The ceilings are high and the rooms are amply cooled by split unit air conditioning and fans. There is a separate bodega housing the pool equipment which provides storage for beach toys and bikes.

The living space leads through sliding glass doors to the ample terrace and large, beautiful swimming pool. Clever use of large cream colored tiles unify the inside and outside areas The outside dining area is shaded by the overhanging roof and there are 2 sunny terraces for sunbathing.

The house is tucked into the mountain and sheltered from the Guanacaste winds. There is ample water supplied by the two large tanks and cameras are strategically placed outside for added peace of mind and security. The internet service in the house is fast and very stable.

High end stainless steel appliances, Guanacaste wood island, quartz countertops and oversized teak doors create sophisticated living spaces. Comfortable beds and attractive understated yet sophisticated furniture make the purchase visually desirable and turnkey,

The road up to the house is asphalt with excellent discrete concrete water drainage channels to take the rain away efficiently when the green season kicks in. The drive to the front gates and Highway 911 is only 5 minutes. Potrero has some excellent restaurants and supermarkets

La Marcela has a wonderful community spirit with two WhatsApp social media platforms helping residents with any questions or issues they may have. HOA is voluntary but is only $100 per month for a variety of useful services. The clever positioning of the homes makes you feel at one with nature and the only noises you hear are the howler monkeys and the birds.
