Why this property

Looking for the perfect blend of nature, comfort and location? Just 5 minutes from San Mateo, and near Higuito, Ecovilla San Mateo, Alegría Village and The Real World School, this serene farm sanctuary offers it all.

Nestled under the shade of a majestic Guanacaste tree, the property is fully fenced and bordered by a year-round clean river, surrounded by mature trees and open green space — a peaceful and private oasis.

The main house opens onto a large covered terrace with a fully equipped open-air kitchen, and a beautiful saltwater pool with wide green views for entertaining and relaxing; the master bathroom is open-air. A separate caretaker or guest house adds a kitchen, living room and cosy porch, ideal for on-site support.

The farm has been organic for over five years with no pesticides used, and its mature trees include mango, avocado, caimito, zapote, banana and mamón. Riverfront access and fertile land leave room for gardening, permaculture or expansion.

About San Mateo

San Mateo is the main town and service center for the surrounding rural communities of the canton. It brings together schools, health services, public institutions and small local businesses, while remaining closely connected to farms, forested hills and the landscapes of the Montes del Aguacate. Roads toward Esparza and the Central Pacific make it an important practical reference point for properties throughout the wider area.
