Whether lounging in the sun-soaked deck or enjoying a morning coffee on one of the private patios, visitors are embraced with fresh coastal breezes. This is more than a place to stay—it's a destination where guests can escape, unwind, and immerse themselves in the magic of Encinitas. For prospective owners, the property offers a fantastic opportunity to capitalize on Encinitas' popularity as a premier travel and wellness destination. Its prime location, just minutes from iconic attractions like Moonlight Beach and the Self-Realization Fellowship Gardens, ensures a steady flow of guests seeking an authentic coastal experience. The eco-friendly space emphasizes sustainability, using all-natural, non-toxic materials that are recycled or locally sourced whenever possible. The exterior features sustainable Accoya wood treated with Shou Sugi Ban, a traditional Japanese method that enhances durability and natural fire resistance. Designed as a haven to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature and oneself, the Retreat was brought to life by local green builders under Anke’s vision. Innovative features like sustainable aero barrier glue, spray-in cellulose insulation, and energy-efficient Mitsubishi mini splits minimize energy consumption. Interior wood is reclaimed, naturally treated, or sourced from naturally beetle-killed trees, while the bathrooms, designed by Cecilie Manz for Duravit, elevate the space’s sophistication. The luxury minimilist design draws inspiration from the four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—incorporating organic fabrics, recycled materials, and artisan-made pieces. Highlights include wallpaper made from recycled shoe leather, cork walls, tiles crafted from ocean plastics and handmade mohair throws supporting art therapy for developmentally disabled children. Infused with the warmth of Mexican aesthetics, the space features hammocks, ceramics, rugs, lamps, and coffee makers sourced from artisans in Oaxaca, Ixtapa, Tijuana, and Guadalajara. Twelve Senses exemplifies modern minimalism at its peak, combining luxurious design with sustainable practices. With just four rooms, it showcases how conversions can be both aesthetically stunning and environmentally conscious. |
