Why this property
Discover an exceptional lot in the serene Maderal mountains, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the Machuca Valley. Located just minutes from San Mateo, it presents a rare opportunity to build in a tranquil, cooler climate with breathtaking scenery.
The name reflects its elevated position. East-facing, it captures vibrant sunrises over the Machuca Valley mountains, in a landscape of untamed mountain beauty for those seeking a connection with nature. The climate is significantly cooler than San Mateo or Orotina, tempered by refreshing breezes.
Well connected yet wonderfully remote, it offers tranquility without isolation. The area suits outdoor enthusiasts, with beautiful routes for biking and walking and a direct connection across the mountains to San Ramón. Alegría Village is close enough for intentional community life if desired, while privacy is maintained.
An artisanal well is already on the lot. A blank canvas to design a home that captures the essence of Costa Rican mountain living, tailored to your own privacy and aesthetic.
