Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
We are a semi retired couple. Herbert used to teach political science at Brooklyn College in NYC with a focus on African politics. I, Sevana, am an architect, born and trained in Sweden. On a trip to Africa – where I was privileged to work for some years – Herbert and I met. We now live in Washington DC – when we are not in Costa Rica!!
Why the Owner Chose Samara
In 2004 we went on vacation to CR for the very first time – and fell in love with the Carrillo/Samara area. Within 2 month we had bought a piece of land and I finally had the opportunity to design my very own house; a dream as an architect! It became my baby! It was so much fun, both designing it and coming down often to follow the construction. We were also so lucky to work with the best builder in the area.
We spent the first night in our new home in December 2007. Now we come down for a month twice a year. Everything is still so new and on each visit we have so far spent most of the time adding to the amenities, work on the garden and taking care of the maintenance that already is necessary so close to the salty ocean. Occasionally we also manage to snorkel at our favorite beach, the most beautiful along the entire coast, in my biased – but accurate – opinion.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Apart from being comfortable and superbly located – in terms of view, security, quiet and still so close to everything – our home is really a work of love. That is clearly felt by renters. As an example, a quote from our guest book says: “The photos of your home on the website don’t begin to tell the story of the magic that it encompasses. There wasn’t anything that we could have added to make it better.”
It is indeed our much beloved second home. It is also very functional – an important feature for most Swedish architects – yet stylish and decorated in a personal but contemporary fashion; not fancy, but good. For us – it is a gem – which we want to share!
