Location: Dominical, Costa Rica
This beautiful 4 bedroom home was just reduced from $635,000 to $599,000.
The Location and Property
Ideally, location only 6km from Dominical sits Paradise Breezes. The entrance way is immaculate. The gate opens by code at the gate and you can also open the gate up from your home for when you have visitors.
There are lights at night and security cameras. Also, a security guard patrols the property and it is fenced.
The entire private property is paved throughout and this home is a very short 400 meter or so drive just far enough up the hill to catch those refreshing breezes.
The lush drive through the community takes advantage of the natural flora, fauna and rain forest. During the drive in you pass a huge Guanacaste tree with the roots showing, it really is a site to see. The Guanacaste tree is Costa Rica's national tree.
What makes Paradise Breezes unique is that there are very few homes on the property. The homes are very well spaced apart to ensure privacy.
The easy 2 wheel drive access is also a huge bonus and the ocean views really are spectacular. This type of community is rare and hard to find in Costa Rica. With easy access and close proximity to Dominical the homes rent out very well. Good thing there is a property manager on site to assist with rentals if you are not able to. He can even arrange tours, a private chef and attend to whatever problem 24/7.
A few more great features are the restaurant out front of the house and the fact that a bus stops right out front on the highway.
Parking and Entrance
There is a covered area to park your vehicle and a guest parking spot across the road.
Climb 35 stone steps through the fully landscaped entrance to the house and you will be rewarded with stunning white water ocean and jungle views.
Outside and Pools
The infinity pool is set below the house with ocean and jungle views. The pool is a perfect size, big enough to swim laps but small enough to be easy and cheap to maintain. There is a small bathroom by the pool and an outside shower. Just imagine floating in this pool soaking up the rays and then rolling over to cool down.
But wait, there's more. Another private jacuzzi tub lies around back in the shade. This is a favorite place to relax during the day and also at night, you can enjoy the jacuzzi tub while stargazing.
You really do get a sense of tranquility when hanging outside of the home in the jungle. The thick forest is nice and cool in the shade and the fresh breezes contribute to the bliss.
There is an assortment of flora, fauna and fruit trees that attract Toucans daily, hummingbirds among other birds, Sloths, Pizotes, Monkeys and other wildlife.
There are also bird feeding stations on both sides of the house so you are sure to get daily visits from Toucans and other wildlife.
Around the back of the home you can access the laundry and storage room. There is also a water filtration system that filters the already clean well water from the community well.
The Home
This is a 4 bedroom and 3.5 bathrooms modern home with stunning ocean views.
If you are looking to make extra money from vacation rentals this is the perfect opportunity. The ocean views, proximity to the beach/towns, luxury finishes, privacy, pool, and jungle views are sought after for vacation rentals. There is even an English speaking property manager to take care of everything while you are away. There is also a concierge that arranges tours, chefs, massages, etc and also provides very helpful information about the area.
The sliding glass doors open up and turn the home into an indoor/outdoor living area under the huge roof of the terrace you can enjoy the jungle, nature and be within steps of the kitchen and living room area.
Enjoy whitewater views and amazing sunsets from this home year round.
The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, marvelous granite countertops, and dark hardwood cabinets. The large fridge is brand new and highly efficient.
The kitchen, living room and dining area are an open layout leading out onto the terrace. This and the high ceilings with beautiful wood from Costa Rica really make the home feel big.
The house is set up with 2 master bedrooms. It is hard to decide which one is best. Both have amazing ocean and jungle views The kitchen, living room and dining area in the middle of the house make each master suite very private. A large bathroom for each master bedroom is nicely decorated
The two other rooms have jungle views and share a Jack & Jill bathroom which also open up to the rest of the house. The butterfly bushes and shrimp plants attract hummingbirds that can be viewed from the back two bedrooms. The one bedroom is set up as the office with built-in desk.
This is a turnkey package deal that comes fully furnished including the beautiful artwork/photography from the owner. The furniture is new and everything is of good quality.
A 2006 Toyota Rav 4 even comes with the home when the right offer is made.
Solar Package
Speaking of efficiency! The solar package pays for 70% of the cost of electricity. The bill when the owners are home run around $150 with use of the air conditioners. That is a bargain considering normally just the AC will cost you more than this and the pool electricity consumption is high.
Fees
HOA fees are $575 a month and this includes security, beautiful roads and unlimited clean water from the well on the property.
