Where Architecture Meets the Land | Contemporary Luxury Estate in Atenas

$1,400,000.00

Some properties are designed to be admired.

Others are designed to be lived.

Perched atop one of Atenas’ rolling hills, this private ranch estate captures sweeping views across the Central Valley toward the mountains surrounding San José. From sunrise over the pastures to evenings beside the pool, every part of the property invites a slower rhythm—one centered on open space, fresh air, and the quiet satisfaction of country living.

Set on 42,847 square meters (10.6 acres) of gently rolling countryside, the estate has been thoughtfully developed as a fully functioning ranch. Whether your vision includes horses, cattle, hobby farming, or simply the luxury of owning significant acreage just minutes from town, the infrastructure is already in place.

Key Features

At the heart of the property sits a spacious two-story residence designed for comfortable family living and entertaining. Expansive living and dining areas open naturally toward the outdoor spaces, where a large swimming pool and covered rancho overlook the surrounding landscape—an ideal setting for afternoons with family, evenings with friends, or simply taking in the ever-changing mountain views.

The home’s thoughtful floor plan offers privacy for both owners and guests. The guest bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, while the entire upper floor is dedicated to an expansive primary suite featuring a generous bath with Jacuzzi, private terrace, and elevated views stretching across the ranch and beyond.

Supporting the lifestyle is an impressive collection of ranch improvements rarely found together on a single property. A caretaker’s home near the entrance provides on-site convenience, while a large detached garage offers abundant parking, workshop space, and storage. Working cattle corrals, fenced grazing areas, rolling pastures, and established ranch infrastructure create a property equally suited for livestock, horses, or a variety of agricultural pursuits.

Water is supplied by an artisanal well serving both the residence and ranch, with public water service also available to the property.

Location and Lifestyle

Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the estate is remarkably accessible—only minutes from downtown Atenas and moments from Route 27, providing convenient access to San José, Escazú, Juan Santamaría International Airport, and Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast.

But perhaps what makes this property most compelling isn’t simply what it is today—it’s what it has the potential to become.

Atenas, Costa Rica is located a short, thirty-minute drive from the Juan Santamaria International Airport, forty-five minutes from the capital city of San Jose, and forty-five minutes to an hour from an array of world-class, Pacific coast beaches.

Often touted as one of the world’s best climates, Atenas’s daytime temperatures range from the mid 80s Fahrenheit to nighttime lows in the upper 50s. Blessed with a prime location, amazing natural vistas, and superb climate, it’s no wonder that Atenas is such an attractive place to live.

Additional Information

Exceptional estates are rarely defined by perfection. They are defined by the quality of the land, the strength of their foundations, and the vision of those who care for them. Here, the most difficult elements have already been assembled: panoramic views, productive land, mature trees, established infrastructure, and a setting that is increasingly difficult to replicate.

For the buyer who appreciates stewardship as much as ownership, this is an opportunity to thoughtfully elevate an already remarkable property into one of Atenas’ truly distinguished country estates.

Adding even greater flexibility, the owner is open to discussing owner financing and other creative purchase proposals, making this exceptional offering worthy of serious consideration.
