Newly Built Mountain Home on 6+ Acres Near Rivas with Buena Vista River Access

This beautiful modern home on just over six acres is ideally located between Rivas and La Bonita in Pérez Zeledón, offering an outstanding combination of privacy, usability, and convenience. Built to American standards and completed in December 2022, the residence showcases quality construction and thoughtful design throughout, all set at a comfortable elevation of approximately 900 meters (just under 3,000 feet) where the climate remains fresh and pleasant year-round.

Inside, the home features impressive vaulted ceilings in the living room and kitchen, creating a bright and open living space. The kitchen is well appointed with top-of-the-line appliances, custom wood cabinetry, and granite countertops, providing both style and functionality. Large double doors with impact-resistant glass open to a spacious covered patio where you can enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valley. From this vantage point, the scenery is truly breathtaking and highlights the peaceful natural setting.

Beyond the homesite, the property gently descends toward the Rio Buena Vista, creating a true nature lover’s environment. A wide internal trail runs from the upper portion of the property down to the river and can be easily navigated on foot, by bicycle, or with an ATV. Two creeks flow year-round through the land, and a natural spring forms a small waterfall during the rainy season, enhancing both the beauty and water resources of the property.

The land is richly planted and well cared for, with numerous mature fruit trees including mango, banana, plantain, sweet lemon, limón, guava, cacao, and water apple. The current owners have also established significant long-term value by planting more than 70 hardwood trees, 55 bamboo plants, and a wide variety of ornamental species. In addition to the existing homesite, the property features multiple flat building areas suitable for future homes, guest houses, or additional structures, offering excellent flexibility for expansion.

Importantly, the lower portion of the property is intersected by a public road where both water and electricity are available nearby, creating further development potential and easier utility access for future projects.

Infrastructure is solid and well planned. A new garage constructed in March 2022 includes a separate secure storage area, and a concrete driveway runs approximately 100 meters from the main road down to the home. The entire perimeter has been fenced with new barbed wire. The property is serviced by water and electricity through its own transformer, with underground wiring running to the house for a clean and reliable setup.

The location is highly convenient. The property sits just five minutes from Rivas and approximately 15 minutes from San Isidro de El General, the commercial and medical hub of southern Costa Rica. Here you will find major supermarkets, both public and private healthcare, banks, restaurants, and even a shopping mall with cinema. San Isidro also hosts the region’s largest farmers market and serves as the primary provisioning center for much of the southern zone.

From the property, drive time is under an hour to the beaches of the Pacific coast and less than 30 minutes to premier outdoor destinations including Cloudbridge Nature Reserve, the trailhead to Cerro Chirripó, and nearby hot springs.

If you are seeking privacy, accessibility, a nearly new home, and abundant room to expand—complete with river access and multiple water features—this versatile property deserves your attention. …Read Less
