Large Nature Lot with Creek and Chirripó Mountain Views

Property overview

At 11,259 m² with approximately 95% usable terrain, this property in the hills of Santa Elena, Pérez Zeledón stands out for both its scale and its infrastructure. Electricity, water, and fiber-optic internet are all in place. A creek runs along the edge of the land, carrying fresh water year-round and providing an additional source for gardening or permaculture. The views across the Chirripó mountain range — Costa Rica's highest — frame the property on one side.

The climate at approximately 800 meters above sea level stays comfortable year-round, typically between 20°C and 28°C (68°F to 82°F). The elevation brings cooler evenings and mountain breezes, reducing or eliminating the need for air conditioning while maintaining excellent growing conditions for tropical fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants. The fertile soil in this region is well-suited to a food forest, organic gardens, or a permaculture project. The RISE community and its Waldorf school are about five minutes away — a practical draw for families seeking a conscious, nature-oriented community. San Isidro de El General is 15 minutes out, with large supermarkets, farmers markets, banks, hospitals, pharmacies, restaurants, and a full range of services.

For outdoor access, hiking trails, waterfalls, rivers, and Chirripó National Park are a short drive. The Pacific beaches at Dominical and Uvita are about one hour away. Whether the vision is a private residence, a permaculture farm, or a peaceful retreat, this land in Santa Elena delivers the space, the infrastructure, and the natural setting to support it.
