Property Description: Ciudad Colon (west of San José, just beyond Escazu and Santa Ana) - A fantastic opportunity to rent the 5,400-ft2 main house on a gorgeous Spanish Colonial-style estate in a convenient location just a few blocks from downtown Ciudad Colon (easy walking distance to everything). The entire property is 1-3/4 acres but you would have about 1-1/4 acre of that as your own manicured lawn to use.
With the rental of the main house comes the centerpiece of the property: the huge terrace with large, heated Infinity pool and adjoining heated Jacuzzi (which cascades into the swimming pool), all with the scenic view (which is fantastic both day and night). Step out of the pool and enter the main house, which overwhelms you with Old World charm. The main house includes a master suite (with bath, office and walk-in closet), second bedroom with bath, kitchen, entry hall, living room, dining room, covered terrace with bar (in addition to the pool terrace), separate annex with two additional bedrooms (along with a small kitchen, making it a self-contained structure), maid's room with bath, two-car garage, etc.
The property also has two apartments and a guest/caretaker's house (for rent separately), but they are behind the main house and out of your line of sight. The remainder of the property is covered with mature growth, including a variety of fruit trees (oranges, lemons, bananas, guavas, etc.), flowers, palm trees, flowering shrubs, etc. The property has its own well which is used for irrigation.
It's a very safe and secure estate, partly because it's in such a peaceful area, but also because it's fully fenced, and each structure has its own alarm system. The entrance has an electric gate, telecom system and a guard's office with toilet (although the current owner doesn't feel the need for a guard).
It's a fantastic area. It's easy to zip into San José (or Escazú, etc.) yet it's far enough away from San José for peaceful living within walking distance of a small town with the charm of the Costa Rica of old. And it's very close to the soon-to-be-completed new highway to the coast.
