Description

A PRIVATE COSTA RICAN ESTATE, WORKING COFFEE FARM & RIVERFRONT RETREAT

9.85 Acres • 850 m² of Construction • 7 Bedrooms • 5 Bathrooms • Infinity Pool • Coffee Plantation • River • Private Waterfall • Tennis Court

What if your Costa Rican home could be a luxury estate, private retreat, working coffee farm and family compound — all in one extraordinary property?

Welcome to a truly exceptional estate in Mercedes, Atenas, where elegant architecture, productive agriculture and untouched Costa Rican nature come together on nearly 10 acres of completely private land.

Offered at US$2,400,000, this remarkable property combines an expansive furnished residence with guest accommodations, a functioning coffee plantation, tropical gardens, a riverfront cabin, a private waterfall, recreational facilities and extensive infrastructure — creating an opportunity that is extraordinarily difficult to replicate.

THIS IS FAR MORE THAN A LUXURY HOME

The centerpiece is an approximately 850 m², beautifully furnished two-story residence designed for both sophisticated entertaining and relaxed tropical living.

The open-concept interior connects a fully equipped chef's kitchen with generous dining and living areas, opening directly onto the terrace and infinity pool overlooking the city and surrounding landscape.

The main residence provides:

• Three large private suites
• Multiple additional bedroom suites
• Five bathrooms
• Walk-in closets
• Chef's kitchen
• Spacious living and dining areas
• Marble and granite finishes
• Exotic hardwoods
• Custom ironwork
• Air conditioning
• Fully furnished interiors

The architecture and finishes create a feeling of understated luxury while the expansive grounds provide the privacy and space that make a property of this scale so unusual.

A HOME DESIGNED FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS & PRIVACY

The layout is particularly well suited to someone who wants a large private residence without sacrificing independence for guests.

Two additional independent wings each contain a one-bedroom, one-bathroom suite, while the estate also includes a fully furnished two-bedroom guesthouse.

That means the property can comfortably accommodate extended family, visiting friends, caretakers or guests while maintaining separation from the principal living areas.

For someone considering Costa Rica as a multigenerational destination, private retreat or second home, that flexibility is a major advantage.

THEN THE PROPERTY CHANGES CHARACTER

Step outside the main residence and the estate becomes something entirely different.

The property encompasses approximately 39,842 m² — nearly 10 acres — of landscaped grounds, agricultural land and natural habitat.

The land is completely fenced and located at the end of a private road, providing an unusual level of privacy for a property so close to the amenities of Atenas.

A beautiful stretch of the Río Cajón forms part of the property's boundary, creating a natural backdrop and an entirely different experience from the manicured gardens around the main residence.

YOUR OWN WORKING COFFEE FARM

One of the most unusual aspects of the estate is that it isn't simply surrounded by agricultural land.

It includes an operating coffee plantation with approximately 10,000 coffee plants, along with established equipment and an experienced crew.

The current offering is presented as a turn-key agricultural operation, creating the possibility of maintaining the coffee production as part of the property's lifestyle, investment or income strategy.

For a buyer coming to Costa Rica from abroad, this creates something particularly special:

You don't simply live on a coffee farm.

You can own and experience one.

THE RIVER IS PART OF YOUR BACKYARD

Follow the landscape toward the Río Cajón and the property becomes increasingly private and natural.

A beautifully constructed exotic-wood cabin overlooks the river and includes electricity, fresh water and a full bathroom.

Nearby, a picturesque trail follows the river for approximately 1 kilometer, leading through the natural landscape toward a spectacular private waterfall of approximately 80 feet / 24 meters.

There is also an additional hobbit-style structure near the river, adding an unexpected and memorable element to this already extraordinary estate.

This isn't simply landscaping.

It is an entire private natural environment contained within your property.

A TROPICAL ESTATE WITH ITS OWN FOOD GARDEN

The grounds have been extensively landscaped with mature gardens, expansive lawns and more than 200 fruit trees.

The property's fruit trees include:

Mango • Lemon • Lime • Banana • Tangerine • Orange • Coconut

This gives the estate a remarkable combination of ornamental landscaping and productive tropical agriculture.

And because the property includes its own private well feeding two 10,000-liter water tanks, water is supplied to the residence, guesthouse and landscaping.

YOUR OWN PRIVATE RECREATION DESTINATION

The estate continues to surprise.

Among the amenities is an Olympic-size tennis court, providing a rare recreational feature for a private residence in Costa Rica.

There is also a butterfly garden, landscaped grounds, paved internal roads and multiple areas designed to encourage outdoor living.

The result is less like owning a house and more like having your own private resort in the Costa Rican countryside.

A PROPERTY WITH MULTIPLE POSSIBLE LIVES

This estate could be enjoyed in several different ways.

A PRIVATE FAMILY ESTATE

A large primary residence with separate accommodations for family, guests and staff.

A MULTIGENERATIONAL RETREAT

Multiple independent suites and guest accommodations allow several generations to live and visit comfortably while maintaining privacy.

A PRIVATE CORPORATE OR EXECUTIVE RETREAT

The combination of luxury accommodations, recreation, nature and privacy creates an exceptional setting for hosting small groups.

A BOUTIQUE HOSPITALITY CONCEPT

The property's unique combination of luxury, coffee, river, waterfall and tropical gardens could provide an intriguing foundation for a highly personalized hospitality concept, subject to applicable zoning and permits.

A WORKING AGRICULTURAL ESTATE

For someone who appreciates the idea of producing something from the land, the existing coffee plantation provides an unusually tangible connection to Costa Rica's agricultural heritage.

OR SIMPLY YOUR OWN PRIVATE WORLD

Perhaps the most compelling option is to leave it exactly as it is:

A spectacular private residence surrounded by nature, coffee, river and tropical gardens.

THE OPPORTUNITY IS IN THE COMBINATION

There are luxury homes in Costa Rica.

There are coffee farms.

There are riverfront properties.

There are private estates.

There are properties with pools and tennis courts.

There are properties with guesthouses.

It is exceptionally rare to find all of these characteristics together.

That is what makes this property difficult to compare with an ordinary residential listing.

You aren't simply buying 850 m² of luxury construction.

You are acquiring an approximately 39,842 m² private estate with an established lifestyle infrastructure and functioning agricultural operation.

AND THERE IS ANOTHER REASON TO ASK FOR THE DETAILS

The seller is offering an unusually flexible opportunity.

The property can be purchased turn-key, including the furniture, appliances and coffee-farming equipment, and the buyer may have the option of retaining the existing employees.

The seller has also indicated a willingness to consider seller financing with 30% down at 6% interest for five years, and a property trade involving real estate in North America or Europe may also be considered. All terms should be confirmed directly with the seller and subject to formal agreement.

For a qualified buyer, those possibilities make a conversation about this property particularly worthwhile.

A PRIVATE ESTATE IN ATENAS

Atenas offers one of the Central Valley's most desirable combinations of countryside living, community, accessibility and proximity to San José and the Pacific coast.

This property takes that lifestyle to another level.

Privacy without isolation.

Luxury without sacrificing nature.

Agriculture without giving up comfort.

Recreation without leaving home.

And a river and private waterfall that most luxury properties could never reproduce.

COME EXPERIENCE IT

Photographs can show the architecture.

They can show the pool.

They can show the coffee plantation.

But they cannot fully communicate what it feels like to walk from an elegant luxury residence into a tropical garden, follow a trail along the river and discover your own waterfall.

That is something you need to experience.

If you are searching for a luxury estate in Costa Rica that offers significantly more than a conventional home, I strongly recommend requesting the complete information package and arranging a private tour.
