Tropical Contemporary Living with Sweeping Mountain Views

$735,000.00

Some homes are designed around the house. This one is designed around the view.

Set on 1.25 acres in Altos del Río, a boutique community of just six homes minutes from downtown Atenas, this tropical contemporary residence takes full advantage of its elevated setting, with sweeping views across the verdant Central Valley to the mountains beyond.

With approximately 286 m² (3,063 sq. ft.) of construction, the three-bedroom, three-bath home has been designed for the way people actually live in Costa Rica: open, comfortable, connected to the outdoors, and surrounded by nature.

Key Features

At the heart of the home, the kitchen, dining and living areas come together beneath vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceilings. Large windows and sliding glass doors bring in abundant natural light while opening the living spaces onto the covered terrace, pool and mountain views beyond.

The kitchen is generous and beautifully appointed, with handcrafted cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large center island and breakfast bar. A spacious pantry and utility room are conveniently located just off the kitchen.

The primary suite enjoys its own connection to the outdoors. A large sliding glass door opens directly toward the pool and mountain panorama, while the ensuite bath features double vanities and a walk-in shower. A well-organized walk-in closet completes the suite.

Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. One includes an ensuite bathroom, while the other has convenient access to the third full bath.

But much of the life here will happen outside.

The covered terrace flows naturally from the interior living spaces to the swimming pool, creating one large indoor-outdoor living environment. Beyond it, the property opens toward the mountains and Central Valley—a landscape that changes with the light throughout the day.

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

The 5,000 m² property offers something increasingly valuable: space. There is room for tropical gardens and fruit trees, room for pets to roam, and even the possibility of adding a guest house. A century-old fig tree near the entrance gives the property a sense of permanence long before the new home is complete.

A winding paver driveway leads through the property to a double carport, while the small scale of Altos del Río provides the privacy of country living without the isolation.

And downtown Atenas is only minutes away.

For buyers looking for contemporary design without sacrificing warmth, acreage without excessive maintenance, and privacy without giving up convenience, this home strikes a particularly appealing balance.

Modern tropical living, framed by one of the things Atenas does best—the view.
