Finca Bellon-Handcrafted Eco Home in the Chirripó Highlands

Designed and built by the owner of Orquídea Eco Design — a Costa Rica-based architecture and natural building company established in 2020 — this one-of-a-kind property reflects a deep understanding of both craftsmanship and the land itself. Thoughtfully created for comfortable highland living, the home combines natural materials, functional design, and a strong connection to its surroundings. The house features durable lime plaster walls, an exotic timber-framed roof with asphalt shingles, and a warm, handcrafted interior rarely found in today’s market. The spacious main living area flows into a well-equipped kitchen centered around a large island, ideal for everyday living or entertaining guests. The primary bedroom includes a custom king-sized bed, while a full bathroom serves the main floor. An additional attic space offers flexibility for a second bedroom, studio, or extra storage. The property itself is rich in natural beauty and practical infrastructure. Two creeks run through the land year-round, adding movement and tranquility to the setting, while a bridge allows easy access across the terrain. Two abundant natural springs provide reliable water, and established fruit orchards offer seasonal harvests throughout the year. The access road is gravel with concrete paving on steeper sections, and underground electrical lines combined with engineered rainwater drainage create clean, low-impact infrastructure designed to minimize erosion. A gated entrance adds both privacy and security. Located just 10 minutes from Rivas, the property enjoys convenient access to restaurants, shops, and essential services while maintaining a peaceful mountain atmosphere. Chirripó National Park — home to Costa Rica’s highest peak — is only 30 minutes away, while Los Gigantes Nature Reserve, known for its waterfalls, old-growth forest, and hiking trails, is approximately 25 minutes from the property. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully crafted mountain home immersed in the natural beauty of the Chirripó highlands.
