Tucked away behind a gated 300-foot driveway, this one-bedroom, one-bath home sits in a secluded garden sanctuary with an extraordinary variegated banyan tree as the centerpiece. In the shade of the banyan tree you'll find orchids, brilliant red anthuriums, bromeliads, ti, crotons, and ferns weaving a living tapestry, with pathways that wander past fruit trees and open spaces waiting to be explored.

The home itself is compact, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for island living. A 300 sq ft great room brings together the kitchenette, dining and living areas in one open space filled with light. The 190 sq ft bedroom includes a reading nook and workspace, and the recently updated bathroom features a tiled shower and modern finishes. A new covered lanai"”approximately 10 × 32 feet"”extends the living space outdoors, perfect for reading in the shade, afternoon BBQs or just listening to the patter of the tropical rain across the garden canopy.
