Nestled in a quiet, peaceful valley in the lush mountains of the central valley is this beautiful Spanish Colonial 2,400 sq. ft. home on 2.5 acres.

La Casa de Oro is located within the gated community of Altos de Antigua which is 1.5 hours from San Jose and 30 minutes from Puriscal in the heart of the central valley.

The central pacific coast beaches are also 1.5 hours away or visit any of the three National Parks in the area, Manuel Antonio, Carara or La Cangreja, all close enough to enjoy for day trips.

Built in 2008, this home is well designed and built to a high standard, completed with all the best quality finishes in roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows and furnishings. It is tastefully decorated and comes complete with all contents including appliances, washer/dryer, all furnishings, dishes, cutlery, draperies, towels and bed linens.

La Casa de Oro (The Golden House) has been aptly named for its soft golden hues and the rich look and feel that is evident as you enter this elegant yet comfortable home.

It is a generous two bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom home with a multi-use/office/den that could also be used as a third bedroom. The master bedroom has its own ensuite and walk in closet, with a private view to the lush, green valley below.

With the tropical forest at your doorstep, you are likely to get some unusual visitors, like white faced monkeys, hummingbirds, toucans, butterflies and a variety of delightful mountain birds as you sit on the back terrace enjoying your morning coffee.

There is plenty of room for dinner guests in the large, modern kitchen and dining area, with seating for 8 and room for more. The covered terrace also comes fully outfitted with patio furniture and a BBQ, creating another favourite spot to relax and entertain. Enjoy memorable family get togethers or dinner parties with new friends, as you relax on the private deck, enjoying the gentle ocean breeze as it weaves its way through the valley, all the way from the coast – 1.5 hours away.

With ceiling fans in every room, there is no need for air conditioning. In this mountain location, at an altitude of 3,000 feet, the temperatures stay constant year round at a comfortable 72 – 75 degrees, cooling in the evening just enough to ensure a good night’s sleep.

The large salt water swimming pool and Jacuzzi (private use for owners and guests only) is just steps away, so take a dip each morning or evening and then walk home in less than 5 minutes.

You can also keep in touch with friends and family back home with all the conveniences of being connected through high speed internet, phone service and Satellite TV which are all available for a small monthly fee.

The yard is professionally landscaped with beautiful trees, flowering bushes and grassed areas with an automatic sprinkler system. It has been recently repainted and is immaculate inside and out – it shows like new.

This property has one of the flattest lots within the community and could be sub divided to develop a site for an additional home or even rental units.

As an owner, you can also join into the in-house rental program if you aren’t planning on living in Costa Rica full-time. Altos de Antigua offers a variety of property management services, maintenance, cleaning, gardening, house monitoring, etc. so there is no need to worry about anything, your home will be well looked after, even if you are not able to be in Costa Rica yourself.

Everything you’ll need for day to day living is close by. A new modern hospital, dentist and doctor offices, lawyers, insurance agents, pharmacies, supermarkets, butcher shops, bakeries, restaurants and cafes are also just 30 minutes away in Puriscal.

This home is ready to move into and enjoy! You need only bring your suitcase to move in. You can own this dream vacation/retirement property and join into this sought after community for just US$325,000.
