3 Bedroom · pool · ocean views
Casa Iguana is centrally located in the middle of Vieques Island, Puerto Rico. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has a wonderful front balcony and pool deck from which you can enjoy views to the north of the Caribbean Sea, mainland Puerto Rico and the island of Culebra.
The house has two floors built into a slightly slanted hillside. The second level has the 40x34 foot pool deck, with ocean views and outside shower.
The second floor has two bedrooms with ample closet space, one full bathroom, closet, kitchen, open living/dining space and full front balcony with cooling breezes and beautiful ocean views to the north. Tile flooring can be found throughout the second floor, complimented by colorful walls and kitchen counter tiles. The kitchen has built in covered cabinets, with stove, microwave, and dishwasher.
The first floor has a 13x22 foot garage, laundry room, internal stairs to the second floor and an additional bedroom with its own WC and shower.
The engineering built into this home is exceptional. The electrical system is run by an Eguana lithium battery system with automatic switching through the reverse meter connection to the grid. 26 solar panels, each rated 250 WH, provide sufficient energy to a house that normally uses 25-35 kWh per day. The panels were installed in 2015 and the batteries in 2018. For times when the house is running off the grid, there is a whole home surge protector in place. There is a water purification system on the main pipe between the house and municipal water meter. There is a 600 gallon cistern with automatic water pressure pump in case the municipal water runs out or runs low. The house once had a septic system, but has since been connected to town sewar. And there are storm shutters for all upper windows and doors.
The entrance has an electric gate, and both properties have various fruit trees planted including bananas and pomegranate.
