PRIVATE COLONIAL COUNTRY ESTATE IN ATENAS — A RARE BLEND OF CHARACTER, LAND & LIFESTYLE

US$1,600,000 • 10,844 m² / 2.68 Acres • Main Residence • Guest House • Pool • Gardens • Horse/Animal Facilities • Panoramic Views

Some properties are simply homes. Others give you the feeling that you have discovered your own private piece of Costa Rica.

This exceptional country estate in Jesús, Atenas belongs firmly in the second category.

Set on approximately 10,844 m² / 2.68 acres of private, tranquil land, this distinctive property combines the charm of colonial Costa Rican architecture with generous living spaces, lush gardens, a private pool, a remodeled guest house and an impressive 5,000-square-foot stable/storage structure.

It is an unusually versatile property for someone looking for privacy, space, character and possibilities—without giving up the lifestyle advantages of Atenas.

A HOME WITH OLD-WORLD COSTA RICAN CHARACTER

The main residence has been designed around spacious, open living areas rather than a conventional modern floor plan.

Large rooms, multiple balconies and generous terraces create an atmosphere that feels more like a private hacienda than a typical suburban residence.

The principal home includes spacious bedrooms, living areas and an office that can also function as an additional bedroom, providing flexibility for family, guests or working from home.

The property also offers substantial pantry and cellar/storage areas—practical features that are increasingly difficult to find in newer homes.

It has character that cannot simply be added later.

YOUR OWN PRIVATE TROPICAL SETTING

Outside, the property opens into a beautiful combination of gardens, mature fruit trees and open land.

The private pool and surrounding terrace create an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the extraordinary Costa Rican climate.

Below the main residence is a rancho-style entertaining area with BBQ facilities, bathroom and changing area, creating a natural gathering space for family and friends.

Imagine:

Long lunches beneath the tropical canopy.

Afternoons around the pool.

Fresh fruit from your own trees.

Barbecues with family and friends.

Quiet mornings surrounded by gardens.

This is country living—but elevated.

2.68 ACRES OF POSSIBILITY

One of the property's biggest advantages is the land.

With approximately 10,844 m², you have room to enjoy the estate as it is today while retaining the flexibility to develop your own vision.

The property already incorporates:

• Gardens


• Fruit trees


• Agricultural area


• Organic kitchen garden


• Horse/cattle corral


• Large stable/storage structure


• Private well


• Large water-storage tank


• Pump system

That makes this particularly interesting for buyers who want something more than a landscaped residential lot.

You can actually live the country lifestyle here.

A REMARKABLE 5,000-SQUARE-FOOT OUTBUILDING

The additional structure is one of the property's most unusual features.

At approximately 5,000 square feet, it can serve as a substantial stable, agricultural facility, workshop, storage building or multifunctional space, depending on the buyer's intended use and applicable regulations.

For an equestrian enthusiast, hobby farmer, collector, entrepreneur or simply someone who wants serious storage and workspace, this is a feature rarely found alongside a finished luxury residence.

A REMODELED GUEST HOUSE

The property also includes a separate remodeled guest house of approximately 80–86 m², providing valuable independence for visitors, extended family, staff or potential rental use, subject to applicable regulations.

This creates an attractive separation between the principal residence and additional accommodation.

Your guests can have their own space.

Your family can have privacy.

And the property has another potential income-producing component if desired.

SELF-SUFFICIENT COUNTRY LIVING

The property includes its own private well, large water-storage tank and pump system, adding an important level of independence and practicality.

High-speed fiber-optic internet is also available, allowing the property to function equally well as a peaceful country residence or a home base for remote professionals.

That combination is increasingly important for international buyers who want the freedom of rural living without giving up modern connectivity.

THE ATENAS LIFESTYLE

Jesús and the surrounding Vista Atenas area offer a particularly attractive balance:

Privacy and countryside.

Mountain and valley views.

International residents.

Restaurants and amenities.

And convenient access to Atenas.

The area has also developed a growing reputation for upscale lifestyle experiences.

Nearby Elevé Restaurant is a good example. The restaurant currently holds approximately 4.9/5 from 90 local reviews, offering an upscale dining experience in Vista Atenas and contributing to the area's growing appeal as a destination for quality dining and residential living. Elevé Restaurant

For buyers considering Atenas as a long-term destination, this evolution of the surrounding area is an important positive.

A PROPERTY FOR MORE THAN ONE PURPOSE

This estate could be an exceptional fit for:

A PRIVATE FAMILY COMPOUND

Plenty of space for family, guests, gardens, animals and outdoor living.

AN EQUESTRIAN PROPERTY

The existing stable and corral infrastructure provide a strong starting point.

A SMALL AGRICULTURAL ESTATE

Fruit trees, gardens and agricultural areas are already part of the property.

A MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOME

The guest house provides independence for extended family.

A COUNTRY RETREAT

A private Costa Rican sanctuary with pool, gardens and panoramic surroundings.

A LIVE/WORK PROPERTY

The combination of internet connectivity, outbuildings and land provides unusual flexibility.

WHY THIS PROPERTY IS DIFFERENT

It is difficult to find a property that combines:

2.68 acres of private land

Colonial-style architecture

A substantial principal residence

Separate remodeled guest house

Private swimming pool

Rancho and BBQ entertaining area

Fruit trees and gardens

Organic kitchen garden

Agricultural area

Horse/cattle corral

Approximately 5,000-square-foot stable/storage structure

Private well and water-storage system

Fiber-optic internet

Panoramic views

Atenas countryside lifestyle

all in one property.

This isn't a property you buy because it looks like everything else.

You buy it because it doesn't.

COME SEE WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

The photographs can show the architecture.

They can show the pool.

They can show the gardens.

But they cannot fully communicate the scale, privacy and versatility of the land.

You need to walk the property.

See the guest house.

Stand beside the pool.

Explore the stable.

Walk through the gardens.

And imagine what you could create here.

That is when the opportunity becomes clear.
