About this property

This house is one of a kind with its 2 swimming pools and amazing waterslide!!.  It is located right on the paved road just outside of Platanillo, so access is amazing and commercial exposure is equally great.  The property consists of 2 titled lots.  One is 2.7 acres with the main house and the second one is 0.86 acres with a caretaker house.  There is also a neighboring parcel available which would make the property perfect for a large retreat center with this home being the main gathering place.  Another option would be to build a family compound or more rental homes on the neighboring property.

The house is actually a duplex. Upstairs is a full 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a large kitchen, living room, and dining room. It also has a large covered deck and it looks down on the lower pool but opens up to the upper pool. The upper pool has a swim up bar and a large covered rancho with a BBQ area and outdoor kitchen. Downstairs is another self contained home with 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, full kitchen and living room, and another large covered deck right on the main pool.

The pool is the main attraction. It is one of a kind in Costa Rica. The upper pool is the size of most people’s main pools with it’s swim up bar plus shallow lounge area. Then the amazing waterslide brings you to the huge lower pool which is 12 feet deep in the deep end. On the lower level, there is also a bar area.

The property has been very well cared for and is full of mature fruit trees including Mango, Limes, Oranges, Bananas, Momones, Star Fruit, and many many more. Part of the property goes down a valley into the jungle and down to a creek. There is plenty of wildlife all over the property. The western mountain views and small ocean view are amazing and the sunsets are incredible. The property also faces east and has amazing sun rises and you can also see Diamante Falls, a 1200 ft tall waterfall.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a home with rental history and plenty of room to expand into whatever you can imagine. The home is being sold fully furnished. When you come to see the home make sure you bring your bathing suit!!!!
