Visionary Potential — A Tropical Hacienda Estate in Atenas

$1,500,000.00

Hidden beneath towering palms and mature tropical gardens, this remarkable hacienda-style estate offers a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine one of Atenas’ grand private residences.

Spanning more than 10,000 square feet of construction, the property evokes the warmth and character of old-world architecture, with expansive open living spaces, Spanish tile roofs, colonial detailing, vaulted wood ceilings, wrought iron accents, and a timeless indoor-outdoor design that feels both elegant and deeply connected to its tropical surroundings.

Key Features

Large windows, sliding glass walls, and French-style doors flood the residence with natural light, creating an airy, inviting atmosphere throughout the home while framing views of the surrounding gardens, courtyards, and tropical landscape. With thoughtful restoration and modernization, this estate has the potential to become a truly spectacular showplace.

At the heart of the home, a spectacular family room with soaring wood ceilings creates a dramatic gathering space, while multiple dining and entertaining areas offer exceptional flexibility for large-scale hospitality, multigenerational living, retreats, or private estate use.

The residence features five expansive bedroom suites, four of which open to wrought iron French balconies overlooking the estate’s lush grounds and courtyards. Throughout the property, the architectural rhythm of covered walkways, stone paths, shaded terraces, and old-growth landscaping creates an atmosphere rarely found in newer construction.

Outdoors, the estate unfolds into a private resort-style setting with a large swimming pool, changing rooms, an oversized entertainment rancho with two bathrooms, and extensive areas designed for gatherings and relaxed tropical living.

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.
