A Private Estate in Harbour Lights — 1 Harbour Lights Drive, Palmas Del Mar | $4,900,000
Behind the gates of Harbour Lights Estates stands a stately Caribbean-style colonial — a residence exuding the very essence of what it means to be in the tropics: gracious, unhurried, and made for life between indoors and out, on a scale Palmas Del Mar rarely offers.
The heart of the home is a newly renovated chef's kitchen built for serious cooking and effortless entertaining: shaker cabinetry with brass hardware, a large island with a brushed-gold gooseneck faucet, teardrop pendants imported from Turkey, double wall ovens, an induction cooktop under a stainless chimney hood, ice maker and glass-front display cabinetry — plus a full butler's pantry that is a second working prep kitchen in its own right. The five bedrooms are arranged for ultimate privacy: a first-floor master suite, a private bedroom suite at pool level, and three bedrooms upstairs. The upstairs bedrooms sit under vaulted ceilings with detailed woodwork, and from the upper level the view opens up — blue ocean, distant islands, and the marina's masts over neighboring red rooftops. Throughout the house, warm wood accents and patterned tile lend an authentic character — a natural warmth that makes a residence of this scale feel personal rather than grand. The galleries give the house its grandeur: the curved upper gallery overlooks the double-height great hall, and covered galleries and balconies open the rooms to the outdoors at every turn. That same grand scale flows outside to the pool terrace, where the stone deck and blue-mosaic pool set the stage for the cabana kitchen and open-air entertaining. A 20’X40’ pool with blue mosaic tile features a wide sun ledge with loungers and a hot tub anchor a spectacular stone deck. The pool level has its own full cabana kitchen with an open serving window directly to poolside entertaining featuring a full galley kitchen with an induction range, dishwasher and everything you need to make entertaining a snap. French doors open straight to the pool deck. An extensive rooftop solar array of 20-plus panels speaks to the home's modern infrastructure, and so does its backup power: a WHIPPER HSY-40 standby diesel generator — Yanmar-powered, with a 33 kW standby rating wired to an automatic transfer switch, so it starts on its own and the house keeps running through a grid outage. The offering also includes a second full cuerda (0.97 acres, 42,306 sq ft) at the Harbour Lights entrance off Palmas Drive, adding space and privacy, with the potential for an auxiliary building, a tennis court, or even another residence.Then there is Palmas Del Mar itself: 2,750 gated acres on Puerto Rico's southeast coast with two championship golf courses (the Flamboyan, by Rees Jones, and the Palm, by Gary Player), a full-service marina and yacht club, a beach club, the Caribbean's largest private tennis center with 20 courts plus pickleball, an equestrian center, the 60-acre Pterocarpus forest reserve, the Palmas Academy, and more than a dozen restaurants — all roughly 45 to 60 minutes from San Juan.
Offered at $4,900,000 — approximately $598 per square foot for a residence of this scale, a compelling value within Palmas Del Mar's luxury tier.
