Private Rainforest Villa with Guest House

Property overview

At 2,500 feet above sea level in the Serenity Gardens mountain village, this 2.6-acre property occupies an elevation where the climate is warm but never hot and fresh but never cold — conditions that support one of the most extensive established food forests you'll find accompanying any residential property in the southern zone. The main house is three bedrooms and two baths; one bathroom is semi-outdoor and designed deliberately for connection with the surrounding landscape. The kitchen countertops are elevated for comfort, and all furniture is custom-made from local hardwoods. A guest casita provides a studio layout with a king bed, a custom pull-out queen, a full bathroom, and an outdoor shower. A greenhouse and carport add practical infrastructure. Trails weave through the property to a private path leading directly to the Río Águila — a clear river well-suited for swimming and wading. The food forest is extraordinary in its variety: four types of bananas, citrus, mango, avocado, jackfruit, sapote, starfruit, abiu, ice cream bean, guava, mandarins, water apple, raspberries, mulberry, cacao, durian, mamonchino, anona, papaya, pineapple, cas, passionfruit, taro, yuca, turmeric, sugar cane, and more. A duck pond, tilapia pond, and bees for pollination complete the system. The village's private spring supplies drinking water, a local farmer delivers fresh organic produce, eggs, and cheese weekly, and traditional Costa Rican meals can be ordered from neighboring homes — a self-sustaining community infrastructure that supports real resilience.
