5 Br Mountain View House, Minutes From Town

Description

Located in a quiet safe neighborhood, only minutes from downtown San Isidro de el General, this recently renovated 5 br, 5 bath house offers comfort, space, privacy and has much to offer either as a private residence or a B&B. The 1.75 acre lot has a perimeter wall for privacy, plenty of green space and a variety of mature fruit trees. There is a beautiful view of the Talamanca mountain range and Cerro Chirripo, the highest point in the country.

The spacious house includes many nice updates, including a fully equipped kitchen, and expansive patio. You can pick fruit from one of the trees on the property and enjoy fresh juice while seated on the shaded patio. There is covered parking for 5 cars, and also a well for an additional water source to complement the municipal water. There is ample space for additional construction and a pool – which could be filled and maintained with the well water.

The close-by city of San Isidro de el General offers all necessary services, such as medical, dental, legal, mechanical as well as bilingual schools, and is only an hour from the beautiful beaches of the Central and Southern Pacific coast. As the largest city and hub of the Southern Zone of Costa Rica, it is the commercial center of the region and has a bustling downtown during the day, with town quieting down by early evening. The capital of San Jose is 3 hours away over the scenic Cerro del Muerte.

San Isidro de el General features a delightful climate, with plenty of sunshine during the day and cool and mild nights. During the green season the cooling afternoon showers keep everything green and lush, while the mornings and early afternoons are generally sunny. Outdoor activities such as cycling and hiking are popular here. Just south of downtown is a sports complex that features a running track, covered basketball courts, outdoor and indoor soccer, tennis courts and a 6 lane 25 meter swimming pool.

While this area has seen the arrival of expats over the years, because it is a great area to either relocate or retire to, it still maintains a friendly tipico Costa Rica vibe. This is a property that would be ideal either as a private residence or as a B&B.
