Villa Chirripo

Property overview

Villa Chirripo sits at just over 4,000 feet elevation at the base of Cerro Chirripo—Costa Rica’s highest peak at 3,821 meters—with panoramic views across the Chirripo River valley and the distant lights of Perez Zeledon and Miravalles visible after dark. The mountain spring that feeds the property from above provides fresh water consistently, and the 35,364 m² estate borders thousands of acres of cloud forest and national park land. Daytime temperatures hover around 80 degrees Fahrenheit; evenings are genuinely cool.

The main house includes three primary suites with private terrace access, a gourmet kitchen with backlit Onyx island and double refrigerator-freezer setup, and multiple covered outdoor living areas around a full swimming pool terrace. A separate one-bedroom guest home of approximately 2,500 square feet provides private accommodation for visitors or generates standalone rental income.

A water feature greets arrivals at the carport entrance, flowing through tropical landscaping and a small waterfall before reaching the main building. The gate is secured by both electric clicker and digital code, with only two neighboring properties on a dead-end road above. Privacy at this scale in this setting is uncommon.

San Isidro and all its services are 15 minutes away. Uvita and Dominical are roughly an hour by road—close enough for beach days, far enough that the mountain climate and silence of Rivas feel genuinely remote. For buyers drawn to elevation, national park adjacency, and a self-sustainable lifestyle with strong infrastructure already in place, Villa Chirripo is a singular property.
