A Casa de Campo® classic originally built in 1991 with most of the estate’s original design elements and intentions remaining intact, the residence has been recently updated by renowned architect Bryan Gore to be in line with today's life style, as well as mechanically updated to ensure efficiency, including a new gated entry, main vehicle motor-court, service drive, and lighting.
This 5-bedroom estate is located in the exclusive and private Barranca Este neighborhood, around the corner from the Marina and a short walk to the La Romana Country Club. This completely furnished “Billy Reid Cabral” designed villa emanates an authentic Caribbean aura through its deep mahogany woodwork and use of coralina stone, as well as through the residence’s diverse corridors and hallways which allow natural light to seep in and fill each area. The soft yellow and white tones found in the furnishings and décor are a natural homage to the estate’s true Dominican essence. “The use of the house with friends and family has been the of great value; the house itself and its dramatic surroundings inspire everyone who visits to want to come back every time,” shares the current owner. Situated atop a privileged 4,250 SM (45,730 SF) parcel overlooking the 2nd hole of the La Romana Country Club golf course, and benefiting from a southern exposure, privacy and luxury are the heart and soul of the estate. Cooking a delicious dinner for two or ten? No problem! This home offers you a newly renovated, completely achromatic, and generously ample kitchen.

Via the family’s recollection, “ the most inspiring view is the front door/porte-cochere looking towards one of the greatest signature trees in Casa de Campo®; majestic and powerful. From this view the garden naturally calls below the spread of this tree’s branches, protecting and representing the vast motor court, Palm Allee and the villa’s gated entry, each of were designed to honor this captivating tree as it continuously exudes it's undeniable energy.” A real sense of timelessness exists in this setting and is the first and last impression that one experiences when visiting the estate.
