Between Paraíso and Orosi (Cartago) -
A wonderful 5.4-acre (2.2-hectare) estate with a fantastic view to the Orosi Valley. On a mid-level of
the property is an almost new, roughly 1,500-ft2 house with three bedrooms, two baths, living room area
with fireplace, dining area, and kitchen. The master bedroom has its own bath. There is also a huge
garage (space for six cars, workshop, storage, etc.).
The lower part of the property has a lot of flat area that would be great for gardening, horses
or other activities. Further down, the property borders a small stream, with some forested area along it.
The top part is cleared and flat, ready for the home of your dreams, with an even better view than
the area where the house is currently located. On that upper part is a small cabina (with open area,
small kitchen area and a bath), which could be used as a guest house, worker's house or artist's
studio/workshop, etc. There is a storage shed (which could be made into worker's quarters).
The property would make an awesome private estate or family compound (with several other nice
building sites). The view is truly stunning, with a view to Orosi, the surrounding mountains
and even the Irazú Volcano. The area is excellent, with a very peaceful, back-to-nature feel.
The neighbors are great (including one of the country's soccer stars as well as a doctor, etc.).
And the climate is superb, with a Spring-like climate...year-round (you likely won't need heat or
air-conditioning).
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), 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 pilgrimage that
attracts over a million people). It's a fantastic area! USD$350,000 (Note: sale
pending - projected for August 2008 - but the seller can take backup offers)
