Ponderosa Ranch of Costa Rica (known locally as "Finca Ponderosa") a 5+ acre facility located in the north central valley of Costa Rica which is about 2 hours from Juan Santa Maria Airport next to Alajuela near San Jose, 1 hour from Arenal Volcano near La Fortuna and about 3 hours drive to either the Caribbean or the Pacific Beaches ....
Ponderosa is a 7 Bedroom & 7 Bathroom Facility with about 8,000 square feet under roof and is situated at an elevation of 920 meters or 3,000 feet above sea level which provides a very "even" year 'round temperature, so no Heating or Air Conditioning is necessary.
Current taxes for this 8,000 sf Facility on 5+ acres is $140.00 per YEAR ........
We are selling because the facility is just too large for us in light of recent health problems and just plain getting older - we will retain the south-east corner of the property and build a smaller version as our ongoing residence, so we will continue to be your neighbors ....
Ponderosa is located in Campo San Gerardo de La Tigra in the Canton of San Carlos and the Alajuela Province of Costa Rica and is very nearly the exact geographical center of the Country East - West in the "Northern Zone" on the Atlantic side of a mountaintop in the Tilaran mountain range, 30 kilometers (19 miles) due east of Montverde, 45 kilometers (28 miles) north of San Ramon and due west of Ciudad Quesada. La Tigra is about a 2 hour drive from the San Jose airport ( which is actually just outside of Alajuela )
Campo San Gerardo is in a "remote" location which means negligible noise, traffic, crime and disruptions. We are NOT isolated and have public transportation in La Tigra just 3 miles down the mountain from our facility
La Tigra is located on a "flyway" for migrating birds and butterflies. One can see hundreds, or even thousands, of swallowtail kites and vultures. There are more than 270 bird species in this area, including quetzals, bell birds, umbrella birds, trojans, toucans, parrots and various songbirds.
More than 450 species of butterflies have also been identified in this area. Wildlife abounds all around the farms, and three types of cats or jaguar tracks have been seen...
The Facility has 7 private spaces, each having it's own private full bathroom which has hot water showers and also piping and electrical "rough-in" for hot water to bathroom sink if heated hand washing facilities are required ...
Each private space has ample room for 2 or even 3 double beds if you are considering a long or short term living facility and certainly area for patient with guest accommodation if you are considering a medical operation ...
The "commons area" is totally open with no physical obstructions and is more than 1,700 square feet in area, NOT including the open mezzanine of 580 square feet , which is used for an office area ...
