Peaceful nature – just 5 minutes from Rise & Waldorf School
Property overview
A 5,591 m² lot in Santa Elena, Playa Verde (General Viejo) borders a year-round creek — locally referred to as the All Year Creek — and includes initial permaculture plantings already established on site, so the land is producing rather than waiting. The lot has public road frontage, electricity, water, and fiber optic internet available. No 4x4 is required for access. It is 5 minutes from the Rise Community and Waldorf School, and 15 minutes from San Isidro del General.
The soil quality here is notably fertile, supporting self-sufficiency, food forest development, and sustainable homesteading from the time of purchase. The existing permaculture plantings demonstrate what the land can sustain and give a new owner a running start rather than a blank slate. Mountain views are open and clear, and the creek adds both practical and aesthetic value to the property year-round.
Santa Elena's microclimate is consistently recognized as one of the most livable in the Pérez Zeledón region: fresh mornings, warm but comfortable daytime temperatures, cool restful nights, and sufficient rainfall to maintain lush greenery without the heavier precipitation of wetter zones. The elevation provides clean mountain air and keeps temperatures enjoyable across every season.
For buyers building a family home, developing a permaculture operation, or looking for a sustainable living property with infrastructure already in place and a school community minutes away, this lot at $121,000 in Santa Elena addresses those priorities directly.
