General Information• 2 Lots – approximately 1 acre/4,000 sq. m.• 1500 feet from Playa• Awesome Views

– Nature reserve behind property (although not a “protected reserve” – there is a difference in Costa Rica). But no building of any sort is supposed to happen there.

– Lots of Congos and Iguana. Have seen anteaters.• Two buildings and Georgeous Pool

– What I refer to as the main house, is an open floor plan. Aside from kitchen and bath (separated by counter or door, respectively), everything is one big room – enough for storage, king size bed, dining set, “living room area” seating with desk, and other furniture).

– 2nd building has 2 units – the upper level which has been refurbished and the lower level that is being used for storage. Currently, no pictures of second unit, but ½ of it has nice ceramic floor tiling and the bathroom has updated sink and toilet.

– Currently, main building water is municipal water and 2nd building is from large cistern (which has an awesome 360 degree view if someone were to venture climbing up the ladder rungs).

– Pool is larger than most residential pools – the deep end and continuous breezes keep the temperature more modest – patio is large and the ranchero includes sink and brick BBQ

• Many fruit trees: limon, tamarindo, mango, cashew, platino

The Tapia – security fence from the road.

View of Main House from the parking area

The Tapia, large stone and iron steel fence, has three “gateways.” The small one, seen in this photo is a smaller gate. There is a gate to the parking area that is wider and taller than a standard 2 door garage (meaning the parking area can easily accommodate 2 vehicles). The 3rd gate is double doored and opens at the far left of the property (at least from the perspective of this photo). The remainder of the property is fenced off with chain link.

Pool

View of pool ranchero..

View of pool from main house back patio.

The above photo is of one my dogs (that has since died). The idea of this photo is to show the pool steps (5 in total). They allow for easy access. In general, I have one of the largest and deepest pools in the area. When everyone else has a pool with very warm water, this one is still cool. The steps also allow for young children to have a place to play in the water without getting into it over their heads. At the far end (toward the ocean, is a kitchen area with a cement counter/sink, built in brick BBQ (for use with wood and/or charcoal). Pool pump house is below the kitchen area. Ranchero woods are all extreme hardwood (from either Costa Rica or Nicaragua).

Interior of Main House

Main house kitchen – small but functional. This photo needs to be updated to show additional shelving on wall to right of refrigerator. Plus, the storage below counter has been modified to include drawers and doors.

This view is to the left of the “dining area.” It shows where my bed and closets are. To the right is the door from parking to main house.

SW view. Lots of window and awesome view – pool, pacific, trees, open sky, the list could go on forever. As you can see, there is a back patio. It has storage space, including a place for washer and dryer.

This is open area that I use for dining. As you can see, there is now storage rea – which didn’t exist previously. Sorry about the mess, I was packing for a trip. The back patio is on opposite wall of this view.

Interior of Upper Level in 2ndHouseKitchen in upper level of 2nd building 1st bedroom in 2nd building. Queen sized bed with nightstands.

Shelving for clothing, etc, at opposite end of bed.

Kitchen in upper unit has small rerfi-freezer. Unit for storing dishes/ cookware. 4 burner range/oven are an optional inclusion. Electric upgraded to new sockets, separate fuse with 220 current running to the upper level. There is a small “window” (approximately1 .5 feet by 2.5 feet) in each of the bedrooms to the main living area. These allow for much greater cross breeze. As you walk into the door to this unit, there is an open cement floored area that can be used for dining or whatever and the kitchen is to the left.

2nd bedroom upper unit. Sorry, using it for storage right now. Has two bunk beds

VIEWS

Looking Southwest from pool ranchero

A Sunset view from the playa Buckus, my oldest dog, and me at Playa This is a fairly private playa. It is wedged between two large outcroppings that separate Playa Gucalillo and Playa Bajamar. When tide not high, can traverse from one playa to next and there are a lot of wonderful small grottos to explore.
