Casa Caoba, Historical mansion in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic
The three-level residence spans 3,162 square meters on a hillside, featuring mahogany paneling throughout its interior spaces and grand ballrooms.
Built in 1940 under Rafael Trujillo's dictatorship, the mansion served as his preferred countryside residence during his 31-year rule of the Dominican Republic.
The construction incorporates local materials, including precious mahogany, oak, and wood sourced from the San Cristóbal region's Boruga and San Francisco communities.
Located at the end of a steep unpaved road, the site requires careful navigation and often necessitates local guidance to access the premises.
From its elevated position, the mansion offers complete views of San Cristóbal city through strategic architectural placement atop the hill.
