US$2,195,000 • 3,306 m² / 0.82 Acres • 755 m² Construction • 8 Bedrooms • 8 Bathrooms • Heated Infinity Pool • 3 Guest Homes • Established Vacation-Rental Operation • Panoramic Central Valley Views

Some homes are beautiful. Some have spectacular views. Some generate income.

Very few can credibly offer all three.

Welcome to The Glass Farmhouse, an exceptional architectural estate perched above Atenas in the prestigious Vista Atenas community.

This one-of-a-kind property combines a striking modern primary residence with three beautifully designed tropical guest homes, creating a rare opportunity for a buyer seeking an extraordinary personal residence with an established hospitality component.

ARCHITECTURE THAT MAKES A STATEMENT

The main residence is unlike the typical Costa Rican luxury home.

Designed around an open floor plan and extensive glass, The Glass Farmhouse captures extraordinary views from virtually every major living space.

From the property, the panorama stretches across Atenas and the Central Valley toward San José, with distant mountain and volcanic landscapes adding another dramatic layer to the setting.

And after sunset, the view becomes something entirely different.

The lights of the Central Valley transform the landscape into a sea of lights below.

The effect is spectacular.

A MODERN HOME DESIGNED FOR INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING

The main residence combines clean contemporary architecture with warm tropical materials and carefully considered outdoor spaces.

The chef-quality kitchen features:

Quartz countertops

High-end modern cabinetry

Stainless-steel appliances

Clean architectural lines

The formal dining and living areas flow naturally toward the outdoor entertaining spaces.

There is even a drop-down movie projector room, adding an unexpected entertainment element to an otherwise highly sophisticated residence.

THE POOL IS THE CENTERPIECE

Step outside and the architecture gives way to the tropical landscape.

A large heated infinity-style pool overlooks the Central Valley, surrounded by expansive deck and patio areas.

The outdoor spaces combine modern design with tropical elements, including distinctive bamboo-style ceilings and carefully integrated ambient lighting.

This is the kind of setting that works equally well for:

Quiet mornings

Afternoon pool days

Cocktails at sunset

Entertaining friends

Or simply watching the lights of San José come alive below

The view isn't an amenity.

It is the experience.

A PRIMARY RESIDENCE WITH REAL LUXURY

The main home provides substantial private living space, including an impressive primary suite and an additional downstairs bedroom suite.

The primary bedroom features:

Panoramic views

Luxurious en-suite bathroom

Soaking tub

Extra-large walk-in closet

The lower level includes another bedroom suite and a large office, creating flexibility for guests, family or remote work.

THREE GUEST HOMES — AND AN ESTABLISHED INCOME STREAM

This is where the property becomes particularly interesting.

Adjacent to the main residence are three separate tropical-style guest accommodations, each with its own character and design.

The largest guest home includes:

3 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms

It features extensive custom finishes, distinctive artisanal wood ceilings and furnishings/decorative elements sourced from around the world.

There is also:

A private guest studio

with its own eclectic finishes and modern bathroom.

And closer to the property's entrance is:

A 1-bedroom / 1-bath casita

which is ideal for additional guests, extended family or a caretaker.

THE INCOME STORY

The three guest homes are not merely “potential rentals.”

According to the current listing, they have been operating successfully as vacation rentals for approximately seven years, with a history of strong guest reviews and established rental income.

That creates a very attractive proposition:

Live in the Glass Farmhouse while the guest accommodations generate income.

Or take the concept further.

The buyer could potentially explore:

Luxury vacation rentals

Boutique hospitality

Multi-generational living

Corporate retreats

Wellness experiences

Extended-stay accommodations

Or a combination of personal use and hospitality income

The precise income, occupancy and operating expenses should naturally be verified during due diligence.

A PRIVATE COMPOUND — NOT JUST A HOUSE

The layout creates something that is increasingly difficult to find in Costa Rica:

A genuine private residential compound.

The central gardens and landscaped pathways connect the main residence with the guest accommodations, while the property provides parking for approximately five vehicles.

The result is a property that can comfortably accommodate:

Family

Friends

Guests

Vacation renters

Staff or caretakers

without compromising the privacy of the primary residence.

THE VISTA ATENAS LIFESTYLE

The property sits within Vista Atenas, one of the area's most established upscale residential communities.

Atenas itself is approximately 10 minutes away, providing access to restaurants, shopping, services and everyday necessities, while San José and Juan Santamaría International Airport remain accessible by road. The listing also notes that Costa Rica's Pacific beaches are approximately an hour away.

The surrounding area is becoming increasingly attractive to buyers seeking a combination of:

Climate

Views

Privacy

International community

Upscale dining

Outdoor lifestyle

and convenient access to the Central Valley.

Nearby Elevé Restaurant, for example, has established a strong reputation for upscale dining and currently carries a 4.9/5 local rating from approximately 90 reviews. Its presence is another indication of the increasingly sophisticated lifestyle developing around Vista Atenas.

TURN-KEY FROM DAY ONE

This property is being offered as a turn-key opportunity, with the primary residence and guest accommodations already designed, furnished and operating as a cohesive estate.

For an international buyer, that can be enormously valuable.

Rather than spending years:

Designing a luxury home

Building guest accommodations

Developing landscaping

Creating a rental operation

Establishing reviews

And figuring out how to monetize the property

you can acquire an existing platform and begin enjoying it immediately.

WHO IS THIS PROPERTY FOR?

This estate is particularly compelling for someone who wants:

A PRIMARY LUXURY RESIDENCE

Live in one of Atenas' most dramatic view locations.

INCOME

Maintain an established vacation-rental operation.

A FAMILY COMPOUND

Accommodate multiple generations while preserving independence.

A HOSPITALITY BUSINESS

Develop the existing rental operation into a more substantial boutique concept.

AN INVESTMENT + LIFESTYLE PROPERTY

Enjoy the property personally while generating revenue from the additional residences.

WHY THIS ONE DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK

It is difficult to replicate the combination of:

Architectural modernism

Exceptional Central Valley views

755 m² of construction

3,306 m² of land

8 bedrooms

8 bathrooms

Heated infinity pool

Luxury primary residence

Three separate guest accommodations

Established vacation-rental history

Five-car parking

Beautiful tropical gardens

Vista Atenas location

Approximately 10 minutes to Atenas

all within one property.

This isn't simply a luxury home with guest houses.

It is a private luxury compound with an income-producing hospitality component.

COME EXPERIENCE THE VIEW

Photos can communicate the architecture.

They can show the pool.

They can show the guest homes.

But they cannot fully communicate what it feels like to stand above Atenas and watch the Central Valley stretch toward San José.
