Barucito

Barú Pérez Zeledón, San José, Kostaryka

Resting hundreds of meters above the nearby Pacific surf, the hilly Tinamastes region enjoys a cooler climate, often escaping the tropical heat and sticky humidity of Costa Rica’s popular coastal locales. But the pleasant weather and spectacular mountain & jungle vistas are not the main attractions here – this honor goes to the area’s reputation as Costa Rica’s center of sustainability, permaculture, handmade arts & crafts, organic farming, eco-living, spiritual pursuits and a tranquil lifestyle all-around.

The countryside is a mix of jungles, cloud-forests, rolling hills, towering mountains, vertical cliffs, thundering waterfalls, pasturelands, coffee plantations (the Brunca coffee region) and small farms.

THE HOUSE

The single-bed house, with a million-dollar view, offers a tropical, bright, and open living concept. The bathroom / laundry area is especially striking in that regard – under a translucent roof, you can feel the warm sun which also nourishes the flowering bougainvillea that sneak into the space along the open ceiling. Numerous plants, some potted and some growing straight through the gravel flooring, add a touch of brilliant & bursting rainforest vibe – you have NEVER seen a bathroom quite like this one! The kitchen holds a fridge, gas burner, electric oven and plenty of storage – this kitchen space is also shared with a living area which opens into the front entrance / patio. The bedroom is bright, with the large windows welcoming the sunshine and exotic vistas. Up front, a covered entrance / patio is graced by climbing bougainvillea, manicured lawn & garden, and tropical mountain views - offering a place of relaxation, meditation or entertainment. A perfect spot for your morning coffee or afternoon drinks.

THE YOGA PLATFORM & CARPORT

A covered yoga deck, surrounded by floor to ceiling meshing that opens up the natural views, is served by a ceiling fan and electric lighting. So you can practice yoga any time of day and night, and in any weather – anyone can center themselves on a peaceful sunny day but how about doing so during a tropical thunder downpour? You will undoubtfully get a chance to find out! The enclosed yoga platform can easily turn into a guest cabin, giving your visitors a true jungle experience.

The large carport can fit several vehicles and is outfitted with strong multi-level shelving for your storage needs.

THE PLANTELS

Three plantels are peppered throughout the property. The seller has taken great care to clean and prepare them and has provided clear pathways to connect property structures and plantels. The plantels all share the same majestic mountain and jungle views while the upper plantel also offers a distant view of the Pacific Ocean.

Additional homes, guest homes, cabins, or perhaps a swimming pool, jacuzzi, or gazebo are just some options for development. Or how about a greenhouse or animal enclosure? With THREE plantels, you will be free to mix-and-match any way you desire!

THE PROPERTY LOCATION

This property is an easy 20-minute drive to Tinamastes – so while it may feel like the land is isolated and secluded, truth is that all the modern-day comforts and conveniences are a short drive away. You can easily enjoy a surfside morning coffee in Dominical or attend a day of shopping in San Isidro – and the trip itself will be an adventure as scenery along the way is simply breathtaking.

Tinamastes – 20 minutes from the property. Tinamastes is a local service town but also a major center of artesian art & craft, organic farming, and alternate lifestyles. Here you will also find shops, cafes, bars & restaurants, grocers, car mechanics, schools, churches, and the famous farmer’s market.

Dominical – 40 minutes from the property (going west). Home of a world-famous surf beach, Dominical and local area offer stunning Pacific scenery, eco activities, adrenaline pursuits, SCUBA, whale-watching, sport fishing, fine dining, pubs & cafes, nightlife & entertainment, as well as a plethora of other services and amenities.

San Isidro – 40 minutes from the property (going east). San Isidro is the main city of Costa Rica’s southern half – so whatever you need in terms of goods & services, expect to find it there.

What an incredible property in one of the most tranquil corners of Costa Rica! There is also so much opportunity here – with three plantels and plenty of fertile soil, the most daring of vision can be manifested into reality. Is this what you have been looking for – or dreaming of?
