Many of the neighbors have
horses, and all of the nearby houses are of similar quality and size. The entrance
is a cement road with gravel and flowers, so that it looks like a country lane.
The first entrance gate has lights, and the second gate has lights and an electric
remote opener.
THE CONSTRUCTION
The house construction is of steel and concrete. There is extra reinforcing
in all of the walls and floors - very solid. The contractor for the house (being
from the USA), was very adamant about the construction meeting all earthquake
safety requirements.
There is a gorgeous retaining
wall behind the house with a hand-built rock wall that borders the upper and
lower levels of the driveway. The floors are finished in imported ceramic tile.
All windows and doors are
solid rare hardwood. All sink, shower and tub fixtures are American made.
There is a full wireless
alarm system throughout the main house and the guest house, with door alarms
and motion detectors, and well as light beams. All wiring is in piping within
the walls, with full polarized outlets everywhere, with ground fault detectors.
The Jacuzzi sits on a cement pad that is outside of the lounge TV room. It has
an ozone protection and cleaning system.
There are 488 square meters
(5,253 square feet) of construction, 394 square meters (4,241 square feet) in the main house, and 94 square meters (1,012 square feet) in the guest house / office, all being located on 8,125 square meters (87,457
square feet, or 2 acres plus) of land. The gardener's house has 90 square
meters (970 square feet) of construction.
THE AREA
The area is known for its fine climate, and quiet country setting. The setting
of the house is so that every room has a spectacular view.
The Capital of San José
is a 20 minute drive. The International Airport is only a 40 min. drive, and
the town of Aserrí is about 10 minutes from the house.
There are over a dozen excellent
restaurants in the Town of Aserrí, and it is well known as an excellent
area to visit for its climate and views. There are grocery stores, hardware
stores, garden nurseries, a gym, and three banks available in Aserrí.
Less
than one-half mile on the main road is one of the best restaurants in the Capital
area, the Mirador Ram Luna. It has been serving wonderful meals for over 30
years in a very upscale country setting.
There are several National
Parks nearby. Volcano Irazu and Volcano Barva are only about a two hour drive
away. Also, Jacó beach is also about a two hour drive.
There are many more things
to tempt you away from sitting on the patio and watching the lights come out
over the city, but quite honestly, there isn't anything that is better.
