Turnkey Guest Home + Development-Ready Lot with Panoramic Views — Vistas al Río Grande, Guácimo de Atenas
$339,000 | 1 Bed / 1 Bath | 62m² Home | 7,205m² Lot
Perched above the Río Grande valley with sweeping views stretching toward the mountains and all the way to San José on a clear day, this property offers a rare combination: a beautifully finished, move-in-ready one-bedroom home plus nearly three-quarters of a hectare (1.78 acres) of usable land for a future main residence, pool, or shared amenity area.
The Home
Elevated on a stilted foundation for maximum breeze and views, this 62m² modern home features a striking angular red metal roof with warm hardwood soffits, vaulted teak-paneled ceilings, and an open-concept kitchen and living area. The kitchen comes fully equipped with a large island, quartz countertops, built-in cooktop and oven, and a full-size refrigerator. The spacious bedroom opens onto a private covered balcony with unobstructed valley and mountain views — a perfect spot for morning coffee or sunset watching. The bathroom is finished with quartz counters, a walk-in shower, and matching wood cabinetry. A separate laundry room with washer and dryer, plus covered parking underneath the home, rounds out the practical layout. This unit is ideal as a guest house, caretaker's quarters, or short/long-term rental while a larger main home is built on the property.
The Land
The 7,205m² lot is largely flat-to-gently-sloped and almost entirely usable, already partially landscaped with young palms, mature fruit trees, and ornamental plantings lining the graded driveway. Two separate entrances provide flexibility for the current home and a future build — ideal for a larger primary residence, pool, or shared pool/amenity area serving both structures. Panoramic views extend across the Río Grande canyon, the surrounding mountain ranges, and toward the Central Valley and San José in the distance.
Location
Located in the desirable Vistas al Río Grande sector of Guácima de Atenas, known for its cooler mountain-edge microclimate, mature landscaping, and proximity to Atenas town while offering privacy and elevation above the valley floor.
