This is country living at its best and a horse lovers dream! This incredibly beautiful property is one of the best available in the country for those who breed horses or just enjoy having their own horses. This is a great property with its location close to the Central Pacific and at the same time close to Escazu (15 minutes drive) for many great restaurants, shops and schools. The airport is at only 20 minutes, San Jose at 25 min, and 4 min away from the two main highways for easy access. This beautiful property is totally fenced and offers main home, caretaker's home, guest house, 9 stables with corral, PLUS pool and rancho for entertainment. The older 6,800 sq.ft. home has incredibly good character and was designed with the looks of a plantation home but built with the materials of a city home. All the walls throughout the home are of poured concrete and with huge windows on every side of it, even though the beautiful wrap around porch takes a way some of the light, the living areas are very well ventilated and light and bright. The wrap around porch offers all the outdoor living you would want in the warmer temperatures of La Garita in Alajuela, which NASA says is the best climate in the world. The living room offers lots of open space and offers a cozy fire place for the cooler December and January nights. The dining room is open to the rest of the social areas and next to the kitchen and also offers plenty of space to invite 20 guests at the time if needed. The kitchen offers real wood cabinetry and pantry and owners will soon install a nice black granite counter top to replace the old white tile you can see in the pictures. A large wine cellar, very unusual for Costa Rica, where you could put all your glass jars of marmalade if you plan to use all the fruit on the property instead of letting it go to waste. The large 2-car garage with plenty of storage, a laundry area, the electrical controls for the well and water back up are in a separate but attached part of the home. A large hard wood stairwell leads you to the second floor where two master suites, each with own bathroom and large balcony and an office are located. On the third floor you'll find a large loft for all the stuff you don't really need. At the same time, this loft keeps the heat up which in turn keeps the house cool at all times, even in the warmer Alajuela temperatures. The pool and rancho are in the back of the main house.
