Ready to relax in the real Costa Rica? This super affordable home is perfect for either a peaceful life in the rural hill country of Costa Rica, or a weekend getaway cottage. Located just an hour drive from the beaches and tourist areas of Manuel Antonio and Jaco beach, this home is also near a daily bus route to the capital city of San Jose.

I personally own property in this area and plan to build a weekend cottage for my family. This neighborhood is like going back in time. It is not unusual to see local farmers herding cattle down the roads or a traditional Costa Rica Ox Cart carrying the days harvest to the market. You are surrounded by lush natural vegetation and frequented by Toucans, parrots and a huge variety of colorful birds. When you hear “Pura Vida”, this is what they mean!

The house is simple and rustic. Drinkable water is provided by the asada from a local spring. The home has numerous fruit bearing trees in the nice sized yard. There’s an open aired kitchen, which stays cool all day. There is a carport to keep your vehicle shaded and out of the rain. Two bedrooms incase you have an overnight guest. There is a storage bodega/laundry area and a small patio used for outdoor grilling.

The home has electric provided by ICE and there is a wireless internet signal from ICE Kolbi as well as Starlink satellite service available in Costa Rica now as well! If you are looking for an affordable home in the hills in paradise, schedule a tour today!
