Chalet Buena Vista, A Mountain Dream House in Tropical Costa Rica

Do you dream of a million dollar setting with million dollar views at a great price? A mountain paradise and place where alpine beauty and nature abound? No noises, no traffic, only the sound of singing birds, evergreens and cows grazing. Chalet Buena Vista is a beautiful country home located above the delightful town of San Rafael, Heredia, Costa Rica…a chalet that might very well be seen in St. Moritz or Zermatt. Only 30 minutes from the excitement of the City of San Jose and the airport, but far enough away to live the country life.

Situated in the mountains on almost two acres in a small gated community, this home offers astounding views of the Central Valley. Spacious, open floor plan and vaulted ceiling welcomes you. Curl up by a fire or lounge together on the deck and let the sounds of nature fuel the romantic flames of love. Take a walk through the beautiful tropical garden. Enchantment and serenity abound. And temperatures are spring-like year round; no heat or air conditioning needed!

Built with traditional local woods and stone, the Chalet’s main level offers a spacious great room with large windows facing south, a log stone fireplace and custom made chandelier; an open kitchen with tile and granite, all wood cabinets, dishwasher; and dining room with the same spellbinding views. On this same floor there are two bedrooms and one bathroom; plus a huge tiled deck with 180 degree valley and mountain views.

From the enormous deck you can enter a separate office with built in furniture, windows circling round and the same incredible panorama; this is ideal for a home office. Most specially there is a separate room with an eight person all-tile Jacuzzi where you can settle back, enjoy a glass of wine and inhale the whole valley.

Inside above the great room is the master suite with its own loft; stretch out, relax, read or take a nap while the panorama captures you. The huge bath adjoining features hand made wrought ironwork and fine cedar cabinetry. The bedroom with his and her closets and built-in hand crafted furniture affords the owners the opportunity to go to sleep every night overlooking the sparkling valley lights.

The ground floor comprises a large guest room with bathroom, sliding glass doors, access to a huge terrace and the same astounding views. Off the terrace there is an exercise room and a gardening room. There is also a large tiled laundry room with lots of workspace, a big pantry, tiled two car garage, storage areas, and a workshop or maid’s room.

The newly built guesthouse is entirely made of cypress wood, inside and out, tile floor and bamboo ceiling. It has a living-bedroom, kitchenette, dining area, full bath, big windows and a terrace overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds with great views of the mountains and valley below.
