Description
Rooted in Serenity — 7.63 acres of pristine mountain land where pure water flows, wildlife thrives, and self-reliance is not just possible, but woven into the very design of the property.
Perched at 2,500 feet in the harmonious mountain village of Serenity Gardens, this sanctuary offers a perfect year-round climate — warm but never hot, fresh but never cold — ideal for abundant food production and comfortable living. Pure mountain water flows from both a private spring and the village source, ensuring an abundant supply year-round. A modern hydroelectric system and solar panels provide full off-grid living, while grid connection and generator backup offer additional energy security.
At the heart of the property, a breathtaking 30-foot waterfall spills into your private river, crossed by a pedestrian suspension bridge. Multiple serene ponds reflect the sky, and established hiking trails wind through fertile gardens, mature fruit orchards, and five acres of thriving reforestation — now in its third year — planted with over 1,000 native trees from 13 species to restore vital wildlife corridors.
Structures include:
– Main home: 2,300 sq ft, 2 bed / 1 bath, remodeled in 2022, with direct waterfall views, jacuzzi, dry room, and an open-air chef’s kitchen. Equipped with a Cuisinart Gallery Collection oven with multifunction capabilities including steam bake, air fry, and convection bake, plus a 4-burner induction cooktop and propane grill. Additional café kitchen on the main floor.
– Guest home: 1 bed / 1 bath, remodeled in 2022.
– Creative studio: 1 bath, built in 2022 beside the pond, currently an art studio.
– Workshop with attached greenhouse: perfect for homesteading, agriculture, or creative projects.
Additional home sites are ready for expansion — ideal for family, rental income, or retreat facilities.
Mature producing fruit includes manzana de agua, sweet and sour mandarins, sweet oranges, mango, papaya, starfruit, soursop, guava, jackfruit, mamones, caimito abui, messina lemon, caviar lime, red banana, finger banana, yellow sweet banana, cacao, lemondrop mangosteen, miracle fruit, and fig.
New plantings include dragon fruit (red and white), nutmeg, cacao, vanilla, jaboticaba cherry, neem, brunei olive, cinnamon, pomegranate, red orange, juice orange, and more — ensuring year-round harvests and rare tropical specialties.
Life here is peaceful, secure, and deeply connected to nature. The soundtrack is birdsong, howler monkeys, frogs, and the constant music of flowing water. A local farmer delivers fresh organic produce, eggs, cheese, and other farm products weekly to your door — and traditional Costa Rican meals can be ordered from neighboring Tico families. Shared community expenses are just $600/year, covering water system maintenance, road upkeep, garbage collection, and shared land taxes, leaving you free to focus on your vision and enjoy the present.
Located just 45 minutes from both the Pacific Coast and San Isidro, this property offers privacy without isolation. Whether you dream of a family estate, multi-family homestead, or a personal sanctuary, this is more than real estate — it’s a living ecosystem, a refuge for the soul, and a foundation for a lasting future.
