Modern villa with a swimming pool, located in the popular and family-friendly neighborhood of Bona Bista. The house, equipped with solar panels, is situated on the outer edge and offers expansive views of nature and the ocean. The property features 3 bedrooms plus a spacious studio/apartment on the ground floor. Additionally, there is a large palapa, a greenhouse, ample parking on the premises, and a pergola in the tropical mature garden.

Layout

This villa is characterized by the use of natural materials combined with sand-colored concrete ciré elements throughout the house. This gives the villa a modern and robust appearance, with varying elevation levels adding a playful effect. Upon entering, there is an immediately closable staircase to the upper floor, allowing the ground floor to be rented out separately or used as an independent guest residence. The house is equipped with 8 solar panels and rainwater collection.

At the center of the first floor lies the spacious kitchen with an island and bar area. The kitchen is equipped with a 5-burner gas stove with an oven, a dishwasher and a side-by-side fridge/freezer. While cooking, there is a beautiful view towards Seru Largu. On the poolside, large glass sliding doors lead to the covered terrace with both a dining and seating area, where you overlook the kunuku nature of Bonaire. The compact living/TV room with a double glass built-in cabinet is located at the front, while the spacious master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom is on the side. French doors and an outdoor staircase leading to the pool deck allow for a refreshing morning dip in the saltwater pool.

On the ground floor, there are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a studio/apartment with French doors to the front garden and a side-door to the garden. Currently, this space is used as a second living room with an open kitchen, but it can also be used as a studio or fourth bedroom. This kitchen is also equipped with a 5-burner gas stove, dishwasher, oven and a detached American refrigerator. The 3 bedrooms are equipped with inverter air conditioners and ceiling fans and have wooden shutter windows with glass panes. The studio/apartment has shutters only. The spacious rear bedroom with an en-suite bathroom has its own walk-in closet and French doors to the pool deck.

At the rear of the property, there is a beautifully shaped polyester saltwater pool measuring 86 sq.ft (32 m2) with coral stone travertine floor tiles surrounding it. Next to the pool deck is a 172 sq.ft (16 m2) palapa with a concrete foundation, built above a cistern that can collect 635 cubic feet (18 m3) of rainwater. The garden is equipped with two separate drip systems connected to both this cistern and the 3-chamber septic tank. On the left side of the house, a greenhouse has been built atop the septic tank. On the right side, there is a spacious parking area, which also serves as the setup spot for gas bottles and bins. Behind the house, there is also a pergola where you can enjoy dining with friends and family.

The ground floor also has a separate room for the washing machine and storage for diving gear, as well as an individual pump house. These spaces can also be accessed from the pool deck.

The house was built in 2014/2015 and is occupied by the first owners. Additionally, there is a building permit available for the construction of an additional apartment or studio. Finally, it’s worth noting that the terrace offers a beautiful view of the sunset, and in the evening it provides a magical view of the lights of Kralendijk.
