Location: Perez Zeledon, San Jose, Costa Rica
Tucked into the lush mountains of Miravalles in Pérez Zeledón, this unique 5+ acre property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, natural beauty, resort-style amenities, and convenient access to town. Surrounded by mature vegetation and beautifully landscaped grounds, the property feels like a secluded tropical retreat, yet downtown San Isidro de El General and its full range of services are only about 15 minutes away.
At approximately 3,000 feet above sea level, the property enjoys one of the area's most comfortable mountain climates, with pleasant daytime temperatures, cooler evenings, and refreshing breezes throughout much of the year. The elevation, abundant greenery, and extensive landscaping create an environment that feels distinctly removed from the heat and activity of the lower elevations.
The centerpiece of the property is a spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence offering more than 4,000 square feet of total construction. Designed for comfortable tropical living, the home features generous interior and outdoor spaces, large walk-in closets, and oversized walk-in showers. Quality construction includes U.S.-spec electrical wiring and plumbing, providing an additional level of familiarity and confidence for North American buyers.
Outdoor living is one of the property's defining features. A large resort-style swimming pool creates a private oasis surrounded by tropical landscaping, providing an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful mountain environment. Additional water features include tilapia fishing ponds, adding another dimension to the property's natural appeal and offering the possibility of producing fresh fish right at home.
The grounds have been extensively landscaped over the years and feature a wide variety of mature exotic fruit trees. The combination of productive plantings, ornamental landscaping, wooded areas, and water creates the feeling of an established private botanical retreat rather than simply a residential property.
Along one boundary, a year-round creek flows through the property, accompanied by a hiking trail that provides an easy way to explore the forested portions of the land. The creek, ponds, mature trees, and wooded areas attract wildlife and create numerous quiet spaces to enjoy the natural surroundings.
Despite its established landscaping and existing residence, the property still offers considerable potential for expansion. Three additional building sites provide opportunities for guest cabins, rental accommodations, a caretaker's residence, or other complementary structures. This flexibility makes the property equally interesting as a private family estate, a small hospitality or retreat project, or a residence with future income-producing potential.
Perhaps the property's greatest advantage is the balance it achieves between seclusion and accessibility. Once inside the grounds, the setting feels private, peaceful, and immersed in nature. Yet within approximately 15 minutes you can be in downtown San Isidro, with access to major supermarkets, shopping, restaurants, banking, medical care, and professional services.
For buyers searching for a substantial mountain property with a comfortable climate, abundant water, mature landscaping, resort-style amenities, and room to expand, this 5+ acre Miravalles estate offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find so close to the heart of Pérez Zeledón.
