"THE SKY HOUSE" is set on the edge of El Yunque Rain Forest yet only a 40 minute drive from SJU Airport and the City of San Juan. A 25 minute walk on a jungle path brings you to a secret swimming hole.
The house Brags 180-degree UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS to the valley below, San Juan, & the Pacific Ocean. This spotless, furnished, pet friendly home has everything you need, including "High Speed Internet", a 50" TV and a large fully equipped kitchen. All cooled by split air conditioning units (one downstairs and 1 in each bedroom), a huge 400 square foot roof top patio plus a newly added deck out front with a large jacuzzi (not heated but enough room to sit 8!) overlooking the 30 plus mile views beyond.
The last house on a dead-end street, "The Sky House" is part of a very small (a dozen houses?) gated community, offering one square acre of fenced lawn, total privacy & security, and a palpable sense of wellbeing, nature, & peace. Your neighbor on the north perimeter of the property is El Yunque Rain Forest with wildflowers and jungle foliage to enjoy from the roof top patio.
Explore multiple rivers, hiking trails, waterfalls and swimming holes. A 40 minute drive on country roads brings you to world-class, ocean front golf course resorts with upscale hotels, bars & restaurants or n the north shore.
A 25-minute walk brings you to a large hidden swimming hole, a rushing river, and boulders to sun on. (The healing, mineral water (drinkable) is rated the purest in the US park system.)
A bumpy 15 minute jungle drive north brings you to "Hacienda Siesta Alegre Hotel". A gorgeous 100-acre horse ranch caters weddings and special events. Also an unforgettable ASPEN like bar / restaurant attached to the property "The Hitching Post", offers great food & cocktails overlooking the horse-riding circle.
An eight-minute (bumpy) mountain drive south brings you to a quirky, super cool "Fablian?" Restaurant & Bar with old cars and airplanes sticking out of the ground, gorgeous views, and a live weekly band at Sunday Brunch.
Walmart, Marshals, 2 shopping centers, banks, and a multi plex movie theater are just a 15-minute drive down the hill.
The weather is always about 10-15 degrees cooler than in San Juan, (comfortable 60-80 degrees year-round & 50-70 at night. Breezes abound. Rain is usually short & strong (5 minutes - 2 hours) breaking to blue skies and white puffy clouds & rainbows. Great as a weekend country house. Get aways from the hustle & bustle of San Juan.
The Sky House"... As close to "Heaven" as you can get in this world!
