This charming house and its adjacent plantation make the perfect retirement home. The rear of the house has spectacular views of the Turrialba Volcano and the Reventazon River Valley. The peaceful and safe family home is on a quiet, well-graded country road in a friendly rural neighborhood. A gated entry opens onto a beautiful well kept lawn with a garden path leading to the 5.5 hectare fruit plantation which provides a steady income.

The plantation is made up of mainly cacao and bananas, but also boasts a mixture of almost 20 different types of other fruit including platano, caimito, guava, guanabana, lemon, mandarin, pineapple and avocado. The plantation is entirely organic and no pesticides have been used on it.

The simple house is full of character. The interior walls are hand-painted with wonderfully detailed landscapes that make the large interior space seem even larger than it is. Hand-carved indigenous stone sculptures lend the property a totally unique and traditional air.

The plantation provides an important haven for a wide variety of animals including coatis, ocelots, poison dart frogs and the extremely rare green macaw. It is bordered by a stream that is a natural pathway for wildcats and other mammals. Toucans, hummingbirds and oropendolas are constant daily visitors making this a true haven for bird-watchers.

The house is located a couple of hundred meters off the main Turrialba-Siquirres road in a calm and peaceful location with great views of the Reventazon Valley. It's a 5 minute drive to the nearest local stores, and the bustling town of Turrialba with all its facilities is just 30 minutes away.

The house is fully titled and the plano is up to date and ready for sale.
