# 5.4 ACRES – Solar-Powered 1-Bedroom Home with Guest Casita, Pool, Orchards, River & Waterfall | Tinamastes, Costa Rica
**A Regenerative Mountain Sanctuary Steps from the Pacific**
In the cooler elevations of Tinamastes—where valley breezes keep temperatures several degrees lower than the coast and air conditioning becomes unnecessary—sits a fully realized regenerative homestead on 5.4 pristine acres. This rare property seamlessly merges cutting-edge self-sufficiency with refined tropical living, offering independence, wellness, and deep nature connection to buyers seeking something beyond conventional resort living.
**The Land: Orchard, Jungle, River & Waterfall**
The grounds unfold as a walkable landscape of mature fruit orchards, productive gardens, and thriving forest. A network of trails connects the main residence through four established fruit tree zones, past functioning greenhouses, a wood cabin, and chicken coop, descending to a pristine river where natural stone pools and an upstream waterfall create private sanctuaries for swimming and cold plunges.
Wildlife thrives here year-round. Pizotes, agoutis, black squirrels, and iguanas appear daily, while howler and white-faced capuchin monkey troops pass through the canopy. The property's immersion in intact jungle ecology makes wildlife encounters an everyday aspect of living here.
**Off-Grid Systems That Actually Work**
The 9 kW Sol-Ark solar array with 20 kW battery storage delivers complete energy autonomy, with municipal grid power available by choice rather than necessity. High-speed internet blankets the entire property, enabling remote work, streaming, and full connectivity within a self-sustaining ecosystem. A solar-powered security system with multi-camera coverage, EV charger, backup water storage, and pressure systems ensure modern comfort without compromise.
**The Main Residence**
Oriented to capture sweeping mountain views and cross-ventilation, the 1-bedroom, 1½-bathroom primary home creates bright, naturally cooled spaces where indoor and outdoor living dissolve into one. Every detail prioritizes comfort, efficiency, and low-maintenance living—equally suited as a couple's primary residence or the hub of a larger estate operation.
**Outdoor Living & Entertainment**
A generous covered pavilion (approximately 495 ft²) anchors outdoor life with built-in kitchen, BBQ, firepit, and extensive lounge zones—functioning as a second living room for extended dinners and gatherings.
Beyond lies a striking natural stone saltwater lap pool (41 ft × 11.5 ft), paired with a shaded poolside pergola (245 ft²) for reading, relaxation, and sunset aperitifs.
**The Guest Casita**
A separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest house (270 ft²) with dedicated storage and independent entrance provides privacy for visitors, family, caretakers, or rental income—without encroaching on the main residence's sanctuary.
**Specialized Work Spaces & Storage**
A charming wood cabin (241 ft²) houses a woodworking shop and wet room, purpose-built for hands-on crafts, mycology experiments, and small-scale production. Additional infrastructure includes a secure bodega (170 ft²), large carport (430 ft²), and climate-controlled storage room (20 ft²) for sensitive equipment and supplies.
**Food Production Infrastructure—Ready to Expand**
The regenerative agriculture setup requires years to recreate from scratch. Two greenhouses—one roofed with irrigation and raised beds (943 ft²), one fully enclosed with climate control, fans, and lighting (323 ft²)—support year-round growing. A covered tree nursery (159 ft²) and dedicated potting/microgreen stations ensure continuous propagation. Four mature fruit orchards, secure chicken coop (150 ft²), and a 4-bay compost station (1 m³ per bay) plus dual-chamber rotating composters complete the closed-loop system.
Two mariola (stingless) beehives provide pollination and honey production.
**What's Currently Growing**
The diversity already in production is extraordinary. Established tree crops span multiple banana varieties, biriba, breadnut, breadfruit, jackfruit, avocado, citrus (tangerine, grapefruit, kaffir lime), coffee, cacao, mango, papaya, fig, coconut, anona, Jamaican allspice, dragon fruit, araza, abiu, rose apple, pomegranate, jaboticaba, canistel, tree tomato, grenadine, galangal, Colombian zapote, cherimoya, and rambutan.
Perennials include roselle, pineapples, cranberry hibiscus, pigeon pea, peppercorns, mulberry, ginger, turmeric, and cassava. The greenhouses have successfully produced tomatoes, arugula, culantro, green onions, multiple chili varieties, butternut squash, cantaloupe, pak choy, kale, cauliflower, cucumber, green beans, peppers, daikon, passion fruit, and diverse culinary and medicinal herbs.
**The Lifestyle, Realized**
This is a turnkey regenerative homestead where systems are proven and heavy lifting is complete. Power, water, internet, food production, and security operate seamlessly from day one. Start mornings harvesting mangoes for breakfast, work from the cabin during business hours, swim laps at midday, and follow the river trail to the waterfall before sunset. Every element reflects the design philosophy of people who actually live this way—an intention visible in every detail.
