Description

Self-Sustaining Mountain Estate for Sale in Costa Rica — 7.63 acres of pristine mountain land where pure water flows, wildlife thrives, and self-reliance is not just possible, but woven into the very design of the property.

Perched at 2,500 feet in the harmonious mountain village of Serenity Gardens, Costa Rica, this mountain property for sale offers a perfect year-round climate — warm but never hot, fresh but never cold — ideal for abundant food production and comfortable living. Pure mountain water flows from both a private spring and the village water system, ensuring an abundant supply year-round. A modern hydroelectric system and solar panels provide full off-grid living, while grid connection and generator backup offer additional energy security.

At the heart of the property, a breathtaking 30-foot waterfall spills into a private river, crossed by a pedestrian suspension bridge. Multiple serene ponds reflect the sky, and established hiking trails wind through fertile gardens, mature fruit orchards, and five acres of thriving reforestation — now in its third year — planted with over 1,000 native trees from 13 species to restore vital wildlife corridors.

Structures on this estate property in Costa Rica include:

Main home: 2,300 sq ft, 2 bed / 1 bath, remodeled in 2022, with direct waterfall views, jacuzzi, dry room, and open-air chef’s kitchen. Equipped with a Cuisinart Gallery Collection oven with steam bake, air fry, and convection bake, a 4-burner induction cooktop, and propane grill. Additional café kitchen on the main floor.
Guest home: 1 bed / 1 bath, remodeled in 2022.
Creative studio: 1 bath, built in 2022 beside the pond, currently used as an art studio.
Workshop with attached greenhouse: ideal for homesteading, agriculture, or creative projects.

Multiple additional homesites are ready for expansion, making this property ideal for a family compound, rental income, retreat center, or sustainable community in Costa Rica.

The land features an exceptional diversity of mature producing fruit trees, including manzana de agua, mandarins, oranges, mango, papaya, starfruit, soursop, guava, jackfruit, cacao, bananas, mangosteen, miracle fruit, fig, and more. New plantings include dragon fruit, nutmeg, vanilla, jaboticaba, neem, cinnamon, pomegranate, and rare tropical varieties—ensuring year-round harvests and long-term sustainability.

Life here is peaceful, secure, and deeply connected to nature. The soundtrack is birdsong, howler monkeys, frogs, and the constant music of flowing water. A local farmer delivers fresh organic produce, eggs, cheese, and farm products weekly, while traditional Costa Rican meals can be ordered from neighboring families. Shared community expenses are just $600 per year, covering water system maintenance, road upkeep, garbage collection, and shared land taxes.

Located just 45 minutes from the Pacific Coast and San Isidro, this investment property in Costa Rica offers privacy without isolation. Whether envisioned as a private family estate, multi-family homestead, or personal sanctuary, this is more than real estate—it is a living ecosystem, a self-sustaining retreat, and a foundation for a lasting future in Costa Rica.
