The Volcan area has one of the mildest climates in the world, averaging 75 degree days and 65 degree nights year round. The region is agricultural with many good roads. The addition of a new, 32 bed emergency hospital means that Volcan can now provide virtually all of the services that once could only be obtained in David City.
Located on the north side of the central Calle Estudiante road. As you approach the home the backdrop is the magnificent 11,400 foot Baru Volcano. Securely surrounding the home is a 6-foot high concrete wall and a steel main gate.
To your left is one of the two doors leading into the living and dining area. A feature of this home is the many windows that give the home a light, bright welcoming atmosphere.
The dining area accommodates a large table. To your right are several arches that lead to the kitchen. A 6 burner stove, tall refrigerator, and tiled and granite countertops make this a great place to prepare food while still being able to talk to your guests in the dining room.
Behind the kitchen is a passageway that leads to the ground floor bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom features hardwood closets.

The fieldstone tiling on the floors gives this home an almost French Provincial feel. A further enhancement of this feeling is the garden wall and trees that provide this home with peace and seclusion even in the heart of this bustling mountain city.
