Key facts
About this property
This unique mountain estate spans 5.4 acres in Tinamastes, combining high-tech autonomy with a relaxed lifestyle, located just a short drive from Costa Rica's Pacific coast. The climate here is cooler than at the beach, enhanced by fresh valley breezes year-round, making air conditioning unnecessary for comfortable living. Designed for those who appreciate independence, wellness, and nature, the property is primarily powered by a robust 9 kW Sol-Ark solar system with 20 kW of battery storage, with the municipal grid as a backup option. High-speed internet is available throughout the estate, facilitating remote work and connectivity while enjoying a self-sustaining environment. The grounds feature a walkable landscape filled with orchards, gardens, and forested areas, with trails leading from the main residence through four established fruit orchards, past greenhouses, a cabin, and a chicken coop, down to a pristine river. The river's edge hosts private natural dipping pools, with a beautiful waterfall upstream for swimming and cold plunges. Wildlife is abundant, with daily visitors such as pizotes, agoutis, black squirrels, and iguanas, alongside a variety of birds. Troops of howler and white-faced capuchin monkeys occasionally pass through, highlighting the property's deep connection to the surrounding jungle ecology. The main residence consists of 1 bedroom and 1½ bathrooms, designed to maximize mountain views and cross-breezes, creating a bright and airy atmosphere that integrates indoor and outdoor living. This space is well-suited as a primary home for a couple or as a central hub for a larger estate. Outdoor living is emphasized with a large covered kitchen and dining pavilion featuring a BBQ, firepit, and ample lounge area (approximately 46 m² / 495 ft²), serving as a second living room ideal for gatherings and entertaining. Adjacent to this area is a natural stone saltwater lap pool (12.5 m × 3.5 m / 41 ft × 11.5 ft) that invites daily exercise and relaxation, complemented by a poolside pergola (about 22 m² / 245 ft²) for shaded lounging and enjoying sunset cocktails. For guests, a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest casita (25 m² / 270 ft²) provides privacy and comfort, suitable for visitors, family, or potential rental income, featuring its own closet/dry room. The property also includes workshops and specialty spaces for creative projects, homestead management, and secure storage, including a charming wood cabin with a woodworking shop and wet room for mycology and culturing.
