Villa Soluna Estate – Cabarete, DR

Description Villa Soluna Estate is actually a family compound located in a highly-respected residential community of larger properties in the spectacular hill country behind Sosua and Cabarete on the north shore of the Dominican Republic. The property is comprised of 2 lots totaling 21,000 square meters, or about 5.2 acres. The 3 bedroom main house and 2 bedroom guest house are located on one lot, leaving a beautiful building site for future expansion.  A fully equipped service apartment is located next to the 3-car garage. This Multi-Million Dollar Estate is one of his kinds. His architecture is unique, stunning and the views towards the ocean and the mountain are breathtaking. The main part of Villa Soluna Estate is spacious and open, with cathedral ceilings in most rooms. The entry is unique. One passes across a wooden threshold and enters the house via a wide, contemporary view-axis passage that separates guest bedrooms on one side from dining, kitchen and family spaces on the other side. Passing completely through the house, one arrives at the wonderful pool and lounging area whose infinity pool reflects the mountains to the south where rolling meadows give way to stands of royal palms and Jacaranda. The architecture of both main house and guest quarters is best described as a melding of contemporary form with traditional detail. The furniture is also contemporary for the most part though special, more traditional pieces soften the overall scheme. Fine carpets and rare woods enhance the living areas. Overall, the villa combines indoor and outdoor living in a seamless way. Most rooms feature large glass doors that open an entire wall to the outdoors and the extensive pool terrace and tropical gardens. The present villa owner built the house for himself and his extended family. Being an experienced, well-travelled gourmet chef, the owner’s kitchen is designed for serious cooking and serious fun. An entire family may gather here and watch or participate. It is a truly remarkable space, complete with high, airy ceilings and views to the mountains. The ground floor of the main house, in addition to the living and gathering spaces described above, supports two ensuite guest bedrooms with lovely views and direct access to the pool terrace. The upper level is accessed via a contemporary staircase of cast concrete with rare wood treads and stainless steel railings. The master suite is comprised of a large bedroom, fabulous bathroom, and closet spaces and is linked via a bridge to the nearby office and personal gym. The gym room has ocean views and opens to the huge YOGA/SUN terrace which overlooks the pool and has stunning mountain views. The 2 bedroom/2 bath guest house is only 20 meters from the main house and features a full kitchen and dining/living area, making it a self-sufficient smaller villa suitable for family or grown children.
