Casa Del Capitan

Property Description

Casa del Capitan is a luxurious new build located on the canal in the serene Coral Beach Village area on Utila's South Shore. This location serves as a superb vantage point for bird watching and observation of life in the lush green tropical mangroves.

Relaxation and appreciation for nature are what residents or visitors to this beautiful home automatically feel as they enter the high-ceilinged sanctuary. The canal site allows for peace and serenity with the shore of the Caribbean Sea and the beach less than a ten minute walk away.

The home is 4000 spacious square feet and built with comfortable tropical living in mind. The four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms can accommodate a large family or plenty of guests and a loft space can be utilized for an additional sleeping area, study, play room or exercise.

Careful consideration during the construction phase positioned Casa del Capitan on the 0.52 acre lot so that the predominant easterly trade winds blow through and act as a natural cooling system.

Outdoor living areas mesh seamlessly with the indoors through glass paned French doors which fold back to combine the spaces and also allow in natural light and the brilliance of the tropical environment. An observation deck on the 4th floor of the home offers unparalleled views of the island of Utila.

The large, wrap around covered patio on the main level of the home contains a barbecue and food preparation area as well as a conveniently placed outdoor shower with a door that leads into the powder room on the same floor.

Natural and local materials have been utilized throughout the construction of this home including Honduran hardwood for the custom made cabinetry and furniture in the kitchen, the bathroom cabinets and for the staircases. The elegant tile floors have been inlaid with custom mosaics throughout the home which has been tastefully decorated using neutral colours and refined designs which do not draw attention away from the splendor beyond the windows.

The light fixtures were all custom designed and locally made on the neighbouring island of Roatan.

Storage was taken seriously with the design of this home and there is no lack of places to stow things away. Beneath the home there is a large storage space at ground level with dual roll down doors which could be used as a garage.
