Tárcoles, Tárcoles, Garabito, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Enjoy spectacular sunsets overlooking Costa Rica's Pacific Ocean and the mountains of Punta Leona near Jaco Beach in this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home with oversized garage, plunge pool-spa and built in BBQ area. Your private rainforest retreat is located in the gated Eco-Community of Sueño Escondido bordering Carara National Park and the Tarcoles River for hiking, biking, horseback riding and fishing. Relax on your tiled outdoor covered patio that runs the entire length of the house surrounded by nature.
This gorgeous property extends over 5,058 sq meters (about 1.5 acres) completely fenced in with fruit trees (bananas, mangoes, limes, pineapples, coconuts, dragon fruit), seasonal vegetables, almond and guanacaste trees and flowers. Watch scarlet macaws, parrots and toucans fly into 50-ft trees as butterflies and hummingbirds hover over your hilltop garden. Catch a family of monkeys at play in the trees along your driveway or go for a walk up the road to neighboring horse or cattle ranches. Enjoy "al fresco" dining, entertain friends and family, reset to the sounds of nature and breathtaking ocean and mountain views. It is an ideal home to enjoy the relaxed "pura vida" vibe of Costa Rica yet be close to everything. This custom, solid concrete home is sold completely equipped and furnished. It features an open, split-bedroom floor plan, eat-in kitchen with stainless steel GE appliances, marble-look tile floors throughout (even in the garage) and huge sliders that bring ocean views and nature into every room. The ample principal bedroom opens onto the spa-pool deck and covered patio with hanging hammock chairs - a perfect spot for morning coffee or yoga. The dressing room with floor-to-ceiling closets and built-in armoire also has access to the spa deck. The en suite bath is styled like a grotto with huge rain shower, floating vanity, European sink and fixtures. The elegant great room and well-equipped chef's kitchen with eat-at island, tons of storage and amazing ocean views leads into the 2nd guest bath and 2nd bedroom/home office also overlooking the ocean. The laundry room with washer/dryer, utility sink & pantry/storage opens to an oversized garage completely finished and tiled. The 3rd bed + bath suite with its own separate entry and outdoor porch sitting area is great for hosting family or friends and can provide extra income on the vacation rental market. Surrounded by nature yet centrally located, this home is just 10 minutes to grocery stores and restaurants on Route 34-the Costanera Sur, just 20 minutes more to the Pacific Coast beaches and a half hour from los Sueños Marina.
