About this property

This 3-bedroom 2 bathroom ranch home is located in the San Juan de Dios valley in the coastal foothills. It is about 20 minutes from the paved road in Platanillo on well maintained roads. This is an ideal house and property for the buyer that is looking for the peace and quiet of the lesser populated communities of the coastal foothills. There are 360 views looking over the San Juan Valley and the coastal mountains to the back.

The home is made of solid block with steel reinforced concrete beams, ceramic tile floors and hardwood finishes. There is an extended open-air kitchen and dining area and covered parking, patios and walking spaces throughout. This is a very comfortable home that sets up well for the wet season and gets a consistent breeze keeping it cool in the dry months.

There is a large, covered corral with tack room and livestock feed and loading area . This property is already set up for the equestrian. The land is made up of fenced pastures and is currently a working cattle ranch; there are flat land sections that are very suitable for the small-time farmer. 2 strong year around internal springs are located on the property. It is bordered by a public road on one side and is made up of gentle sloping land with several natural sites to build, develop or segregate in the future. It is surrounded by larger ranch tracks of land and is a true end of the road property, only a few property owners beyond this ranch with very little traffic at all.

If you are looking for an area that is quiet but not too far from the coast and it’s amenities this could be the area. This location is for the person that doesn’t mind diving the 20 minutes out to the paved road to get down to the beaches or into town “San Isidro” for shopping and business. This ranch home offers the peace and quiet and return home that you are looking for after a busy day out and about.

about $860 a yearproperty tax (0.25% of the registered value)Based on a full-price sale; less if you buy for less. Homes with a construction value above about $280,000 (adjusted yearly; note: not based on total value, so it does not apply just because the purchase price is over $280,000) also pay Costa Rica’s luxury home tax (impuesto solidario).
