A Mountain Sanctuary Overlooking Costa Rica’s Highest Peaks

This turn-key retreat rests quietly in Los Angeles de Rivas, one of the most naturally striking valleys at the foot of Chirripó. Set on 2 hectares of land, approximately 20,000 m² or 215,278 ft², the property offers both privacy and an uninterrupted connection to the surrounding landscape. Mature trees frame long views toward Costa Rica’s highest peaks and the vast expanse of La Amistad International Park, a protected area that shapes the rhythm of daily life with shifting light, cool mountain air and the presence of abundant wildlife. The home has been carefully maintained and is designed for ease, comfort and a feeling of calm. Two well-proportioned bedrooms allow for flexibility, whether for full-time living, hosting family or creating a dedicated space for work or creative pursuits. The bathroom is thoughtfully finished, with clean lines and a layout that supports the home’s simple, grounded aesthetic. Throughout the interior, natural textures and soft colors complement the mountain setting and keep the focus on the sense of quiet the property naturally provides. The main living space centers around a fireplace that brings warmth during the cooler evenings typical of the higher elevations of Rivas. Its presence adds an intimate tone to the room, making it a natural gathering point after time spent outdoors. Large windows and doors open toward the views, allowing the landscape to feel like an extension of the home. Breezes move easily through the space, and the sound of distant water and birdsong accompanies the slower pace of life here. The property itself is shaped by gentle slopes and open clearings, with several areas that could accommodate future expansions, gardens or quiet seating spaces. The land invites long walks, offering small shifts in perspective with each turn, from filtered forest light to wide views over the valley. The elevation provides a climate that is temperate year-round, cool in the mornings and evenings, and particularly pleasant during the green season when the hills deepen in color. Daily essentials are accessible in the nearby village of Rivas, yet the property maintains a strong sense of seclusion. Fiber optic internet allows for reliable connectivity when needed, making the home suitable for remote work or extended stays. The location also offers direct access to some of the region’s most sought-after outdoor experiences, whether exploring local trails, visiting neighboring fincas or beginning the well-known ascent toward the summit of Chirripó. This property is well-suited to those seeking a primary residence in a natural setting, a second home for long stays, or an investment in a quiet and visually remarkable part of Costa Rica. Its scale, orientation and thoughtful upkeep create an immediate sense of belonging, while the surrounding mountains serve as a constant reminder of the beauty and stillness that define this part of the southern zone. If you’d like, I can refine tone toward more ultra-luxury, eco-wellness retreat, or investment-forward positioning.
