Located in San Isidro de Grecia. This house has the capacity to satisfy all tastes, with panoramic views, unique designs and the comfort desired.
Villa Luces que Flotan rests high on the slopes of Poas Volcano above Grecia with broad views of Costa Rica's verdant Central Valley. Countless shimmering valley lights below, star-filled skies above, fireflies drifting over the property and glowing 'floating' fountain sphere give the villa its name.
This is a visionary home- a monument to the sacred past with modern aesthetics and ingenuity. Ovals and circles throughout harmonize the villa with the land and sky. Absolutely unique in its style, the villa's design blends sacred Amerindian forms and landscape alignments with hacienda and monastic forms.
The villa is aligned with the highest peak on the southern horizon. A nineteen-meter lap-pool transects the villa and points precisely at the mountain peak. Swimmers can recline on the pool's vanishing line to enjoy magnificent views.
Centered in the courtyard amphitheatre, fountain water bubbles from a 'floating' sphere and flows down the long lap pool to vanish over a waterfall. A large semi-circular solar heated Jacuzzi pool with a shallow massage platform sits below the waterfall.
The whole villa emanates from the fountain. Even the broad circular sweep of the roof slopes to the fountain.
Throughout the year air conditioning and heating are unnecessary. Year-round daytime temperatures on the mountain average 74 degrees Fahrenheit and night-times average a comfortable 65 degrees.
Access to the home is via a remotely controlled gate and a half-mile of paved road bordered by an exquisite park-like setting. The Rio Achiote below the property offers streamside walks amid virgin forest and waterfalls. The abundance of varied wildlife is to be enjoyed daily as the Resplendent Quetzal, the long-tailed sacred bird of the Aztecs and Mayans and toucans nest on the mountain slopes, and ever-present hummingbirds and butterflies hover throughout the gardens.
Owner financing is available with a minimum 40% down at 8% for 5 years.
