There is a gorgeous, 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest house as well, nicely appointed sporting its own view.</p<p>Oasis has the distinction of being built by the most sought after builder/designer team in the Dominical area.

They had their pick, and they had a predilection towards what they felt at the time could be classified as "remote". </p><p> Due to improvements in access & infrastructure, as well as quite a number of other expats that followed their lead, Colinas has lost its "remote" status, but it still remains one of the finer Lagunas properties. </p><p> Sitting atop the front ridge, the views of the pacific ocean are totally unobstructed. There are white water views up to Manuel Antonio, and there are year 'round sunset views. The ridge top setting assures a refreshing breeze 24/7. </p><p> The main house is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story affair with a gorgeous lap pool outside the lower terrace. The landscaping and appointments are all mature - sometimes one gets the feeling of an old world Spanish feel on the grounds. </p><p>The palm thatched palapa is perfectly situated to take advantage of the sunsets, perhaps with a drink in the hammock, or a barbecue with some friends. </p><p> The guest house is extremely well built and reflects the wonderful taste of the original owners in each detail. This is perfect for the occasional guest that stops by for a week or so. </p><p> An interesting point about Colinas de Lagunas is that the main house really isn't the main house. The sellers built what we now call the main house with a view to having IT be the guest house, and the main house was yet to be built on the upper building site. So there is plenty of room for expansion into a significant main house is the buyer of this property so desires. </p><p> Lagunas is well known as one of the longest settled expat enclaves from all points of the globe. Colinas is among the finest available in Lagunas.</p>]]> Gorgeous Guapil http://www.hotcostaricarealestate.com/listing-gorgeous%2Bguapil-422.html NDIyLTIwMTAtMDMtMDkgMTU6MzU6NTU= Northern view of Manuel Antonio.<span class="field_caption">Full Description</span>:&nbsp;<p>Dominical is being used as an example of truly fine living in Costa Rica.
