Rancho Cartagena: Now is the time to own property in the dry forest mountains of Guanacaste, only 45 minutes from the Liberia International Airport (LIR) and 20 minutes to the sandy beaches on the Pacific coastline. This 3-story estate spans over 2.5 acres of peaceful forest where an abundance of deer, monkeys and tropical birds all call home. The modern 3-bedroom home has two oversized primary bedrooms with ensuites on the top floor with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains through the large wall of windows.

The main level of the home serves as the hub of activity with the large kitchen, living room, the third bedroom with ensuite bathroom along with a half bath and a large laundry room. Indoor entertaining flows outdoors to the large pool, deck and outdoor kitchen. Enjoy the warm breezy evenings with family and friends watching the sunset over the mountains and then, without city lights to interfere, watch shooting stars against the backdrop of an unobstructed view of the bright moon and a galaxy of stars.

On the ground level is a massive garage for multiple vehicles and tons of storage, ideal for keeping tools, equipment or adventure gear. Living freely in Rancho Cartagena means you are almost "off the grid" with the water supply from a well that is maintained by the neighborhood and with the home's solar panels. The property has fruit trees and there is more than enough room for expansive gardens or to build a casita for rental income.

This is 'horse country'. The parcel next door, over an acre, can be purchased separately which includes a horse stable and coral.
