Railway-Beam Farmhouse With Guest Casita Near La Paz

Description

Welcome to an exceptional rural estate nestled in one of Costa Rica's most beautiful regions. Located just half a kilometer from La Paz University and adjacent to the charming town of Rodeo, this finquita offers an ideal blend of peaceful country living and convenient access to San José from the western approach. The property spans 6,505 square meters of developed land, complemented by an additional 4,531 square meters of protected forest area crisscrossed with walking trails and rich with native flora and fauna. This creates a private sanctuary surrounded by mature fruit and flower trees. The main residence, approximately 180 square meters, showcases thoughtful design and quality finishes. A large covered terrace flows from the living spaces, leading to a well-appointed kitchen. The master bedroom features a walk-in closet and access to a full bathroom with dual entrances—one from the bedroom and one from the hallway—allowing the adjacent TV room to serve as an additional bedroom with direct bathroom access. A secondary bedroom with full bath completes the first level. Character defines this home's interior, featuring decorative wooden beams salvaged from historic railway lines and decorative corbels imported from Nicaragua. Antique carretas, over a century old, are displayed as charming reminders of Costa Rica's heritage. The property's recreational heart includes a recently renovated swimming pool with updated pumping and water systems, surrounded by a spacious concrete terrace. An open-air kitchen area features a charcoal BBQ, traditional clay pizza oven, and a vintage wood-burning stove—perfect for outdoor entertaining. A separate guest casita provides an additional bedroom, full bathroom, and kitchen area, ideal for visitors or rental income. Supporting amenities include two stables, three kennels, a laundry facility with drying area, and a separate guard house for security. Water is supplied via an on-site well (secondary option) and the property connects to municipal sewerage services.
