More about this property
This elegant estate home, meticulously designed by its European owners, showcases exceptional attention to detail throughout.
Nestled on a sprawling 8,062 square meters (2 acres) of land, the property exudes a harmonious blend of cultural influences. The roof design, inspired by feng shui principles, features a unique central cupola that allows natural soft lighting to flood the heart of the home.
The cathedral-style interior is beautifully finished with rich, local Laurel hardwood and anchored by a custom Spanish-style chandelier. Numerous other handcrafted features, reflecting Spanish craftsmanship, further enhance the home’s distinct character.
Most of the kitchen cabinets, counters and dining island are constructed in a local cedar species, harder than western red cedar with warm tones. This wood is tastefully used in the hand made furniture and furnishings and the ensuite walk-in closet that has built in shelving and dressers for all your wardrobe. All furnishings are included with this property.
An octagon theme is present in the custom built dining room table, with a hand made spinning plater in the middle, so you can easily pass the gallo pinto.
Costa Rican bird and flower art is imprinted onto the glass shower enclosures. High end appliances, and all kitchen items are included. A drop down column suspends a large wine glass holder over the custom island, making it easy to serve a glass of your favourite beverage. The master bedroom has a full spacious ensuite bathroom with both a toilet and French bidet, and large jet stream tub and of course, the walk-in closet mentioned above.
The basics of the main house are four large bedrooms, two bathrooms, 190 square meters(2045 square feet) of space, surrounded by covered front and back verandas. A four car carport is beside the house. The house is surrounded with manicured lawns, full size native jungle trees favoured by sloths and many birds and large fruit trees including a very productive Starfruit tree, all secured by large fences and foliage.
A cozy cabina(small guest house) is complete with a full bathroom and kitchenette. The attached rancho(outside covered cooking area), with counters and sink and bar counter make it easy to enjoy cooking in a custom built Spanish style outdoor oven.
The pool is 10 meters(32.8 feet) by 5 meters(16.4 feet), with a high-tech automatic roving vacuum cleaning system. The pool is surrounded by a custom local rock masonry deck, providing lots of space for pool parties and a cute arched bridge takes you to a covered gazebo that sits atop the pool utility room, you will be impressed with these designs.
With plenty of space to construct more guest houses(cabinas) or a pickleball court, your imagination can roam.
