Tucked between the Chucuyo and Chimirol Rivers at around 3000 feet in elevation, our featured home enjoys year-round spring-like temperatures.
It is both remote and private as well as within 30 minutes of a major city and 15 minutes from a provincial town with all the basic amenities.
The home sits on of 1.45 hectares (3.6 acres) of titled land and is perched on a terrace overlooking both rivers, with 360-degree mountain views. No need for air conditioning here. Light and breezy most of the time, punctuated by heavy winter rains and streaming summer sun.
The sprawling 6,200 square-foot turnkey home is divided between a well-anointed first floor living area with three br / three ba, master with en suite bathroom, living room and combined kitchen and dining area, plus outdoor decks, and a large concrete basement, served with a covered parking area separate from the house. Large windows, fine wood accents, finish details and a well-anointed kitchen, contemporary cabinetry, replete with furnishings.
The backyard abuts the rushing Cucuyo River. Check out the river recreation area in stone and your own private swimming pool, great for cookouts and lawn parties.
Look for toucans, hummingbirds, trogons, songbirds, sloths, anteaters, monkeys, drawn to the fruit trees and orchards in the river valley.
Native secondary and primary trees scurry up pristine mountain slopes into the foraging grounds of peccaries and tapirs and the lair of the jaguar.
We are just a short drive from the entrance to Chirripó National Park, home to Costa Rica’s highest peak and one of its most iconic hiking destinations. The Herradura hot springs are just up the road from us. As befits a mountain whose name translates from the Cabécar as "Mother of all Waters," expect to see plenty of waterfalls, streams, rivers, springs, swimming holes and 4WD rural roads that beg exploration full immersion into a thousand shades of green.
