A Home Within a Garden | Artistic Mountain Hacienda Above Atenas

Beyond the gardens, openings through the mature vegetation reveal beautiful mountain and valley views.

At the center of it all is an artistic hacienda-style residence with approximately 3,000 square feet of construction. Warm wood ceilings, exposed beams, handcrafted doors, stonework, colorful tile, stained-glass details, and an impressive stone fireplace give the home a personality entirely its own.

The main residence offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite. The living and dining areas sit beneath soaring wood ceilings and connect beautifully with the outdoors. Sliding glass doors open the living room almost completely to the covered terrace, allowing the interior, gardens, and distant views to become one continuous living space.

A separate kitchen continues the home’s handcrafted character with extensive wood cabinetry, tiled countertops, and generous workspace.

Below the main residence, an independent one-bedroom guest casita provides its own kitchen and bright living area surrounded by greenery—ideal for visiting family and friends or longer-term guests who appreciate having a private space of their own.

Yet the property extends beyond its boundaries.

The four homeowners share a common parcel woven with walking trails, fruit trees, a coffee grove, and an open-air rancho used for yoga, relaxation, gatherings, or simply enjoying the surrounding forest. Coffee harvested from the community grove is shared among the owners—a small detail that says quite a bit about the unusual character of this little mountain enclave.

At this higher elevation, the climate is noticeably cooler than the valley below, while downtown Atenas remains approximately 15 minutes away. Public water is complemented by a community well, and the home’s insulated roof helps maintain comfortable interior temperatures throughout the year.

This isn’t a manicured new-build landscape waiting for time to give it character.
