Property Information

PRICE REDUCED!!!

Ten minutes west out of San Ramon, on good roads, is our fabulous property.  There are stunning views of the Gulf of Nicoya, the Nicoya Penninsula, and the Pacific Ocean.  We have built three homes on the property, including a 2-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home, with a huge workshop which also serves as kitchen/ living room, office, and dining area, and separate laundry area.  This space allows tremendous flexibility, has three over-head garage doors, car port, large deck, excellent over-head lighting (20-48” florescent fixtures, with 3 bulbs each, with separate switching to allow multiple levels of light), more than 425 glass blocks, huge sliding windows, lots of power, many exterior & interior receptacles, and 3 separate 220 volt circuits.  There is well-placed outdoor lighting, including both 110 and 12 volt systems, with timers. 

The larger bedroom includes a small kitchenette with disposal, under counter frig, guanacaste custom-built cabinets, an oversized tub/shower with glass block and sliding door, floor-to-ceiling ceramic tile, ceiling fan, large sliding windows and vaulted “tablilla” (tongue and grooved wood ceiling). 

The second bedroom is roomy, with glass block, private bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile,  walk-in shower, storage, and ceiling fan.

 

Our home is two years young, and the cabins were completed last July.  The quality of the construction is truly exceptional.  The property will be sold as a “turn-key” operation including the nearly brand-new beds, furnishings, etc.  

 

 

There are two cabins-- a one bedroom (“Willy’s Cabin) and a two bedroom (“The Palm Cabin”). Both cabins are fully furnished, with custom-built hardwood (“Balsamo”) cabinets and granite counter tops.  Willy’s cabin has an extra long tub/shower, while the Palm cabin has two walk-in, glass paneled showers.  All the fixtures are American Standard.  The “tablilla” (wood ceilings), are beautifully crafted and finished in marine varnish.  Both cabins have lovely lighting, utilizing low wattage flourescent and LED bulbs.  They  are tiled in porcelan ceramic tile, have custom-made draperies, excellent storage, huge windows, extra-large decks and great views.  Both cabins (and our home) have tankless, on-demand propane water heaters, imported from the US, and are highly efficent units.  (As propane is subsidised here, it is much more economical to use propane whenever possible, as opposed to electricity.)

 

Each of the three homes has a stand-alone, wireless alarm system, with key fobs and external sirens.

 

There is a large “plantel” or building site, large enough to accomodate a very large home.  water and power are “right there”. It is the premier building spot on the property.

 

The property has been mindfully planned, with excellent drainage, 6 electric meters, and underground service to each of the three homes. There are extensive irrigation systems, including pop-up zones for grass, to keep it nice and green during the dry season.

 

The landscaping is also extensive, including fruit trees, wtih multiple varieties of oranges, limes, grapefruit, pineapple, avocado and  peach), tropical gardens, a large variety of young palm trees, and ground covers. We have planted over 450 trees on the land, which was used formerly for pasture.  Though the trees are young, they will reforest the land in a significant way, bringing back more of the significant variety of native birds that enjoy the forests within and adjacent to our property. there is a planted, grass area for badmitton, croquet, boche ball or other “court” games.

 

San Ramon is a lovely little agricultural town.  All services and materials are available here.   We have high-speed internet, and very good cell phone reception.  Our property is at 4,000’.  We have no need for either air conditioning or heating.  We are “environmentally minded”, though we do have an electrically-heated hot tub, four refrigerators, one with an ice-maker, and an electric clothes dryer. Our temperatures range from about 80 during the day, to 60 at night, year round.  It is delightful. There is a relatively large population of “gringos” in the surrounding area.  We share meals and conversation.  Some speak Spanish, some do not.  Those that do not seem to get along just fine, though we recommend learning the language, allowing you the opportunity to enjoy the “Tico” culture even more.

 

 

Though not immenent, we will need to return to the US for family health reasons, sometime within the next year.  It has been with a great passion and attention to detail, that we’ve invested over three years of our lives to the building of this beautiful place.

 

Serious inquiries only, please.
