This is a two-bedroom suite on a second-floor guest corner situated in a 27-acre citrus farm. Each bedroom has its attached bathroom. This suite has dedicated kitchen, laundry, and balcony. It has a separate entrance from the main house through garage. The house is powered by solar array and Tesla batteries, so we won’t have a blackout even during power outages as long as not a lot of AC being used.
The space
This is a custom designed and built six bedroom and six bath Oriental/Italian style house. This unit in this listing is the guest corner of that house occupying the entire second floor. It consists of two hotel-style bedrooms each with its own bathroom, a private covered balcony, a kitchenette to cook simple meals, a washer/dryer combo, and two refrigerators, with total of 896 sf living areas. The larger bedroom has a large walk-in closet and a small sofa bed, 4 ft by 6 ft, for the fifth person. If you book for 5 persons, we will make it into a bed. It's better suited for two families, a group of friends, family with grown children. Not very convenient for a family with little children as you may feel your little ones are too far away. There is no living room.
