Some places are designed to stand out.
Others are designed to belong.
Tucked quietly into the rolling countryside of Barrio Mercedes, just ten minutes from downtown Atenas, El Sol is one of those rare communities that seems almost hidden among the trees. Rather than reshaping the landscape, it was thoughtfully designed around it—preserving the mature Guanacaste, Cenízero, Cedro, and Higuerón trees that have defined this land for generations.
With just twenty-one estate homesites ranging from 7,000 to 15,000 square meters, El Sol embraces something increasingly difficult to find: space. Here, homes are thoughtfully separated by nature, creating room for gardens, guest houses, orchards, and the quiet privacy that makes everyday life feel a little slower and more intentional.
Key Features
Bordered by the Río Cajón to the south and Quebrada Cabuya to the north, the community remains connected to the natural rhythms of the surrounding countryside. Monkeys travel through the forest canopy, tropical birds fill the mornings with song, and gentle breezes move through the trees that continue to shape the character of the land.
Despite its peaceful setting, El Sol is only minutes from the cafés, restaurants, farmers market, healthcare, and conveniences of downtown Atenas, while nearby Highway 27 provides easy access to San José, the Pacific Coast, and Juan Santamaría International Airport.
Today, the vision is beginning to take shape. Construction of the first developer-built homes is scheduled to begin September 2026, while additional owners are designing custom residences that will reflect the same commitment to quality architecture, generous green space, and respect for the surrounding environment.
For those seeking more than simply a homesite, El Sol offers the opportunity to become part of a community designed around the land that inspired it—a place where nature still sets the pace, and where every home is intended to belong to the landscape rather than simply sit upon it.
