Rare Mountain Retreat with Eco-Lodge Potential

Set within a pristine 5-hectare private estate near the majestic Cerro La Vieja, this exceptional ecological retreat offers a rare blend of mountain tranquility, cooler highland temperatures, and breathtaking panoramic views. Originally developed by renowned Smithsonian scientist Dr. Ross Robertson, the property features a thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom main residence positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape, together with a separate caretaker’s cottage providing convenient on-site management and security. The estate’s natural setting is one of its defining assets, with private access to pristine waterfalls and refreshing natural pools, as well as close proximity to a local butterfly farm. The generous grounds also offer significant potential for future hospitality development, making the property particularly well suited for a private retreat, exclusive eco-lodge, or premium nature-focused Airbnb. Beyond its lifestyle and investment appeal, the property carries a meaningful conservation purpose. The current owner is an NGO committed to establishing a biological corridor for the endangered spider monkey. 100% of the proceeds from the sale will directly support wildlife protection and reforestation initiatives, allowing the next owner to acquire an exceptional property while contributing to a lasting environmental legacy.
