Everything is landscaped, with flowers and fruit trees. There are oranges, macadamia, bananas, and lemons. Next to the Jacuzzi there is a Japanese garden with a fish pond and waterfall.

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 425 square meters (4,575 square feet) of construction, located on 7,841.13 square meters (84,401 square feet, or almost 2 acres) of land. The gardener's house has 70 square meters (753 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 15 minute drive. The International Airport is only a 40 min. drive, and the town of Aserrí is about 5 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.
