Jacuzzi, wine-cellar etc.

  The estate is located just above the small village San Rafael Arriba near Aserri at a height of exactly 1330m (approx. 4,360 ft), in a fantastic panoramic location which cannot be blocked. The small place Aserri, only 1 mile away, even has the popular panoramic-view-symbol on maps. An average of more than 320 sunny days per year are waiting for you. By the way, the climate in San Rafael Arriba is very pleasant. Throughout the year the temperatures are about 77ºF during the day and go down to 64ºF at nights so that air conditioning is unnecessary.

The estate is the last piece of land on a mountain ridge, the asphalt road ends at the gate entrance. Thereafter you can only find mountains, streams and tropical forest, pure nature! Another advantage is the water-supply with pure drinking water via own spring. By the way, the nearest waterfall is only 5m away from the pool on the estate. The neighbours are as exclusive as the house: the former mayor of Desamparados and his son (member of Costa Rica’s Parliament), a well-known football coach, members of a embassy etc.
