Casa de Mango is Now on the Market

#19 Hacienda Atenas SOLD
Owned by Pete & Stef



Yes, this is our home and property that we have decided to sell

For some strange reason, I got the bug to build a new home that I intend to be our final home. Whether you know it or not, I really enjoy getting involved in the construction of homes in Costa Rica. Never did that when living in the US for some reason, but here it is fun. Besides, at my age - I need to stay busy.

When we were looking for lots to build on, the first thing I wanted (as a lot of others do) - is a lot with an outstanding view. But our Spanish teacher, who is a Tica, taught me different. She said "look for a lot with building potential that may have a small view - not just one that has just a big view with no property for expansion" - She was right - Lot #19 in Hacienda Atenas was a perfect choice, and I could feel that the first time I stepped foot on it.  - We bought it the next day.

When we built Casa de Mango, we had specific things in mind:

A very warm and comfortable place for us and our friends to enjoy. Taking these desires into consideration we built a home that:
  • Has two identical master suites that are large and comfortable. One up and one down for privacy.
  • A great smooth-flowing floor plan that makes every room very easy to get to.
  • A very efficient 3-step kitchen with all the needed appliances.
  • Plenty of outside living areas to enjoy and entertain.
  • A very well-designed pool and pool deck to enjoy with a Rancho that has all the necessities for us and our guests that include outdoor grilling with seating and a separate bath and outdoor shower. 
Then, we built a beautiful guest house for our friends to enjoy. This includes two large separate apartments that we can even rent out when our friends are not here. In fact, last year the rental income alone was in excess of $12,000 - not to mention the US Tax advantages we received.

Finally, after a couple of good years of having great rainy seasons, the efforts of our landscaping in our yard is starting to take hold and look outstanding. Now, we are talking about almost 2 acres of land here. 

Now, please take some time and read the specific details that we have provided:  Click the tab above for complete details

After you see what we have to offer and I am sure you will find it a great value.
