San Ramon Home Nestled Between Mountains and City

Live and enjoy a real Pura Vida experience in this comfortable, newly remodeled home in a friendly San Ramon neighborhood. This house is located where city meets country, a 10-minute walk to the Parque Central. It is one of the few homes available walking distance to central San Ramon, the new hot real estate market in Costa Rica. Wake up in the morning to the sound of birds before walking to town via the mountain ridge past San Ramon's emerging estate area. Enjoy stunning views of the picturesque valley and the University of Costa Rica, both nestled in their mountain backdrop. Or walk the broad Calle Principal with its grand homes to the bustling city center.

This solidly constructed city home has 1,250 SF (116 square meters) of living space on a 188.06 square meter lot. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath contemporary home was recently renovated by its North American owner/Architect. The house features terracotta tile floors, new electric fixtures, cabinetry and appliances installed this year. In addition, to the comfortable interior space, the property includes a tiled front courtyard with automatic garage opener and a open-air interior courtyard. The two-story 532 SF apartment/guest house with separate entrance is fully plumbed and wired and awaits your finishing touches. The expenses for this house are a surprisingly affordable $20.00 per month (Water@$4, Phone@$5, Electric@$7), including real estate taxes at $40/year.

San Ramon (pop. ~60,000) is one of the larger Central Valley coffee towns set in a picturesque valley enclosed by lush and fertile mountains. Centrally located 45 minutes from the San Jose International Airport and one hour from the Central Pacific beaches, we believe San Ramon provides the best Costa Rica offers. The town is home to a branch of the University of Costa Rica, a major hospital, numerous banks, restaurants, internet cafes, a new 3-cinema movie theatre with stadium seating, yet retains all the charm of traditional Costa Rica with a slow-paced family-centered way of life. The weekly farmer's market features an abundance of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and flowers. (For more San Ramon information, see our San Ramon Guide.) Known as the "city of presidents and poets," San Ramon was home to many of the political and literary leaders of Costa Rica including presidents and architects of the modern Costa Rican state. As some areas of Costa Rica are becoming over-developed, San Ramon is a unique gem just being discovered by an International community craving a real Costa Rican experience.

This is a home for someone who wants to live safely in the lively city of San Ramon and experience a friendly local community. Not needing to drive will allow you to genuinely become part of this tranquilo culture.
