Property Description:

Ciudad Colon (West-side San Jose) - A magnificent Spanish Colonial-style estate on 1-3/4 acres of manicured grounds, occupying an entire city block, just a few blocks from the very center of town yet with the feeling you're in the countryside. The estate features a main house (with Infinity pool), two townhouse-type units, and a guest house.

The 5,400-ft2 (500-m2) main house has four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, kitchen, living room, dining room and TV room and huge terrace by the heated Infinity swimming pool and Jacuzzi. The master bedroom (which currently combines two bedrooms) has its own sitting area/office, walk-in closet, bath (with marble tub with jets and separate shower), and its own access to the terrace. The other bedrooms (two bedrooms with a shared bath) are located in a separate annex of the house, yielding plenty of privacy for everyone. There is also another office area in that annex. And that area opens onto a private back terrace with wet bar (great for entertaining or dining). There is also a maids room with bath on a lower level. The house is spacious, well-designed and has lots of personality. But you will likely spend most of your time out on the terrace by the pool, from where you may enjoy the lovely views of the valley and mountains.

Located behind and above the main house are two twin, connected apartments. Each one has about 1,100 ft2 (130 m2) of construction, each with two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, kitchen, living/dining area, and, in a separate room on the back, a laundry area. Each unit has its own terrace with excellent views. The two units may be used as separate, self-contained units, or you may open the interconnecting door (normally blocked off) and have one large unit. The 1,100-ft2 (100-m2) guest house has two bedrooms, two baths, kitchenette and a huge covered terrace surrounded by fruit trees.

All of the structures are well-separated from each other, providing plenty of privacy for each. The manicured grounds are very lush, with tropical vegetation and a wide variety of fruit trees (including mango, orange, mandarin, lemon, and bananas). The property is very secure with a gated entrance with telecom, alarm system and a guard house at the entrance. The location is great, within a few blocks (very easy walking distance of downtown Ciudad Colon), and close to The Forum office park, University for Peace, and the new highway to the coast. It is a fantastic property as a private estate (with lots of guest rooms), but it would also be ideal for a corporate retreat, upscale B&B/boutique hotel, residence with rental income from the apartments, etc. The furnishings (including antiques) may be purchased separately.
