Recently relisted. Just 15 minutes inland from the surfing town Dominical, this quiet home is perfectly situated within an old farm, surrounded by tropical jungle landscape. The elevation provides more breeze and cooler temperatures than the beach. Since the pandemic and getting reliable fiber optic internet, we are encouraging longer term stays---look for the attractive discount for a month or longer. Enjoy tropical trees, plants and flowers and watching toucans, parrots, falcons, and butterflies that visit the grounds in the early morning and afternoons from hammocks and cozy chairs. Every morning the howler monkeys can be heard welcoming the day. The 1100 ft elevation ensures a more comfortable temperature, even when it's steamy at the beach. The house is not air conditioned, but ceiling fans and the house’s location allows for comfortable air movement. The mostly-shaded deck offers a perfect place for relaxing, drinking Costa Rican coffee, reading books, and watching the jungle. The dining area consists of an oversized table overlooking the deck and green jungle beyond. The kitchen has granite countertops, an island, as well as a small table and sitting area. Hikes can leave directly from the house. One steep trail leads down the back hillside to a small private waterfall. Another goes down to the Diamante and Baru Rivers for a dip or to hike to amazing waterfalls in either direction, including the most photographed waterfall in Costa Rica, Nauyaca Falls. Other activities include hiking, surfing, kayaking, rafting, horseback riding, snorkeling, scuba diving, zip lining, going to the market, bird and wildlife watching, as well as relaxing and soaking up the simple life. Sleeping Accommodations: The home sleeps 6-7 people comfortably. Two bedrooms are equipped with full sized beds and the third bedroom has teak bunk beds. We have a single bed in an extra room and floor space for mattress. Two bathrooms are located on either side of the house with hot water. There is also an sublime outdoor shower. Children are welcome, but the house may be unsuitable for families with small toddlers or children who would climb on the deck railing. Cooking Accommodations: Make use of the fully-equipped indoor kitchen by cooking up stir fries and fresh fish from the Pacific Produce is largely organic and purchased locally at several farmers' markets locally. We buy free-range eggs, goat milk/cheese and yogurt, and fresh corn tortillas, artiisan bread, and gorgeous produce Internet is stable and fast fiber optic with WIFi throughout the house. **Please look under the tab "House Rules" for additional information about visiting the area. Our house manager lives in an adjacent casita and is available by phone or in person for problems that may arise. An elderly long term tenant lives in an adjacent casita, out of sight. We are in a small community of homes on large lots on what was a hilly farm, Valley of the Horses. There are about a dozen other, widely spaced homes, providing a delightful sense of community and a gravel road system that is wonderful for walking and birding. Strongly recommend renting a car. During non rainy months, 2WD will suffice, but 4 WD will allow much more flexibility to explore less traveled beaches and swimming holes. Toaster and clothes dryer replaced in 2023.
