Waterfall Country Home and Rental House

More about this property

This house is a departure from the modern, very clean, contemporary lines that we commonly see in our house offerings here. There is a lot of wood in this home. The floor of the main house is wood. The walls are either of wood, or of painted concrete. The design allows lots of natural light in. One feels very much at home in this well constructed, comfy cabin. The grounds are quite large and lean towards those who would like to generate much of their own food on their property. There are abundant fruit trees as well as resources for cultivation of whatever fruits and vegetables one may want. There is a very nice chicken coup as well as some large compost bins. Composting works very fast here in Costa Rica. There are wonderful sitting areas sprinkled around the property so you can design where you want to be at various times of the day to take full advantage of the fact that you are living in the gorgeous nature of Costa Rica. Walk down the well maintained trail to the waterfalls and pools that border the property. This waterfall and pool are worth the price of the property. The houses and grounds are thrown in as a bonus. The guest house is nearly all recently built. The European roots of the seller show in the design and quality of the construction. Downstairs is the kitchen and a bathroom, and the upstairs is comprised of 2 bedrooms and an open air deck that easily amplify the bedding capacity of the property. The location is about 8 minutes to Uvita's town center and the access is a well maintained community road. The availability of houses in this area is extremely low, so its availability, coupled with the size and quality of the property all sum up to where it can easily be deemed "a find".
