrated into the desert landscape.
'We tried to create forms that are very simple and mirror the desert. The houses have the most minimal but essential sense of domestic luxury. It's all there; it's just very pared down' [Javier Campos, Architect]

The house is eco-friendly with stunning 360 views of the ocean and the desert. It runs 100% on solar power. It does not require air-conditioning, because the unique design allows for cooling airflows throughout.

This is true indoor/outdoor living in a unique landscape. The unique design accommodates ambient airflows from the environment. The 2 main bedrooms are upstairs separated by a hallway. If you book for more than 4 guests, we will open up the brand new add-on casita with an additional bedroom and private bathroom for 2 additional guests. Please understand that we only open access if you pay for additional guests beyond 4.
