Casa Jardin

A 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath house with a nice front porch, a large enclosed deck with a fireplace and a very spacious bodega and is approximately 2492 sq. feet under roof plus the bodega area which is approximately 1,020 sq ft.

The house is situated on a 2 acre parcel at the end of a dead end road with a total of 3 houses so it is very quiet and private. The house fronts on the Rio Buena Vista and has a year-round creek in the back. At the end of the lane is a bus stop on the paved road into Rivas, where banking and shopping is available. Two-wheel drive access!

Casa Jardin has a High Efficiency solar hot water heater with an internal electric heater for backup. The solar hot water is supplied to the kitchen, master bath, and laundry. The second bath has an electric hot water shower. The kitchen has a 4 burner gas stove and griddle, an energy saving refrigerator and a built in microwave that comes with the house.

Originally this was a Tico house that has been totally refurbed by the owners. Most of the major work was accomplished in 2017 and continued up into 2021.

One of the most recent upgrades (done in 2023) to the property has been turning the green house into a studio with a full bath, front deck facing the creek, and a large deck by the raised garden beds with counters and a sink. Under roof, the studio is approximately 1,101 sq ft. The studio and bath are 340 sq ft and the rest is deck, garage, and greenhouse.

The total size of the property is just over 2 acres of land split in two different properties, the main house is on 1/3 of acre (1317 sq) and the smaller house (casita Jardin) is on the rest of the farm 1.73 acres (6996 m2).

Both properties feature a large variety of mature fruit trees including Coffee Plants which are producing enough to supply the owners for an entire year. Other trees include avocados, mango, moringa, coconuts, kumquat, lime, mandarina, lemon, orange, cacao, clove Tree, grapefruit, manzana de Rosa, mangostan amongst many others.
