This year the Owner are moving to our finca not far from this estate where
he can enjoy our horses (there is also a piece for sale, simply ask us).
For this reason we would like to sell our estate - with all furnishings as
new.
The grand estate of 7000 sqm (approx. 1.73 acres) land consists of two main
buildings, connected to one another by a bridge, as well as a separate
guest house, two separate guest apartments, a Rancho, a garden shed, a
swimming-pool, a store house and a carport.
The unique, exposed location is one of the best in Costa Rica: from the
estate you have an expansive view over the whole High Valley including
Costa Rica's capital city San José. Built in 1995, the estate was
completely renovated between 2006 and 2009 with 111,000 hours’ labour. For
the living space of about 750 sqm (approx. 8,100 sq ft) authentic, natural
materials were used.
The estate provides exclusive extras which fulfil all your dreams and
wishes: a large pool, Rancho with pool bar, an additional kitchen with a
barbecue, a pond, several small streams with little waterfalls, several
chimneys. Jacuzzi, wine-cellar and a private 2-hole Golf training course.
Read on below for a more detailed description of the estate and the
furnishings. 
Approach
The estate is located just above the small village of San Rafael Arriba
near Aserri at a height of exactly 1330m (approx. 4,360 ft), in a fantastic
panoramic location which cannot be blocked. The small place Aserri, only 1
mile away, even has the popular panoramic-view-symbol on maps. An average
of more than 320 sunny days per year are waiting for you. By the way, the
climate in San Rafael Arriba is very pleasant. Throughout the year the
temperatures are about 80ºF during the day and go down to 65ºF at nights so
that air conditioning is unnecessary.
The estate is the last piece of land on a mountain ridge, the asphalt road
ends at the gate entrance. Thereafter you can only find mountains, streams
and tropical forest, pure nature! Another advantage is the water-supply
with pure drinking water via own spring. By the way, the nearest cascade is
only 5m away from the pool on the estate.
The neighbours are as exclusive as the house: the former mayor of
Desamparados and his son (a member of Costa Rica’s Parliament), a well-
known football coach, members of an embassy etc. http://www.costa-rica-
