Description
Two custom-built houses on the summit of a titled estate above Tambor Bay, with a view that takes in the whole bay, the coastline of the mainland, Cóbano, Tambor, Bahía Ballena, Playa Muertos, Montezuma, Cabuya, Santa Teresa, Mal País and Manzanillo. At night the lights of San José and Jacó show across the gulf. The air up here is noticeably cooler than on the beach.
The main house, 194 m². Large living and dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, terrace, barbecue and an infinity pool facing the bay.
The second house, 160 m². Large living and dining area, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and terrace. Between the two houses sit the laundry, a covered garage for two cars, a tool room and a separate guest bedroom with its own bathroom.
Services. Electricity, internet, phone and satellite television are connected. Water comes from the estate's own well, and a 7.5 kW diesel generator provides backup power. A river rises from a spring in the middle of the farm, and there are fruit and teak trees on the land.
Access. A public road 1.8 km long winds through the property. Tambor village and beach are about 15 minutes by car.
Development potential. The estate has around 20 natural building pads with ocean views, roughly 20 more that could be created with ocean views, and further sites with panoramic mountain views, so it can be held as a private compound or planned as lots or houses.
Titled, very private, and sold with both houses. Ask us for the survey and the road easement before you plan a subdivision.
