OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE!!! Flamboyant Hill, a quintessential minimalist, organic mid-century modern home, located on a full acre with a pool nestled into the verdant hills of Grande Princess seeks the discerning buyer. Recently renovated by an artist and environmentalist, and author of Under the Crucian Sun: A Memoir of Place, this unique property has it all: big sky, long views, mature growth, a large, deep pool, excellent location, a carport, a separate guest/caretaker wing and complete privacy. Up a canopied driveway, lined by over 160 feet of hand mason stone walls on either side, this serene home perches above a mini tropical forest, loosely curated and terraced, sloping away from the house, punctuated by palm, mahogany, almond, flamboyant and turpentine trees. (Continued) A central courtyard with original terrazzo floors separates the completely accessible, 2-bedroom, 2-bath main house from a 2-bedroom,1-bath guest wing, creating a Mediterranean feel. The solid concrete and stone house boasts over 4,500 square feet of indoor/outdoor living and a lovely cross-breeze, making it perfect for a vacation rental, personal getaway or island home. There are three distinct patio areas comprising almost 2,700 square feet, which allow for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining. The entryway terrazzo features an outdoor stone bar and covered porch for outdoor dining or taking zoom calls. The main residence to the west features two bedrooms with enormous windows looking into the tropical forest to the south, bringing the outdoors inbreezes and birds floating through palm, mahogany, almond, flamboyant and turpentine trees. The rooms have high ceilings and are lined with local stone juxtaposed with natural concrete finished walls for a truly unique nod to the home's storied past. The primary bathroom and kitchen are well appointed with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The guest wing to the east allows for complete privacy from the main residence making it suitable as a rental or for a caretaker. It enjoys an ample living space, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundry room with large, new energy saver washer and dryer, and exits to the carport and to the brick terrace at opposite ends. Exposed beams, reclaimed interior windows, and a tropical palette make the guest wing distinct from the main residence. The khaki-painted metal fence which runs around the home can be closed in multiple ways allowing the grounds to be dog friendly. The home went through a major renovation recently, with key updates including new roof, entirely new electrical and plumbing, new windows and mahogany doors throughout. There are three underground cisterns and a water buffalo. The deep, generous pool, from which to view the big-sky sunset was retiled and painted this year, and has a new, highly efficient variable pump that runs on $35 a month. The property benefits from the nearby Estate Thomas Experimental Forest. See the supplement for details on the fascinating pedigree of this unique property, which was once owned by photographer Fritz Henle and dancer Atti van Berg. A brilliant recitation of the seller's journey taking this remarkable home from a skeletal wreck to mid-century modern elegance can be found in the supplement.
