Location: Ciudad Cortes, Costa Rica
This beautiful home is nestled on the mountain 20 minutes south of Ojochal and 15 minutes north of Palmar. Custom built in 2013, it is clean, contemporary and cozy, with colors and decor elements that blend together to create an ambiance of understated elegance. Set on over an acre of secondary jungle, there is a substantial mature garden, with paths, seating and greenhouse areas and plenty of space for vegetables. This park-like property is beautifully maintained throughout.
The kitchen and living room meld together with a splash of blue and the high-end custom-built hardwood cabinets. If you’re one who likes to cook and entertain, this open floor plan will suit you. Take note of the stainless steel appliances, attractive tile kitchen backsplash, high-quality lighting fixtures. The vaulted ceilings add the perfect element of design and livability to the Costa Rica tropics, allowing the breeze to easily traverse the home’s living area, day and night. The fully screened porch, accessible from the spacious living room, is the ultimate space to sip a cup of coffee (or your beverage of choice) while overlooking the lively, secondary jungle and ocean below. At nearly 2,000 ft elevation the air is fresh and pleasant temperature.
Other areas of this home continue to impress as you enter the two main floor bedrooms off the hallway. The clean, cozy, contemporary style is carried throughout these spaces. Both bedrooms include sizable closets, A/C units and ceiling fans to keep you and your guests comfy. The guest room, currently an office, has an ensuite bathroom. The master bedroom features an ocean view, and a walk-in closet in addition to built-in wall closets – plenty of storage! The large main bathroom is a step away from the master, featuring double sinks and an amazing outdoor shower with ocean and jungle view. The outdoor shower is the perfect place to bathe dogs also, with a gate from the side yard providing access.
Downstairs, the same fantastic view visible from the upstairs master bedroom is also seen from the guest suite. The spacious bedroom with ensuite bathroom has a separate entrance providing privacy for all. This same level includes a spacious workshop and storage room, perfect location to secure your garden and maintenance tools.
