Tucked away within an intimate gated community just off Calle Carrizal, this exceptional hillside property offers a rare opportunity to create the estate you’ve always imagined. Surrounded by coffee plantations at an elevation of approximately 3,200 feet above sea level, the setting enjoys one of Atenas’ most desirable climates while panoramic views stretch across the Central Valley to the skyline of San José beyond.

Set on an expansive 8,315 m² (2.05-acre) parcel, the property is already thoughtfully improved with a beautifully finished one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest casita, swimming pool, and covered rancho—allowing you to enjoy the property from day one while designing and building the custom residence you’ve always envisioned.

Offering exceptional privacy, breathtaking views, and one of the finest building sites in the area, this is an extraordinary opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Atenas’ most peaceful rural settings.

Whether you’re planning your forever home, a luxury retreat, or a multigenerational family estate, this remarkable property provides both the inspiration and the foundation to make that vision a reality.

Key Features
