Property Description

A Peaceful Mountain Retreat… just minutes from the city

Features:
Location: El Carmen, Guadalupe, 396 m2 of construction, 14,995 m2 of land, 2 suites, one with city view and master with mountain view in the third floor of the house, 2 bedrooms in main floor of the house, 3 bathrooms.

Description:
Step through the double-wide door of this enchanting home and you will immediately capture what distinguishes it among other fine homes on the market in Costa Rica. Carefully crafted Costa Rican hardwoods abound: solid wood doors, beautiful railings and high wood ceilings, wide trim and baseboards, Almond-wood flooring and free-standing staircase, built-in ceiling to floor cabinetry and bookcases, and the showpiece carved mantle above the fireplace all bespeak warmth and character. Exceptionally large windows and balconies highlight the privileged view of expansive landscaped gardens, verdant surroundings, the twinkling lights of San Jose at sunset, and the ribbon of ocean at the horizon. The open design of the main floor makes for wonderful entertaining, and few homes in Costa Rica offer the craftsmanship and design details of the kitchen, which features Carey-wood custom cabinets, Kohler sink, Bosch dishwasher, Moen faucets, ceramic stovetop, oversized island, and an inviting seating area which opens onto the large covered balcony. The top floor houses bedrooms and the bottom level has a guest apartment/family room with bath and kitchenette, covered porch and separate entrance. Other features include a large garage with work area, and an outbuilding that could easily be adapted for employee living quarters. An imported additive used in all of the concrete structure has made the home exceptionally dry and warm, a truly unusual bonus in humid Costa Rica.

This three-story wood and stone chalet style home (4 bedroom, 3 bath) was built by the present owner in 1997 with the quality materials and loving attention to detail only invested in your own dream home. Designed by an award-winning Costa Rican architect and a U.S. commercial architect, the 4260 ft2 (396 m2) home stands on a 3.7 acre (14.995m2) mountain property, has spring-fed water and a large percentage of level terrain. Found within a 50 acre eco-friendly gated community comprised of large properties, it is located in the foothills on the east side of San Jose. Relatively undiscovered, this area is protected from overdevelopment by zoning laws, has one of the best access roads in San Jose, and is only 15-20 minutes from major shopping areas and the highly acclaimed Marian Baker School. Truly a peaceful mountain retreat, for a discriminating investor.
