Stunning Property spans 18,000 square meters in Rivas.

Property overview

In San José de Rivas at 1,200 meters above sea level, this 18,000 m² property commands direct views of Chirripó Mountain — Costa Rica's highest peak — with morning light hitting the summit in clear, dramatic fashion from multiple points across the land. The terrain has already been shaped for development: two completed construction platforms and three naturally leveled areas provide a total of five to seven distinct building positions, each with its own sightlines and exposure.

The proximity to the Mirador San José de Rivas — a named viewpoint and active paraglider launch site — adds value on multiple levels. It brings outdoor enthusiasts and visitors through the area regularly, which supports short-term rental demand, and the viewpoint itself is visible from the property. At 1,200 meters, air conditioning is unnecessary year-round, which reduces both construction cost and ongoing operating expense for any residential or hospitality use.

The scale of the property supports 5 to 7 rental units, which creates a pathway to refinancing the investment through income. Alternatively, the site offers ample space for a single large private residence with room for auxiliary structures, gardens, and recreational areas. The property's elevation, the prepared platforms, and the Chirripó views together form an unusually complete package for highland development in the Pérez Zeledón region.
