River's Edge San Francisco de Rivas- Corridor to Chirripó

Property overview

A 10.4-hectare property in the village of San Francisco de Rivas, just off the main road with easy access and genuine riverfront along a meaningful stretch of the Chirripo Valley. The land is largely buildable and the river anchors the setting — you hear it throughout the property. The position is private without being isolated, and the connection to the surrounding area is one of the most practical you'll find at this elevation in the valley.

The Chirripo trailhead — the route to summit Costa Rica's highest peak — is just minutes away. Cloudbridge Nature Reserve and Talamanca Nature Reserve are nearby, along with local cafes, community gathering spaces, and various attractions tied to the outdoor culture that defines this part of the country. San Isidro El General, with full services, markets, hospitals, and commercial infrastructure, is roughly 30 minutes out. Playa Dominical on the Pacific coast is about an hour and a half by road.

With riverfront, solid road access, and a quiet rural setting that connects easily to two distinct regions — the highland valley and the southern Pacific — the property suits a residence, a small retreat operation, or a nature-centered development project. The Chirripo Valley doesn't offer many parcels that combine this amount of buildable land with actual river frontage and this level of accessibility to both the mountains and the coast.
