Villa with Studio and Guesthouse for Sale in Antigua, Sacatepequez, Guatemala

Live in Paradise Year Round

It is not often that a fine home comes on the market in this location. The home can be used as a private estate, vacation rental, restaurant and gallery, or an artist or writer's paradise. The 360 degree views are of coffee plantations, volcanoes, tropical gardens and the Antigua valley. It is 10 minutes from Antigua, the colonial UNESCO World Heritage gem known for art galleries, museums, shops, five-star restaurants and boutique hotels, concerts and theater; 10 minutes from a nature preserve; 75 minutes from Guatemala City Aurora International Airport; and, within a few hours from world-renowned Tikal and Lake Atitlán. Antigua has a sizeable foreign (USA, European and Canadian) community.

The three buildings were designed and built by the architect/owner who ensured superior construction. The buildings are nestled in the private tropical gardens traversed by stone stairways, goldfish pond and sound of falling water. The land is approximately 1,587.19 m² or 0.40 acres surrounded by perimeter walls and total construction is 704.5 mt² or 7,583 ft². The buildings are: two-story villa (approx. 4,216 ft²); separate guesthouse; two-story studio space with parking garage below ground; and a utility/laundry room. The electrical and plumbing are done to U.S. code.

The villa’s first floor is open plan with large master living room and small sitting room with boveda domed ceiling, colonial period stone fireplace and flooring acquired from an colonial-era nobleman’s house; an ample kitchen; dining room; and family room. Three large patios emanate from the dining area, master living room and master bedroom with views of the garden and Antigua valley. The second floor is two wings: One with the sizeable master bedroom with sitting room and fireplace, a private patio and adjoining studio/office, a master bath with tiled walk-in shower, adjoining hot tub and walk-in closet with cedar wood shelving and cabinetry. The complementary wing has two large bedrooms with large windows and full-sized cedar closets. The shared hallway has a large linen closet and a full bath. The guesthouse is crowned by a boveda ceiling and an ample bathroom with a sunken tub and shower of handmade tiles and a patio area. The two-story studio has mahogany and glass cabinetry, sky lights for natural lighting and industrial electrical capacity.
