Casa del Bosque in the New Tulpá Ridge Development in Matapalo.

Property overview

Designed and built by a well-regarded local builder with deep experience in high-end residential construction, this contemporary three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home sits 20 minutes above San Isidro de El General at 1,250 meters (over 4,000 feet) elevation — where temperatures are ideal year-round and the view across the valley below is genuinely panoramic. The Pacific beaches are about an hour away, making this a workable primary residence or an elevated mountain retreat. Single-level and clean-lined, the home uses expansive glass windows throughout to flood every room with natural light and keep the surrounding landscape visible from wherever you're standing. The master suite includes a walk-in closet with built-in shelving, dual vanities, white granite countertops, A/C, and blackout curtains — though residents note the mountain climate rarely requires the AC. The gourmet kitchen pairs top-of-the-line appliances with fine local cedar cabinetry and opens directly to the living area. Outside, a BBQ terrace surrounded by fruit trees is ready for entertaining. The Monte La Cruz Residential Community provides its own water system. Recently reduced from $485,000 to $450,000.
