One of the most elegant luxury homes in Guam is now for sale.
Located in the upscale Nimitz Hill neighborhood on Mama Sandy Road, this 5,000-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom house offers not only 180 degree panoramic views overlooking the beautiful Asan Bay, but also an infinity pool and 24-foot-high ceilings. The many features of this property were custom made for the original owner because their lifestyle demanded the best when they decided to call Guam home.
Sitting 300 feet away from the main road at the end of a paved drive, the home is very accessible and provides the perfect venue for entertaining high-profile guests. A gated half-moon driveway and three-car garage can welcome as many as eight vehicles.
Luxurious, modern architecture complements the tastes of any interior decorator, traditional or adventurous. Custom-built kitchen cabinets, grand archways, granite countertops and travertine flooring provide a sumptuous backdrop for a homeowner’s personal style. The most recent tenant furnished the home with beautiful Balinese decor.
While two dining areas accommodate for the classiest social events and cocktail hours, there were no sacrifices made for privacy. The master bedroom occupies the first floor of the home with direct access to the infinity pool. A homeowner could spend their mornings waking up to the sight of an incredible ocean view right before taking a dip in the infinity pool just outside their bedroom door.
Now that the original owners have relocated stateside, the property is now on the market for $1.4 million, even though a recent appraisal found that the property is worth $1.5 million. The home itself sits on an extremely valuable parcel of land. The lot was purchased by the original owner for $500,000, and the home was built for $900,000. The homes in the surrounding neighborhood are worth anywhere from $400,000 to $2 million.
In total, the home sits on a half-acre lot of land worth, and includes typhoon shutters, solar-power panels, a backup generator and a rain water catchment system that drains into a 3,000 gallon underground water tank. The underground water tank is a very unique feature for a property in Guam, and offers additional protection for the home’s assets in the event of a storm.
This property, built by 5M Construction in 2011 and managed by Edge Realty, is the perfect setting for a person of taste searching for a second home, or someone who would like to retire comfortably.
The home is not only beautiful, but sustainable and safe for a deluxe property.
