7-Room "Ranch-Style" Home In 10,000 Sq Mts Of Gardens

Asking Price: $290,000 USD

DESCRIPTION:
This beautiful 2.4 acre home and garden in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica is 130 kms from San Jose and 3 kms from the centre of San Isidro (Perez Zeledon) - a prosperous community.

Perched above barrios Morazan-Quebradas, LA QUINTA OLMECA enjoys outstanding mountain and valley views and an ideal climate. At 850 meters altitude, cool breezes drift down from the Cerro de la Muerte and assure its average temperature range of 80F at midday to 60F at night (15-25C) so air-conditioning is redundant. The air is fresh and clean and the earth is fertile and chemical-free.

The Pacific coast highway at Playa Dominical is 20 miles West on Rte 22, and Costa Rica's Southern Zone is accessed all along Rte 2 (The Interamerican Highway), not 5 minutes from the gate.

Don't miss this opportunity to own an exceptional home in a veritable botanical garden, in a great and friendly little town. The owner is in the process of a career transfer that has changed his interests and, as a result, this incredible offer includes: - A large ranch-style 7-room concrete-block house – with 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms.

The house is finished with precious hardwoods, attractive, easy-to-clean floor tiles, art-deco plaster ceilings and secure and screened bitter cedar windows and doors. A hardwood overhang (Melina) wraps the house as do concrete sidewalks. There is an excellent roof with efficient eaves and good water drainage. Ideal in the green season, its front entrance is a covered a 600 sq ft patio-carport, with a Melina ceiling set with regular and automatic lights.

Sitting on a hill at the back of the lot, the house enjoys a great view of the gardens below, and the valley and mountains beyond. One hectare of "prime location" property (10,000 square metres) - including 25 kinds of fruit tree and dozens of exotic plant and flower species (see list @ ). Lawns around the house are hedged with plants that control insects and pests; there is a water source, a small creek and several large potential construction sites on the lot, and one next to the house is ready to receive 3-4 extra bedrooms).

Designed a large rectangle, imagine it divided into thirds: Overlooking the gardens via large, screened windows, a 600 sq ft Florida room is the main living-dining area. It has doors to both the front and back of the house. It also has secure double-doors that lead into the large kitchen-dinette area (360 sq ft).

In the kitchen, an outside door leads to the laundry room and from there to the back of the house -while a curved hallway leads to the middle third of the house and a first full bathroom. In that part, the front door opens under a 600 sq mt covered patio-carport. Also, there is sunken (6 inch) living-room-sitting area now used as an office.

Down a hallway, the back third of the house has 3-bedrooms and the largest bathroom.

The master bedroom is quite large and has a king-sized bed, bamboo chest and bookcase. There is a large bamboo armoire with drawer, end tables by the headboard and two large windows.

Bedroom # 2 has a double bed and bamboo armoire and chest, as does bedroom #3 now with a single bed. Each has a large, secured, screened and glassed-in window.

There is a large bathroom with a tiled-in bathtub, a shower and hot water on demand. There is also an eco-flush commode, a stainless steel grab rail, a tiled vanity, mirror and sink.

Behind the house, a concrete bodega (storage shed) has electricity, a coldwater sink and potting bench.

At the end of a cul-de-sac off a main road, the property is kept private with a “porton” that features an automated gate-opener, a wireless intercom system and motion detector lights. A dusk-to-dawn automated street lamp illuminates the driveway. All electric and phone cables are hidden underground.

In addition to the fully titled property and house, the SALE includes:

• A legal corporation (Sociedad Anonima) to avoid registration delays, certain legal costs and a percent of taxes on the property transfer ;
• All property taxes for the current fiscal period are paid;
• Full coverage house insurance has been paid for one year (2007-2008);
• ICE phone line with high-speed Internet access;
• ICE electric meter at the property line by the gate;
• The house tap-water comes from a pure mountain source that has an AyA sanctioned rural management board.
