Rarely do properties of this nature become available. This 3 acre sprawling estate sits squarely in the middle of the most desirable mountainside on the Ballena Coast - Escaleras. Two private gate entries provide access to each one of the three bedroom homes. Each home is two levels, fully equipped and has its own pool and sense of privacy. The homes are built with very durable materials and furnished with exotic Costa Rican hardwoods, natural stone materials, and handsome fixtures. Both homes have an upper level great room (kitchen, living, dining, terrace) with an en-suite bedroom, and the lower levels feature two guest suites. The main home is larger, more lavishly furnished, and decorated, additionally includes voluminous artwork and even features a custom hardwood saloon-style bar and social area with ocean views. The upper level of the main home also features a nice ocean view, but the real magic of the property is found with the lush, manicured gardens, walking trails, meditation areas, and hardscaping. The property's gardens are some of the finest in the area and are the owners' pride and joy. A full-time couple lives on the property in a self-contained guest cottage (3rd dwelling & not in the bedroom count) that is near the entrance. This provides security, garden and pool maintenance, and housekeeping services. It's truly an ideal setup, which lends itself very well to full or part time living, vacation rental, or even a venue for retreats with larger groups. The property has a private well, ample and secured parking, and is turnkey in every way. The estate is full of character and Costa Rican charm and is very unique.
