$825,000

Fully Furnished

Some homes are designed to impress.

Others are designed to restore.

Hidden behind handcrafted wooden doors imported from Bali, this extraordinary residence is one of those rare homes that immediately slows your pace. Water, stone, tropical gardens, and open-air pavilions come together to create an environment where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony. Every path, terrace, and gathering space invites you outdoors, while every room feels intentionally connected to the surrounding landscape.

Set on 3,812 square meters (nearly one acre) of beautifully terraced gardens overlooking the mountains of Atenas, this remarkable estate offers a lifestyle centered on beauty, tranquility, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.

Key Features

The journey begins as you pass through magnificent 400-year-old Balinese double doors, entering a private sanctuary unlike anything else in Atenas. Contemporary European design blends effortlessly with rich natural materials, creating interiors that feel sophisticated, warm, and timeless. The open-concept living and dining areas are filled with natural light, featuring custom wood cabinetry, marble countertops, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that blur the line between inside and out.

Designed to embrace Costa Rica’s year-round climate, the outdoor living spaces become the heart of the home. A sparkling saltwater swimming pool is surrounded by expansive terraces, tropical gardens, and inviting spaces for lounging, dining, or entertaining. Whether enjoying a quiet sunrise with a cup of coffee or hosting an evening gathering beneath the stars, the surrounding mountain views provide an unforgettable backdrop.

The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with generous closet space and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. A second bedroom suite offers its own private bathroom, providing comfort and privacy for family and guests alike.

A separate pavilion, currently used as an artist’s studio, offers exceptional flexibility and can easily serve as a third bedroom, home office, or creative workspace. Nearby, the stunning glass-walled meditation and exercise pavilion creates a serene environment for yoga, fitness, reading, or simply enjoying the surrounding gardens in quiet reflection.

Location and Lifestyle

The beautifully landscaped grounds unfold across a series of natural stone terraces filled with mature tropical plantings, creating the feeling of a private botanical retreat. Beyond the gardens, a hillside planted with coffee trees offers the opportunity to cultivate your own Costa Rican coffee while adding another authentic connection to the land.

Located just 30 minutes from Juan Santamaria International Airport and 45 minutes from San José, Atenas is celebrated for its perfect spring-like climate, with daytime temperatures in the mid-80s and cool evenings.

This tranquil community offers access to grocery stores, restaurants, a vibrant farmer’s market, and more, all while being less than an hour from Pacific coast beaches.

Additional Information

Additional improvements include an oversized covered carport, a large storage bodega, a separate garden bodega, and a former guard house complete with a bathroom. Whether transformed into a guest studio, caretaker’s quarters, workshop, or additional storage, this versatile space offers tremendous potential for future use.
