A Peaceful Mountain Retreat with Private Lake & River Access

Property overview

Inside the Alexander Skutch Biological Corridor in Monte Carlo, Pérez Zeledón, this 1.8-hectare (4.53-acre) property sits inside one of the region's most protected and biodiverse natural environments. The main structure is a 52 square meter luxury cabin built in solid block with teak wood ceilings and floors, custom Guanacaste furniture, a modern kitchen, cozy living area, spacious bathroom, laundry space, and a bedroom with a dedicated office corner. Fiber optic internet makes remote work a realistic and comfortable option. A recently added 42 square meter deck extends the living space to nearly 90 square meters and connects the cabin directly to the land around it. A private lake sits just steps from the cabin — an unusual feature that adds both quality of life and considerable rental appeal for Airbnb guests seeking something they can't find elsewhere. The Peñas Blancas River, celebrated as one of the cleanest rivers in Pérez Zeledón, runs along the property with multiple natural swimming holes accessible via private trails on the land. Those same trails lead to additional building sites well-suited for cabins, eco-lodges, or guest houses. An upper lot with direct road access adds further development potential. Over 20 varieties of tropical fruit — mango, cacao, tangerine, lemon, and more — are established and producing. Electricity, water, outdoor lighting, and improved road access are all in place. The property is 15 minutes from San Isidro de El General and its full range of services, hospitals, and markets. For buyers looking at the intersection of exceptional natural setting, established infrastructure, and genuine expansion potential, this property is a rare combination.
