Costa Rica Villa, San Rafael Arriba, San José

I just finished uploading this House for sale, Costa Rica Villa, San Rafael Arriba, San José

The grand estate consists of two main buildings, connected to one another by a bridge, as well as a separate guest house, Rancho, a garden shed, a swimming-pool, a store house and a carport. The unique, exposed location is one of the best in Costa Rica with views over the high-lying valley, San José as well as the six volcanos behind. Built in 1995, the estate was completely renovated between 2006 and 2008. Exclusive extras include a large pool, Rancho with pool bar, an additional kitchen with a barbecue, a pond, several small streams with little waterfalls, several chimneys, a jacuzzi, a wine-cellar and a private 2-hole Golf training course. The estate is located just above the small village San Rafael Arriba near Aserri at a height of approx. 4,360 ft, in a fantastic panoramic location which cannot be blocked. With an average of more than 320 sunny days per year the climate in San Rafael Arriba is very pleasant; throughout the year the temperatures range from 77ºF during the day and 64ºF at night making air conditioning is unnecessary. The estate is the last piece of land on a mountain ridge, the asphalt road ends at the gate entrance. Thereafter you can only find mountains, streams and tropical forest. Completely surrounded by tropical forest and located in an extremely quiet area. The surrounding is extremely secure but still only 15min away from the centre of San José.
