It's located about 6 miles straight up the hill from Sarchi on Calle Matamoros, past San Pedro to just above a village (situated about 1 mile up from the church in Trojas) named San Jose de Trojas (Trojas for short).

[sorry ... no exchange.] Please contact me for more photos. $76,000 negotiable (no silly offers… thanks) Also for free, my car is 1992 Geo Tracker 4x4 Manual. [Had used for about 2 years.] The engine is very good. It was regularly maintained by a mechanic. About 2-3 new pistons were installed and other things. The local mechanic knows that it is a very good car and he has asked a few times to buy it but I prefer to give it away with the property. If you have a new RTV it would be worth about $4,000. Also, for free, very good (wood wrapped, sealed and safe) box trailer (you need new tires if you want to tow it). Previously it was used for transportation of DJ equipment. Located in Trojas that is above the famous artisan town of Sarchi (between Grecia and Naranjo). The Title is legal and the whole property is sold as one.

Corporation Tax is paid and up to date !! Approximately 42,000 ft2 (almost an acre) of land with 2 cozy chalets. Both are supplied with water and each has its own line of electricity.

San Jose International Airport to Trojas only 40-45 minutes. The western coast (Pacific) is perhaps 1.5 hours. There is a natural reforestation project, on top of the mountain and a couple of waterfalls. There is little traffic. The price is excellent but I can negotiate a little. I have owned the property since 2009. Neighbors are friendly and helpful.

Hello everybody! I m looking to meet dog lovers both near us ( in the Sarchi area), AND all over Costa Rica who might be interested in forming a little pet care co-operative of sorts! We could all have allot of fun, allow each other to travel while keeping each other’s dear mascotas safe and happy. Pet care could be on an exchange basis only, or on a fee basis, or any combination. We have two medium sized dogs, who are older and used to lots of company. We want to travel regularly for short periods (from two nights to two weeks max) to a variety of places in CR and also Panama. Anybody interested in a house/dog/pet exchange? I would be happy to take great care of your dogs and house while you travel, or to take a dog or two into our home while you travel. We have lots of experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, as well as many other types of animals. Pet pig? Llamas? Horses? Birds? Looking forward to your help brainstorming this!
