Boutique Jungle Retreat | Private Family Compound & Income Property | Atenas, Costa Rica

$325,000

Tucked beneath towering Guanacaste trees in the peaceful countryside of Pan de Azúcar, just ten minutes from downtown Atenas, this unique property offers something increasingly difficult to find—a place where nature, privacy, and opportunity come together in perfect balance.

Whether envisioned as a boutique guest lodge, a thriving Airbnb investment, a wellness retreat, or a private family compound, the property has already proven its versatility. Three thoughtfully designed cabins surround a spacious pool and expansive sun deck, creating a setting where mornings begin with birdsong, afternoons are spent beneath the forest canopy, and evenings end with spectacular Pacific sunsets.

Key Features

Three Individual Cabins

The property consists of three separate accommodations thoughtfully positioned around the pool and outdoor gathering spaces.

The primary cabin features two bedrooms and two levels of living. The open-concept main floor combines the living room, dining area, kitchen, and full bathroom into a bright, welcoming space. Large sliding glass doors open onto a covered terrace overlooking the swimming pool, sun deck, and magnificent old-growth Guanacaste trees.

Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms enjoy elevated views into the surrounding forest, while the primary bedroom opens onto a private balcony where wildlife often becomes part of the morning routine.

The two additional cabins offer an equally inviting design. Each features an open-concept living area, kitchen, modern bathroom with walk-in shower, and dramatic two-story vaulted ceilings. Loft-style bedrooms are framed by oversized picture windows that immerse guests in the surrounding tropical landscape, while covered terraces extend the living space outdoors.

Resort-Style Outdoor Living

Life here naturally centers around the expansive wooden pool deck.

Surrounded by mature tropical gardens and enormous Guanacaste trees, the swimming pool becomes a peaceful gathering place for guests, family, or friends. Comfortable lounge areas invite lazy afternoons, while the surrounding forest provides remarkable privacy and attracts an abundance of wildlife, including Capuchin monkeys, motmots, toucans, parrots, butterflies, and countless tropical birds.

As the day winds down, the distant Pacific horizon often delivers unforgettable sunsets that transform the property into something truly magical.

 

Location and Lifestyle

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

Flexible Income Potential

Originally developed as a successful eco-friendly bed and breakfast, the property’s layout lends itself to numerous possibilities.

Continue operating as a boutique guest lodge, create a collection of high-performing Airbnb rentals, establish a wellness or yoga retreat, or simply enjoy the flexibility of a private family compound where multiple generations—or visiting friends—can stay comfortably while maintaining their own private spaces.

An additional utility building could also be converted into another guest suite, studio, or caretaker’s quarters, providing even greater flexibility for future expansion.
