Ciudad Colon (west of San José, just beyond
Escazu and Santa Ana) - A fabulous Spanish Colonial-style estate
occupying an entire city block in a convenient location just a
few blocks from downtown Ciudad Colon (easy walking distance to
everything). The 1-3/4-acre (7,120-m2) property has an excellent
view of the Central Valley and the volcanoes in the background.
It's well suited to a variety of uses, with a 5,400-ft2 (500-m2)
main house, 1,100-ft2 (100-m2) guest house, two 1,400-ft2 (134-m2)
apartments, building lots, etc.
The centerpiece of the property is the huge terrace with large,
heated Infinity pool and adjoining heated Jacuzzi (which cascades
into the swimming pool), all with the scenic view (which is
fantastic both day and night) and surrounded by the manicured
gardens. Step out of the pool and enter the 5,400-ft2 main house,
which overwhelms you with Old World charm. The main house
includes a master suite (with bath, office and walk-in closet),
second bedroom with bath, kitchen, entry hall, living room,
dining room, covered terrace with bar (in addition to the pool
terrace), separate annex with two additional bedrooms (along with
a small kitchen, making it a self-contained structure), maid's
room with bath, two-car garage, etc.
Behind and above the main house is a lovely new structure
containing two separate apartments, both of which have the same
excellent view of the Central Valley and volcanoes (looking over
the main house). Each apartment has two bedrooms, two baths, open
living/dining area, kitchen, terrace and even a separate maid's
room (or work area, laundry room, etc.). There are two covered
parking spaces for each apartment. The apartments have a
wonderful design feature in that there is a connecting door
which, when the units are used separately, remains locked, but
can be opened to make it one large four-bedroom unit, if desired.
The guest house, which was once the caretaker's house, was
recently remodeled and upgraded, and it includes two bedrooms,
two baths, living area, kitchen and laundry, as well as a wrap-around
balcony overlooking the grounds.
The remainder of the property is covered with mature growth,
including a variety of fruit trees (oranges, lemons, bananas,
guavas, etc.), flowers, palm trees, flowering shrubs, etc. The
property has its own well which is used for irrigation. There are
also four nice building lots for future expansion, if desired.
It's a very safe and secure estate, partly because it's in such a
peaceful area, but also because it's fully fenced, and each
structure has its own alarm system. The entrance has an electric
gate, telecom system and a guard's office with toilet (although
the current owner doesn't feel the need for a guard).
It's a fabulous estate which would serve a variety of uses, such
as a magnificent private estate which can accommodate lots of
guests, a corporate retreat, an upscale B&B, a private
residence which produces rental income (US$1,200 for each
apartment, US$800 for the guest house), etc. It's in an area that
is appreciating rapidly, being so close to the soon-to-be-completed
new highway to the coast. It's easy to zip into San José (or
Escazú, etc.) yet it's far enough away from San José for
peaceful living within walking distance of a small town with the
charm of the Costa Rica of old. Asking US$2,000,000
