Paradise Costa Rica Central Valley Estate Sleeps up to 30 ! | House in El Yaz
5 Bedroom House in Santiago, El Yaz
Loads of space, sunshine, beauty and ultra fast wifi - perfect for your pandemic get-away work and study headquarters! Villa Alas Azules is nestled about an hour east from the capital of San Jose, in a gorgeous, picture-perfect hidden Orosi valley, one hour drive north to the Caribbean ocean, and an hour’s drive south to the Pacific. The estate rests at an elevation of about 4000 feet where temperatures couldn't be more lovely year round! Also fiberoptic high speed broadband wifi 200 mbps was installed in December, enough to conduct any work and school requirements needed. NOTE: We need at least 4 days advance notice to have time for housekeeper to get all beds ready and house cleaned.
Virtually all of Costa Rica’s rich treasures are within easy reach and under about 20 miles, from zip lining, canopy tours, rafting, rainforest tours, natural hot springs, waterfalls, to bird watching, hiking trails and star gazing. Even some of the country’s most important archeological sites like Guayabo, or the Ujarras ruins, and the still surviving colonial architecture in 10 minutes away small town of Orosi.
This spectacular home is uniquely outfitted on 9 acres with a basketball court, koi pond, Jacuzzi, edible vegetation (lemons, limes, grapefruits, bananas, coffee, eggplants, green beans, cilantro, peppers, tomatoes, etc), views of beautiful waterfall from the long front porch during the green/rainy season, fully stocked kitchen for cooking and serving, a covered gazebo outdoor kitchen with grill overlooking the valley, lots of walking and hiking trails, hammocks, badminton, croquet, Foosball, etc. There is TV with cable and DVD player, and hook up for iPod stereo music. During Easter, New Years or Christmas, there is a 1 week min stay & a $350 sur charge for high season. $35 per pet for the entire stay. $35 access to laundry room for your stay, otherwise its locked.
There’s loads of space for large family groups, or lots of privacy for those who prefer that. Small stores are less than a mile, larger grocery stores are located about 15 minutes away in Paraiso, while mega style stores like Walmart are located about 30 minutes away in Cartago, which you pass on the way from the airport to the property.
Local Costa Rican art is on display throughout the home and within the gardens. Note the hand carved columns at the gazebo, the benches, the stone carvings, etc. The home is handsomely and solidly built with hardwoods, glass brick, tile, concrete and stucco. The blue exterior paint on the lower portion of the house is one of the famous traditional ways of building a Costa Rican homes.
The home acquired its name for 3 reasons: the lower blue on its exterior walls, the two blue feathered peacocks that lived on the property for many years (Fred and Mathilda, who have since joined bird heaven), and the spectacular Blue Morpho butterflies fluttering into view on any given day.
An onsite groundskeeper tends to the gardens, while a cook and housekeeper can be affordably hired each day to make your meals and clean house (about $35 per day). Also available if you hire one of our approved guides to drive is a new in 2022 15 passenger van with large luggage rack on top for $650 per week. We can arrange airport pickup by local staff (email to inquire for prices) and to conduct tours.
Ask us questions, we love to help! We have so many more photos and videos to share.
We have had some problems in the past with 2 people renting the property thinking they could have dozens or hundreds of people to spend the day on the property, and we do not allow this. Each guest or visitor will be charged at the nightly rate, regardless of whether they spend the night. Also please note if there is an area internet outage, that this is beyond our control, and we cannot offer refunds. Note the caretaker has a small white dog, so you may occasionally see its white fur on the cushions of outdoor patio furniture. Additionally this is an older home that frequently hosts volunteers with an NGO doing work nearby; it is thus lived in, not a new hotel, and so its shows signs of frequent use.
