Spectacular views, immaculate landscaping, lovely forest, privacy, nice home, great climate. This is a true paradise overlooking the Orosi Valley! Every inch of the 8.6-acre (3.5-hectare) property was carefully planned out, with nearly every tree and plant being selected and planted by the owner.

There's a nice, relatively flat and open area around the house, with gorgeous landscaping then leading down to the peaceful forest areas along the edges of the property. From the fish pond with trickling waterfalls, to the lovely tropical flowers, to the trails winding through the forest areas, this property gives you a peaceful, tranquil feeling at every turn.

The 2,100-ft2 (200-m2) house has an interesting design and lots of interesting features and finishings (nice stonework, high-quality almond wood, etc.). The front of the house has a dining area and a small kitchen, both with the great views of the valley below. The dining area could be used as a living area since it opens onto a terrace which also has the great view and is adjacent to the fish pond with trickling water (so you will likely want to eat all your meals out there).

The house has three bedrooms and two full baths (one of which also serves as the guest bath). The master bedroom is a good size and has high ceilings. To one side of the room is a sunken Jacuzzi tub that also looks out to the view and has a stone "weeping wall". By the other two bedrooms is a nice family/TV area as well as a sitting area, that opens to another terrace. On one side of that terrace is a nice laundry area.

The house has one phone line (and, therefore, dial-up Internet), Direct TV, hot water throughout, water from a community system, and an alarm (although the owner never uses or needs it).

A walkway from the front of the house leads down to a wonderful covered shelter (with electricity) that also enjoys the excellent view. A short distance from there is a quaint outhouse. A trail then leads down into the forested areas along the edges of the property, with sitting areas along the way, past lovely flowers, leading down to a nice spring, through a jungle-type area, etc.

Its quite incredible how a property this size can have so many different environments. The property has a nice gated entryway, with the driveway going through a forested area, first passing by a nice workers house (better quality than most) and then down to the main house.

At an elevation of about 3,800 feet (1,160 meters), the property enjoys an excellent climate, with the daytime temperatures probably averaging in the mid 70s F YEAR-ROUND!

The general surrounding area consists mostly of farms and weekend retreats. One of the neighbors is a former Presidential candidate! The general Orosi Valley is a fantastic area that is rapidly growing in touristic appeal and has numerous attractions.
