Mountain Farm-Modernist House

This is a big, size 2-story, fully furnished modernist house by a well-known Costa Rican architect, featuring an open floor plan, tropical hardwood floors and high ceilings, wood beams, lots of big windows, and wonderful views of gardens and the city beyond. The lower floor has a big kitchen, 2 dining rooms, many living rooms, bars and terraces facing huge gardens, 2 fireplaces, a laundry room, maids' quarters, a powder room, a big wine cellar, and 2 bedrooms or office spaces with big windows facing the gardens. The upper floor has the master bedroom, an ensuite bathroom, a family room, and 2 more bedrooms sharing a bathroom. There are extra storage rooms, a roofed parking for 3 cars, and more parking spaces outside for guests. The property is located in a quiet rural area, within a family-owned gated community having lots of open gardens, a playground, a tennis court, and access to the family’s dairy farm for everyday hiking. Pets are fully allowed, and there are even horse stables. Nevertheless, the access road is fully paved, and there are many shops and private schools close by (the closest being the Marian Baker School, Lycée Franco Costaricien/French School, the IEM School, and the Methodist School). The closest towns are Sabanilla, San Pedro, and Barrio Escalante, which are all around 20 minutes down the hill; Curridabat and Tres Rios are even closer.  These towns have all the services, shops, and restaurants needed. The city of San Jose is a 20- to 30-minute drive, depending on traffic.
