Description
Located in the heart of Canaan de Rivas, this turn-key two-bedroom, one-bathroom home offers an easy blend of comfort, simplicity and connection to the landscape. Set on a 1,500 m² (16,145 ft²) parcel, the property sits within walking distance to Batsú Restaurante and the Butterfly Dome, yet feels quietly removed, with open skies and uninterrupted views toward the highest peaks of the Talamanca range.
The home is thoughtfully laid out, with an inviting flow between the indoor living spaces and the covered outdoor patio. From here, the mountains feel close enough to study. Morning light moves slowly across the ridgelines, and in the late afternoon the colors deepen as the valley cools. This vantage point is one of the property’s defining qualities, giving the house a sense of calm presence throughout the day.
Inside, the spaces are practical and comfortable, designed for full-time living as well as an easy transition to a rental or Airbnb model. The bedrooms are well proportioned, the bathroom is efficiently arranged, and the kitchen, dining and living areas share a natural coherence that makes the home feel larger than its footprint. High-speed fiber optic internet provides strong connectivity for remote work or streaming, a dependable asset in this part of the southern zone.
The property receives its water from the ASADA of Canaan, a legally registered and highly reliable source. This, combined with steady electrical service and existing infrastructure, creates a low-maintenance environment for year-round living. Outdoors, the spacious yard extends behind the house, offering a sense of openness that is increasingly rare in the village center. Mature plantings and a generous grassy area frame the mountains in every direction. A storage shed provides practical space for tools and equipment, and the remaining land offers additional buildable area for a future guest casita, studio, or expanded garden.
The location is one of the home’s strongest assets. Canaan remains one of the most sought-after communities in the Chirripó foothills, known for its trailheads, restaurants, organic farms and small-village charm. From the property, daily errands, coffee, and local produce are a short walk away, while many of the region’s most visited attractions are just minutes by car. The rhythm here is slow and grounded. Even simple routines—stepping out onto the patio with morning coffee, listening to the valley wake, watching clouds move along the peaks—take on a quiet significance.
With its walk-to-everything convenience, clean lines, reliable utilities and exceptional views, this home functions seamlessly as a primary residence, an income-producing rental, or a private mountain hideaway for friends and family. It is a rare combination in Canaan: fully turn-key, well located, and ready for immediate enjoyment.
