H43 2BR 1BA home in secluded shady woods with stream, $65,000, offer
Located astride a stream and down a long shady lane in the tidy village of Los Angeles, this is a basic home which you can make into a small treasure. The walled and fenced property is almost half an acre (.44) of fruit trees and native trees of the kinds visited by monkeys, sloths, and a great variety of birds. Los Angeles is a pretty ranching village halfway between Canas and Tilaran. It is cooler than the lowlands but has less rain and wind than does the higher lake region. It is about 7 miles or about 10 minutes from the Interamerican highway at Canas and so only 40 minutes from the international airport at Liberia, a very convenient drive to this getaway cottage, where one can enjoy peace and quiet except for the stream and the wildlife. The cottage has electricity, water, and telephone service. Los Angeles is a small, neat, and prosperous ranching village. It was said to have been the most important town in the area until Tilaran was created in 1912. Clever remodeling of this house could make it a real charmer in the shaded but warm streamside setting. The owner will take half down and half after 3 months.
The house sits amid huge trees on a dead-end lane. Past the house is one neighbor and then the road ends in the open country.
The cottage is located beside a quiet lane a half-mile from the village center
The lane reaches one more house and then ends in the open ranchland.
The foothill village of Los Angeles is centered on a handsome church. Across from the church, in the exact center of the village, is a huge soccer field.
The handsome church, surrounded by pretty park-like grounds, is the center of town. Across from the church is the huge soccer field. Beyond the goal posts is the school. Residents often ride about on horses, as one can tell from this photo. The cottage is reached by continuing down this same road from the front of the church.
A walkway leads to a bridge over the stream that runs thrugh the half-acre.

From the large gated parking area, a railed walkway leads down to the bridge.
A walkway beside the house crosses a bridge to a large area on the far side of the stream.
From the large gated and walled parking area, a railed path leads to the bridge.
Downstream The clearing beyond the stream now has a large shallow pool filled by pure water from the spring-fed stream.
A pretty stream meanders through the lot, some of its water diverted to a new pool.
Across the bridge is the large open area with a new pool.
Beyond the pool and stream is the small house beside the road. Here is the bridge leading back to the house.
The stream-fed pool returns the water to the stream in a channel from the far end.
Remodeling of the house should include windows and a deck overlooking the stream.
The central area has a high wood ceiling. Here the sala or living room shows that this is a basic home capable of charming decoration.
The interior of the house is almost entirely bare. The owner says that he thought it best to leave furnishing or remodeling to a buyer. Extensive remodeling could make this place a very pleasant home because of the shady country location above the warm lowlands.
