A fantastic 3-bed, 2.5 bath family home for sale in Panajachel, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Just a short drive from central Pana, this house sits on the hillside overlooking the lush valley of the Rio San Francisco.
Beautifully designed and styled by the current owner himself, the house sits in a huge 1 and a half acre of land and verdant gardens. It is set up above the road going to San Andres Semetabaj, so it has space and privacy, but is only a 10-min drive to downtown Pana! The property is accessed via a dirt road leading off the main road, RN-1, and is then entered via a garage area with a huge 25,000-ltr water cistern below it and a casita next door with kitchenette and bathroom for a guardian. A pathway meanders down through the garden full of fruit trees, flowers, bushes and plants to a platform area with a covered pogoda area for seating and a large wood-burning stove for baking bread or pizzas! The 2-level house sits next door set on another terraced area with gardens all around. The front area of the ground level has a large kitchen area with breakfast bar to the dinning area, french doors out to grassed terrace outside, and a large living room area with fireplace. Through an archway takes you to the two lower, large bedrooms and family bathroom. Both bedrooms have French doors leading out to the gardens surrounding the house. The grass terrace outside looks out over further, more wild garden areas with avocado trees. Throughout the house there has been a careful eye to detail with fine wood floors, doors, windows, furniture, cabinets and closets. Upstairs is one large room, which is the Master Bedroom which has an en-suite bathroom with bath tub. French doors lead out onto a paved terrace with wonderful views out across the valley looking north, west and south towards Lake Atitlan.
