The waterfalls

Private access to a river and waterfall, a short walk from the house

One of the estate's most distinctive features is private access to a crystal-clear river and natural waterfall. Follow the trail behind the property and the sound finds you before the falls do — close enough for a before-work loop, quiet enough that you'll usually have it to yourself.

Grounds & entertainment

A pool, two gazebos, and grounds made for gathering

The property also includes a heated swimming pool with a lighting system, a private basketball court, 2 gazebos, a professional BBQ area, landscaped gardens, fruit trees, and parking for up to 20 vehicles.

The location

High enough to disappear, close enough not to miss a thing

Seen from above, the property reveals exactly what it feels like to live in: tucked into the mountains of Bonao, 950 meters above sea level, with no other rooftop in sight. Yet that privacy doesn't mean isolation — Santo Domingo and Santiago are both about 90 minutes away, making it an ideal private residence, second home, or weekend retreat.

Living here

The week away you keep meaning to take

Most people find this place looking for somewhere to escape to for a few days. The people who buy it stop leaving. There's a version of life here that runs slower — coffee on the terrace, the falls in the morning, nothing scheduled after dark. It's less a house than a standing invitation to stay in it.
