H182a The home and other buildings are superior structures in fine landscaping
Though the four-year-old home is quite large now at 4,000 square feet, there's room to expand either in new construction upward or in remodeling of utility spaces within the home. In addition, there is plenty of buildable land elsewhere on the 4+ acres. A particularly interesting area is the lowest part of the acreage, which is between the forest and the lake road. Much of this long frontage is cleared. The home has been extraordinarily strongly built in anticipation of someday adding another story. Though the home currently has just two bedrooms, there are large spaces for storage and studio use which can be converted to one or even two bedrooms. The cottage (cabina) and bodega (storage) buildings are also exceptionally well built, and, what's more, made attractive in themselves and by their landscaped surroundings.
The lakeview side of the house has grand circular family room on the second floor and a glassed sun porch with an outside stairway as well as inner access. The Tronadora side of the house has a double garage and the house shows off its beautiful new colors.
The fortress-strong home, built to sustain a third story, was completed repainted in summer, 2011, to highest North American standards with the best lifetime-guaranteed pain available in Costa Rica. The left photo shows the lake side of the house with the circular two-story tower and the Sun Room. The right photo shows the two-car garage with automatic doors.

A strong storage building is itself attravivly designed and situated. The almendra (almond-wood) ceiling in the rotunda exemplifies the high quality of the materials and the strong construction throughout.
The bodega or storage building actually has a veranda. Behind it is a small corral. Owners and guests can also enjoy fire rings and rustic seating areas pleasurably situated on the beautiful property.
The rotunda ceiling is finished with almendra (almond), a hardwood not commercially available now. It is nearly impossible to nail or drill into it. It typifies the first-class construction on this property.
