19884 - Farm with Outstanding House: Swimming Pool, Garden and Mountain View

The Woods

When we imagine a property in the mountains that fulfills everything that can be a wonderful cabin in the middle of a farm, this is the right property. Its location in the beautiful geography of San Jose de la Montaña with spectacular views of the Central Valley, is simply breathtaking. Its perfectly designed gardens frame this property in such a way that everything seems tailor made and with the best taste. The house has the style of a mountain cabin but has several aspects of modernity that are rarely found in this type of property. Its heated swimming pool, covered sundeck with dressing room and bathroom, large covered deck terrace, the main house and the guest house are some of the most complete facilities that this property enjoys. Simply The Woods is a gift of nature with ideal infrastructure.

The estate is accessed through an electrified gate, with reinforced security through perimeter cameras for the 8 houses that are located within the property. Each house has its own independent access as well as its own perimeter wall. In the case of Finca The Woods, the beautiful fence was made to have the same language that is used in other design elements, where "manú" wood trunks give it that special gray color and extraordinary durability.

A very cozy living room with a wood burning fireplace, built-in wooden furniture and double height ceilings welcome us as a prelude to this place full of wonderful details. A kitchen with all the necessary appliances such as stove and oven, dishwasher, extractor, microwave and refrigerator together with the dining room form the ideal place to enjoy from a hot chocolate to the best of prepared dishes. Two secondary bedrooms are located on this first level, where two bunk beds (4 single beds) have been placed and in the other room a bunk bed with a full bed downstairs and a single bed upstairs. Both have a bathroom shared by both rooms. The master bedroom is on the second floor and has a king size bed; all the walls are lined with wood like most of the house, thus fulfilling that special "look" of a unique mountain atmosphere. The balcony has a view that will take your breath away and is the perfect frame for an unforgettable postcard.

The guest house has two rooms, one with a queen bed + sleeping bed and the other with two cabins with 4 single beds in total. Two full bathrooms serve this guest house, where its surrounding covered corridors provide plenty of recreational and private space. The laundry room is located in this same space and has a washer and dryer already installed. The entire property has cable internet access with excellent coverage.

The large terrace with a deck floor was covered in 2018 to give it a contemporary and welcoming architectural design. They have awning-type blinds to control the climate as well as vertical heaters. The BBQ area is a paradise for those who like to entertain their family and guests with different forms of cooking: pizza oven, WEBER BBQ and smoker (for slow cooking meats), wine cooler and ice maker. This space is ideal for living with small to quite large groups, all with access to the spectacular gardens of the estate, the heated pool with electricity and the beautiful covered gazebo with its own dressing room and bathroom, a design that makes it ideal for everyone to use the pool without having to enter the house wet. The Jacuzzi with massage jets can be turned on an hour in advance to reach its ideal temperature. Both have salt water for noticeable skin benefits.

Other constructions that the property has:

• House of employees. This construction has 3 rooms and the family of workers has helped with the house for many years.
• "She-shed" or office: this wonderful space with glass windows to enjoy the exceptional view and with wooden doors that give it a very cozy look. It can be used for an office, a hobby space or a reading corner. They have a very functional and easily accessible side storage cellar, like a walk-in closet.
• Dollhouse: as we all imagine the ideal place for games, built on top of a mature tree.
• Covered and closed spaces for storage of tools and firewood for internal use.
• A water source within the property guarantees the supply of pure water privately. (The property has more than 9000 m2 of forest, in which there is a spring that supplies water to the house)
• There are two hot water tanks, one in the main cabin and one in the guest house.
• The property does not have a treatment plant, it has septic tanks.
• The garden has an irrigation system.


About the location:

The location brings together the best of two worlds: a life in the countryside, with views, outstanding landscapes and that fresh air that we all long for. Its proximity to almost a kilometer from the center of San José de la Montaña provides the comforts of having mini-supermarkets and services to go for a walk. The entire area is wooded, with first class houses around it and distances with paved access streets for a quick arrival from the capital or simply to start a beautiful walk. The well-known El Tirol restaurant is less than 25 minutes away by car. The Auto Mercado chain is located in Barva de Heredia where you can drive there in about 20 minutes. It also has a highly recommended spa 12 minutes from the property that also has entertainment venues.
