About this property

Costa Rica's Countryside Oasis: Serene Green Haven. Breakfast included

An oasis of tranquility and natural beauty. Surrounded by lush nature, it is the perfect place to disconnect and enjoy the green surroundings, sunsets, and distant views of the Pacific Ocean. The colonial-style house, with fine finishes, features outdoor spaces including a pool, jacuzzi, firepit, and multiple terraces where you can savor unforgettable days. Strategically located 62 km from Juan Santamaria Airport and 25 km from the coast. Breakfast included.

The space
Elegantly adorned and meticulously furnished, this three-level residence is strategically positioned on an elevated section of the property, offering a refreshing climate and sweeping vistas of the Pacific Ocean (weather permitting) , mountains, and plains.
The main level (1) boasts an open-concept layout seamlessly blending the kitchen, breakfast area, main dining room, and living room, complete with a television. An indoor fountain with water and exotic plants creates a serene ambiance, akin to the soothing sound of rain when activated. This space leads to a natural wood deck with bamboo and thatched roofs, surrounded by greenery, featuring a wooden table for delightful breakfasts. Additionally, on this level, there's a second terrace with a lounge and dining area, connecting to an inspiring spot beneath a grand tree for casual lunches. This level also encompasses one bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, and a laundry area.
On level 2, you'll discover two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open terrace for unwinding and stargazing.
At ground level (or gardens), a pristine 5x10-meter "infinity" pool is complemented by a ranch or pergola with a natural thatched roof for relaxation and socializing. The pool is surrounded by sun loungers and flowers, creating an invigorating and laid-back atmosphere. Adjacent to it, find an 8-person jacuzzi and an area with two hammocks for naps or reading. A firepit area for enjoying summer nights and a full bathroom enhance your convenience.

The expansive 10,000-square-meter property invites exploration of lush plants, fruit trees, and the soothing sounds of nature. At the opposite end, near the entrance, a small secondary house accommodates maintenance staff, ensuring the technical aspects related to the house are well-functioning.

Idyllic Oasis of Serenity
The property is incredible with everything you need. The description when booking doesn’t do it justice Marcella makes sure everything is done properly and checking in and out is a breeze. The place is incredible and the perfect spot for me to relax and do some walking and reading after a few days of working hard over by Jaco I would definitely return next time I’m out there but make sure I give myself longer than a few days
