(Orosi Valley, Cartago) - A spectacular coffee estate with grand old plantation house
overlooking the entire Orosi Valley. The 10,000-ft2 (930-m2) house has three bedrooms,
two baths, two living rooms (with fireplace), huge kitchen, large terrace all around the
house with playroom, bar, BBQ and much more...all with an amazing view of the Orosi Valley,
with the town of Orosi and a large river below. There is also a swimming pool, soccer field,
lots of parking, etc., surrounded by a working coffee plantation. The property has telephone
(and, therefore, dial-up Internet). Direct TV is available in that area. It is located about
45 minutes to an hour from San José. At an elevation of about 4,300 feet (1,300 meters), it
enjoys a wonderful climate, with average daytime temperatures around 77 degrees...year-round!
The surrounding area is gorgeous, with coffee plantations and forest all around. The general
Orosi Valley is a fantastic area that is rapidly growing in touristic appeal and has numerous
attractions, including the nearby Tapantí National Park (6,000+ acres of gorgeous virgin
rainforest with fantastic birdwatching and home to jaguars, monkeys and other forest creatures),
world-class whitewater rafting and kayaking, two public thermal baths (there are numerous hot
springs around the valley) and a five-star hot spring spa/resort, Lake Cachí and the Cachí Dam,
several cultural landmarks (such as the oldest church still in operation as well as the ruins
of the very first church), quaint traditional towns, and the scenic beauty of a valley that
many guidebooks say is the prettiest in the country. Just a short drive away is the Lankester
Botanical Gardens, the Irazú and Turrialba Volcanos, the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles
in Cartago (home to the country's patron saint and the destination of a yearly pilgrimmage that
attracts over a million people). It's a fantastic area!
Along with the house, you may choose to have 12.5 acres (five hectares) for US$975,000 or
the entire 75 acres (30 hectares) for US$2.2M. Some financing may be available.
