About this property

A Nature-Immersed 3-Bedroom Home on a Large 2.45 Acre Lot With Carports, a Greenhouse, Tilapia Pond, MASSIVE Fruit Orchard, Orchid Garden, Koi Pond, Seasonal Creek and SO MUCH More!

LOCATION & ACCESS

A secluded estate tucked away from the world, this peaceful country retreat sits among the rolling hills of Stairway to the Stars in Tres Ríos. Privacy, tranquility, and sweeping Pacific Ocean views define the experience. Just 10 minutes from the Costanera Highway and 20 minutes from Playa Tortuga, you’ll enjoy uncrowded beaches, a turtle reserve, and the relaxed coastal lifestyle Costa Rica is known for – yet amenities, services and luxuries are also just around the corner!

From the Costanera highway, a 5km drive leads you through lush jungles, over racing crystal rivers, and around sharp ridges that bless with wonderful views of the mountains, Pacific Ocean and sprawling rainforests. You arrive at a secure gate, one of the two entry gates, which opens onto a climbing driveway with concrete strips and grass pavers. Beautifully sculpted tropical parklands surround the roadway as it leads toward the home and its nearby carport. Another carport sits a short distance away. A second entrance gate opens almost adjacent to the house.

The house sits about 220 meters or 720 feet above the Pacific Ocean – high enough to provide breathtaking views, cooler climate, and refreshing sea & mountain breezes.

THE HOUSE

Two sides of the home host covered patios designed to take full advantage of the views and the green jungle scenery an arms’ reach away.

An indigo-tiled swimming pool extends from the patio into the sun, offering panoramic views of jungle‑covered mountains and the Pacific horizon. An enveloping deck invites for a sunbake or evening lounge. The other part of the patio holds multiple eating areas, a lounge and a dramatic cantilevered wooden deck which extends into the treetops, capturing refreshing valley breezes and showcasing a stunning white‑water coastline.

THE VIEWS

The home is enveloped in a lowland tropical rainforest. These stunning jungles are visible in every direction & the resident macaws, toucans, sloths, blue morpho butterflies and other tropical creatures will surely make themselves known! Extending panoramas include rolling foothills, the Pacific Ocean, the wilds of Osa Peninsula and the mighty Térraba River delta.

THE GROUNDS

The estate is beautifully landscaped with hundreds of fruit trees, a tilapia pond at the orchard’s center, and a seasonal creek that reveals a charming waterfall for much of the year. A self‑contained greenhouse with raised concrete beds and programmable irrigation sits just steps from the home—ideal for year‑round gardening. Between the carport and the house lies a lush orchid garden surrounding a serene koi pond, home to tropical fish and two turtles.

Artistic man‑made cascades guide rainwater toward the tilapia pond or the street cuneta, ensuring efficient water flow throughout the property. The pond also offers space for raising ducks or geese, with room to add a chicken coop if desired.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Renovated in 2019, this turn‑key, energy‑efficient home features 12 solar panels and an LG battery, a leader in home inverter technology.
