Outdoor Living & Natural Surroundings

This design-forward villa appears to float above the surrounding greenery, with expansive wooden decks and colorful gardens embracing the structure. At its heart, the main terrace overlooks the forest canopy and the namesake creek—creating a perfect setting for morning coffee, quiet reading, or sunset conversation.

The estate features 5.5 hectares (13.6 acres) of private trails and gardens, where guests can walk through fruit trees, vibrant flowers, and native vegetation. As you explore, you might spot titi monkeys, white-faced capuchins, howler monkeys, deer, toucans, and scarlet macaws—all frequent visitors to this slice of paradise.
