Ranch style home with large covered patio on front and back. Best botanical garden anywhere. Crystal clear river with step down cascades.

Simple Elegance abounds with this 2 bedroom & 2 bath split bedroom wheelchair accessible home with lush-majestic gardens on 17230 meters square (approximately 4 acres). The botanical garden surrounding the house and leading to the river is the envy of any avid gardener. The gardener keeps up the grounds so well. There are several citrus fruit trees in the gardens as well as bananas and other fruit.

This ranch-style home, built in 2009, has 4400 sq ft under roof which includes 2 patios, and an oversized garage. Impressive Stone entrance with sliding iron gate leads to this private setting enhanced by the sound of the rushing crystal clear river just a few yards from this home - easy access to the river for a quick dip too.

Home features an enormous great room with dining area and windows and doors of glass leading to the patios both front and back. High ceilings with really cool iron beams, built-in entertainment center/art gallery & bookcase makes this an in-door paradise, and there is even a nook for a small office in the great room area to keep you in the midst of everything.

There is another office nook with shelving and drawers plus the in-house laundry room with even more storage down the hall from the master suite.

Master suite has large walk-in closet, unique master bath with lots of native rock work.

Huge master suite on one end of the house and large "grandchildren's” suite (or guest room) on the other end. Each bedroom has an outside entrance through glass and wood accordion doors from the back patio.

The guest bedroom can handle bunk beds, twin beds, or even a King Size bed. Full bath next to the guest bedroom.

The chefs are going to love this large kitchen, with a native rock eat-at-bar for 6 that surrounds one side of the kitchen. You'll find a built in gas cook-top and electric oven, a very generous walk-in pantry, a double sink on one side of the kitchen and a single sink on the other. Nice pantry storage room just off the kitchen.

This property is gently sloping so it is good for building another house or two, and gardening for flowers or food is easy.

Another plus making this home so appealing is that it is down in a small valley and you truly feel hugged by the tropical greenery that surrounds you. The views are everywhere, in the house or on the patio, of the surrounding mountains, and on the back patio your eyes can feast on the white cliffs with a very high waterfall to your left or the year round river to your right. The solitude is amazing, and yet there are a bus stop and trout restaurant within an 8 minute walk, and a 5 star restaurant within a 25 minute walk.

To see is to appreciate this unique magical setting with home and gently curving river. Come feel the magic and know you've found your slice of Costa Rica paradise.
