Casa Caramar - SOLD!! Aug. 20
Our home was custom built by architect Oscar Villavencencio of San Jose, Costa Rica. The home is a 2900 sq. ft. Spanish adobe style open floor plan with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is built with concrete block, steel rafters and custom wood throughout including a beautiful wood ceiling. It includes air conditioning, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom built wood cabinets, ceramic tile floors, an alarm system with cameras, durable pvc windows with screens and custom iron work, on-demand water heater, a 1200L water tank and UV purifier, laundry room with washer and dryer and attached garage full of tools. It is being sold fully furnished with comfortable, upholstered and leather furniture, and beds we brought here from the United States, which are hard to find here.
Casa Caramar has all the amenities North Americans are accustomed to. There is extra storage in the hallway with 8 louvered cabinets. Each bedroom is accented with custom built wood cabinets. Our house was built to be our forever home, built to last. The home sits in the center of the rainforest jungle at the highest elevation, situated to catch the breezes from the Caribbean so you will rarely need the air conditioner.
The water supply is generous and provided by a crystal clear Spring in the mountain and has a U/V system for purification. It has an orchard with bananas, pineapple, coconuts, avocado, water apple, lemons, breadfruit, papaya and mango.
A path leads to a stream on property. You will see the beautiful Costa Rica wildlife that inhabits this area such as green macaws, sloths, monkeys, brilliant colored frogs, and more.
