A crows nest style office features six-foot picture windows on three-sides, overlooking many miles of Mayan mountains, a coffee plantation, butterfly and herb gardens. This room could also serve as an extra bedroom. The guest quarters are set apart, at the other end of the 2,775 square ft. villa. Between, opposite the greatroom, are an elegant dining room, yoga room and state- of- the-art kitchen. There are two charming guest bedrooms, each with spectacular mountain vista views. The guest bathroom, between the two bedrooms, features locally-crafted cedar cabinets and counter, a bathtub and shower.

It presently holds two refrigerators, a new stainless steel six-burner gas stove and oven (available for sale to buyer), plus a table with three chairs for casual meals. There is an arched, Spanish-tiled counter/bar opening into the dining room for easy serving. A long, elegantly lighted corridor (pasillo) of 35x5.5 feet runs from the guest quarters to the greatroom. It was designed for and presently serves as a two-sided photo and art gallery. The ample laundry room, between the kitchen and garage doors, holds an electric washer and dryer (available for sale to buyer), plus two tables for folding and storage. Every room in the house features traditional Spanish double arched 5x5 feet or larger glass and screened windows, securely protected by ornamental wrought iron covers, locally fashioned and called balcones in Spanish.
