This hilltop oceanview renovation gem is located just over an hour from the San Jose International airport as you are heading toward the Central Pacific coast. The area is known as Calle La Barca, which is before the Crocodile Bridge that heads over Tarcoles. Calle La Barca was the original road down to the river where there was a ferry to take across and continue on the road south. This was before the Crocodile bridge was built over 40 years ago.  It continues to be a beautiful area full of wildlife and especially attractive for birdwatchers. The property overlooks the forested areas by the river and this is a natural corridor for the Scarlet Macaws on their daily routes to and from the Carara National Park. The views of the sunset during the summer are breathtaking.

House Description:

This approximately 4000 sqft home offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large open layout with kitchen and living areas, a pantry, a garage and a laundry room. The rooms are very spacious with large windows and high ceilings. On the second level there is a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and master bathroom with a jacuzzi. This master suite opens to the wrap around balcony where there are spectacular views. The other three guest bedrooms on this second level all have access to the wrap around porch.

This house is sold unfurnished, and needs some basic repairs like paint, ceiling fans, and AC units. This hilltop oceanview gem is a blank slate waiting for someone to add color and finishes that will make it their own. There is so much that could be done with it, from turning it into an Airbnb or a vacation home for a large family to having it as a full time residence. The location is perfect to be close to amenities but far enough away to enjoy nature. Jaco Beach is a 25 minute drive and Orotina is just 20 minutes. Both towns have a variety of stores, restaurants and services.

The property spans over an acre and is planted with mature fruit trees including avocado, mango, lemons and coconuts. There is plenty of space to add a pool if the buyer chooses to do so. The land can be turned into beautiful garden full of tropical flowers.
