Villa Il Tramonto a one of a kind estate in Punta del Este This imposing estate is perched atop a granite formation in Punta Ballena overlooking west over the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and Rio de la Plata, granting it a commanding view of what many consider the best sunsets in all of Latin America. With its private beach, which doubles as a heliport access point, this multilevel, multi-terrace compound offers its lucky owners one of a kind privacy and security while granting the comfort of unobstructed water access and views. The Villa amenities are well thought through and the shear amount of livable space makes this a true resort-like destination. Designed to make quite a profound impression, the Main Level can serve for entertaining heads of State and Royalty, while allowing for more casual family-oriented spaces on the Ground Level. The Villa can accommodate well over 500 guests for a single event with dining and sitting capacity up to 200 guests on the Ground Level alone. Multiple kitchens, stairs, elevators and passages allow personnel to attend to guests with little distraction or interruptions. Access to these quarters is through the master marble staircase or the elevator. At the entrance you are greeted by a formal lavishly appointed foyer (above left and middle) with an office desk and a private study used solely as computer room (above right). As you enter a double hard wood door another smaller foyer serves as antechamber. Upon entering you are immediately taken aback by the floor to ceiling windows which frame a majestic view (facing page, top left and right) of both the private terrace and the bay. To the right of the bedroom is a Hers walk-in closet, dresser and bathroom complete with hydro massage bathtub and fine marble accents (facing page, bottom left). To the left of the bedroom one finds a His bathroom (facing page, bottom center). It is important to note that all marble, granite and stone applications along the bathrooms of the estate as well as the floors were imported from Italy. No expense was spared in appointing the finishes in any of the estate’s levels. Irreproducible Italian antiques frame the commanding living area, which would make any owner proud. Over half of this level is occupied by the formal dinning and living areas, its sole purpose is to make a clear statement; greatness! The fireplace mantel, double height ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, fine electric window dressings, integrated Bang & Olufsen systems and countless accent lights take the occupants by surprise. One expects to see this opulence in fine residences in Europe not Punta del Este. Further down the hallway one finds three additional suites the equally compliment the previous spaces. On this same level to the left of the main entrance, one finds the two powder rooms and through another hallway, an additional elevator, a service staircase, a family dinning room and the master kitchen along with maid quarters and laundry room. One level down the marble staircase finishes into a grotto-like foyer where there is a 648 bottle rack framed within a stone cellar with a total capacity for over 1,000 bottles and to the left the casual dining table with capacity for 38 guests, bar and informal living. Separating the living space (left) and the game room (above) there is a saltwater fish tank. Through a hallway one reaches the spa, the gym and sauna. A fourth guest room and finally a covered four-car garage with chauffeur living quarters. On this level - yet with no access through inside the estate - one finds the housekeeper’s private residence capable of accommodating a family with two rooms, living, bathroom and kitchen accommodation. As one walks out into the one of many terraces overlooking the bay, we find one of two pools in the estate both which are heated. The second winter pool is located one level down and can be accessed via elevator or an internal underground hallway along with the winter indoor playground for children and storage. On this level there is also a summer kitchen in which a double grill and wood burning pizza oven are located. All mechanical rooms are also on this level including redundant systems such as A/C, boilers, water pumps and a diesel reservoir to power the generator and provide hot water. Finally the grounds boast unique features of their own, is not every day that one can play football by the ocean and overlooking a national heritage historic landmark like Casapueblo. The gardens have a children playground, accent lighting and incredible views of the bay all framed by massive natural granite boulders....
