<\/p>\n

What began as a simple hacienda with space for a few horses has become the most expensive home<\/a> in Puerto Rico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About an hour outside of the capital city of San Juan<\/a>, the sumptuous spread known as Hacienda Illusion is now on the market for $48 million. For a sense of the luxury market on Puerto Rico, there are only a couple of dozen homes currently for sale priced at over $10 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe original owner was a horse enthusiast. He decided he wanted to have a place to have his horses and his friends over,\u201d says listing agent Gerald Kleis<\/strong>, with The Realty Group PR. \u201cHe started buying properties, and one thing led to another.\u201d<\/p>\n

The enormous 277-acre estate is located near Naguabo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is in the east side of Puerto Rico, and you have views toward the west of the El Yunque National Rainforest, and then you also have views to Vieques<\/a> and the Caribbean Sea to the east,\u201d Kleis says.<\/p>\n

The 8,800-square-foot home has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. It was completed in 2012 and offers custom features and high-end finishes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe house is spectacular. You see a lot of woodwork, marble, and high ceilings,\u201d Kleis says. \u201cIt has the influence of a Spanish or California type of elegant ranch house.\u201d<\/p>\n

The main bedroom comes with large closets and a spa bath.<\/p>\n

Outdoor space<\/p>\n

Designed for entertaining large crowds, there are covered terraces, an outdoor kitchen, a pool, and a hot tub.<\/p>\n

Horse stables and other equestrian facilities were in place prior to the home\u2019s construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are 60 stables, an indoor training area, and a building for large activities,\u201d Kleis explains.<\/p>\n

A large conference room alongside the horse facilities was a place for the owner to host company meetings and social functions.<\/p>\n

Grassy areas connect the stables and other horse buildings, and the rooftops also function as glorious terraces.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a \u2018wow\u2019 property. It\u2019s not common to see something like this, much less in Puerto Rico,\u201d Kleis says. The perfect buyer \u201cis a horse lover\u2014or somebody who wants to be left alone and have peace and quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The property is set away from the island\u2019s heavily populated areas, and a security gate ensures even more privacy.<\/p>\n

Solar panels, a backup generator, and a water cistern are installed\u2014they are typical features for high-end homes on the island.<\/p>\n

There are also two smaller houses on the property, which Kleis says are perfect for caretakers.<\/p>\n

Prospective buyers will need to provide proof of funds, according to Kleis. The property is not open to any looky-loos who want a peek at high-end living in the commonwealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fun property to show, but it\u2019s not for everyone,\u201d says Kleis.<\/p>\n
