What if you could have the privacy and freedom of a countryside estate without giving up the convenience of being only minutes from town?
Welcome to an exceptional property in the Atenas countryside, where sophisticated residential living meets the space, privacy and possibilities of a small private farm.
Offered at US$1,900,000, this beautifully finished and furnished residence sits on approximately 15,404 m² of land, creating a rare combination of luxury, nature and usable acreage just 10 minutes from central Atenas.
The moment you arrive, the property feels different.
Instead of a conventional residential lot, you enter an expansive, beautifully landscaped setting where the home is surrounded by tropical gardens and generous open space.
The residence was designed around the Costa Rican indoor-outdoor lifestyle, with an emphasis on natural flow between the interior living spaces, terraces, pool and surrounding landscape.
And the best part?
There is room to do much more.
The approximately 3.8 acres provide ample space for a small ranch, orchard, agricultural project, additional structures or other ventures, subject to applicable zoning and approvals.
The residence features approximately 465 m² of construction, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including additional service quarters.
The craftsmanship is one of the property's standout features.
Throughout the home you'll find:
Custom artisan woodwork
Beautiful handcrafted details
Custom ironwork
High-quality doors and windows
An oversized gourmet-style kitchen
Elegant finishes
The result is a residence that feels substantial without sacrificing warmth.
This isn't a cookie-cutter luxury home.
It has character.
The oversized kitchen is one of the home's defining interior spaces.
Beautiful woodwork and generous proportions make it practical for everyday family life while also providing the scale necessary for entertaining.
Whether you're preparing a quiet breakfast overlooking the gardens or hosting a large dinner, this is a kitchen designed to be used—not simply photographed.
Step outside and the character of the property changes again.
The home's infinity-style pool, expansive deck and lush tropical landscaping create a private resort-like environment directly outside the residence.
Imagine spending an afternoon here with nothing but:
Tropical gardens.
Warm Costa Rican air.
A beautiful pool.
Expansive private grounds.
And the quiet of the countryside.
The home was specifically designed to maximize this relationship between indoor and outdoor living.
The primary bedroom offers the privacy and comfort expected from a property at this level, including:
En-suite bathroom
Walk-in closet
Generous living space
It becomes a private retreat within the larger estate.
The land is arguably just as important as the house.
At approximately 15,404 m², there is enough room to think beyond the existing residence.
Depending on the buyer's objectives and applicable regulations, the property could potentially accommodate:
Create a multigenerational property with additional living spaces.
Use portions of the land for horses, livestock or other agricultural pursuits.
The acreage provides room for fruit trees, gardens or other agricultural uses.
Create additional outdoor amenities and spaces for family and guests.
Preserve the land and expand the estate gradually over time.
The possibilities are one of the reasons this property deserves a personal visit.
For a buyer who wants significantly more land, the seller is offering the possibility of acquiring approximately 17.5 additional acres.
That expanded purchase can include:
An additional guest home
A river
A horse-training area
This potentially transforms the property from an impressive private residence into something much closer to a true Costa Rican estate or equestrian/agricultural compound.
For the right buyer, that additional acreage could be the difference between owning a beautiful home and owning a genuine private country estate.
Another practical advantage is the property's accessibility.
The estate can be accessed from two public road entry points, providing flexibility that can be particularly valuable for a large property.
This also contributes to the property's potential for future uses, subject to professional due diligence.
The property isn't simply about aesthetics.
It also includes practical infrastructure designed for comfortable Costa Rican living.
Features include:
Solar power system
High-quality doors and windows
Large garage
Extensive additional parking
Private swimming pool
Furnished residence
These details make the property much more turnkey for an international buyer looking to arrive and begin enjoying the lifestyle immediately.
One of the property's greatest advantages is its location.
You get the tranquility and openness of the countryside while remaining only approximately 10 minutes from Atenas center.
That means restaurants, shops, services and everyday necessities remain convenient.
But when you return home, the environment changes completely.
You leave the town behind.
The gardens begin.
The land opens up.
And the property becomes your own private world.
There are many beautiful homes in Costa Rica.
But finding one that combines:
465 m² of finished construction
15,404 m² of land
4 bedrooms
3 bathrooms + service quarters
Infinity-style pool
Tropical gardens
Custom wood and iron craftsmanship
Solar power
Large garage and parking
Two public road access points
Only 10 minutes from Atenas
AND the option to acquire another 17.5 acres with a guest home, river and horse-training area
is considerably less common.
This is particularly well suited to someone who doesn't want to choose between luxury and land.
It could be ideal for:
Space for children, family, pets, gardens and future projects.
A furnished, established residence with significant land and infrastructure already in place.
Especially if the additional acreage is acquired.
With room for an orchard, small ranch or other agricultural ventures.
Luxury and comfort without being isolated from town.
A property that can evolve with the family over many years.
The photographs can show the house.
They can show the pool.
They can show the gardens.
But they cannot communicate the scale of the land or the feeling of privacy.
You need to walk the grounds.
Stand beside the pool.
See the relationship between the house and the landscape.
And then imagine what could be created on the remaining acreage.
If you're looking for a luxury countryside estate near Atenas with substantial land, expansion possibilities and genuine privacy, I strongly recommend putting this one on your shortlist.
