Los Angeles Estate | Edge of the Eternal Mountains

Property overview

The Los Angeles Estate sits in the quiet village of Los Angeles de Rivas, 30 minutes from San Isidro El General, sheltered by the foothills of Mount Chirripó — Costa Rica's highest peak. At roughly 1,600 meters above sea level, the property opens to unobstructed panoramic views of the country's highest mountain range, a perspective that is only available from this specific valley. The land spans multiple environments: 20 percent is protected forest bordering La Amistad National Park, and the remainder is open potrero cleared for agriculture, reforestation, or development. The landscape runs from a forested ridge down toward the Río Chirripó, where smooth boulders and gentle waterfalls shape the lower boundary.

Two access points — one through the village of Los Angeles, one from the main road to Canaan — provide planning flexibility. A 600-meter internal road already reaches elevated viewpoints with long mountain panoramas, creating multiple viable construction sites. Springs and streams move through the property throughout the year. Despite the elevation and privacy, daily essentials are close: the village of Canaan is nearby with restaurants, artisan bakeries, and local schools, and San Gerardo — the gateway to Chirripó with hot springs, trailheads, and nature reserves — is not far.

The property's elevation keeps temperatures comfortable year-round without air conditioning. Families with children will find the Waldorf-inspired Escuelita Finca Mia within reach, alongside retreat centers and alternative learning programs that reflect the character of this mountain community. The scale, the La Amistad adjacency, and the Chirripó Valley setting make this a serious holding for conservation, agriculture, or a high-elevation private estate.
