Montezuma Ocean View Oasis

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom house of reinforced concrete above Montezuma, with three exterior decks facing east over the Piedra Colorada and Playa Grande reserves. The top deck has a 120-degree view of the ocean, the mountains and Jacó across the Gulf of Nicoya; the sunrises are the point of the place.

Inside. Master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet and its own large deck; second bedroom with a full bathroom. High ceilings, large windows and sliding glass doors. Open-plan kitchen and living room, laundry and pantry behind the kitchen, and a lounge off the living room with a barbecue and a private outdoor shower. The concrete construction keeps road noise out.

Services and equipment. Fully air conditioned, whole-house surge protector, on-demand hot water, upgraded wiring, 300 Mbps fiber-optic internet, 2,500-liter water storage and grey-water storage. Covered carport.

The land. A large variety of fruit trees. Public road access, titled.

Wildlife and birdwatching from the decks, a town and beach below, and a house built to a higher standard than most on this hill.
