2.6 Acre Mountain Property In Southern Costa Rica – Private River Access, Spring Water & Food Forest

Discover this 2.6-acre mountain property for sale in Costa Rica’s Southern Zone, set at approximately 2,500 feet in the small, peaceful community of Serenity Gardens. Surrounded by forest and wildlife, it offers a cooler climate, fresh mountain air and expansive views, while remaining close to the coast: about 45 minutes to the Costanera and the beaches of the Southern Pacific, one hour to San Isidro de El General and 20 minutes to Pejibaye. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy true mountain living with easy access to the beach towns, restaurants and services of the Southern Pacific.

Two Independent Living Spaces
The main home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a semi-outdoor bath that keeps you connected to nature. Elevated kitchen countertops add comfort for taller residents, and custom furniture handcrafted from local hardwoods brings warmth and character throughout. Natural airflow and ceiling fans keep the home comfortable year-round with no need for A/C.

A separate guest casita offers studio-style living with a king bed, custom pull-out queen, full bathroom and outdoor shower, ideal for visiting family, guests, multi-generational living or flexible accommodation. A greenhouse/carport with power provides extra space for vehicles, gardening and projects.

Private River, Trails and Food Forest
The land is the heart of this property. Walking trails wind through mature and young trees, past scenic lookouts and down to your private access to Río Águila, where clear waters create a natural swimming hole steps from your door. The established food forest and orchard produces bananas, mango, avocado, citrus, cacao, jackfruit, durian, papaya, pineapple, passionfruit, starfruit, raspberries, root crops and medicinal plants. A tilapia pond, duck pond, on-site bees, seasonal springs and a flat grassy area for play or future expansion complete the grounds. Toucans, monkeys and countless birds are frequent visitors, and a fire pit invites stargazing under clear mountain skies.

Abundant Water and Modern Comforts
Pure drinking water is supplied by both a private spring and the community water system, with backup rainwater catchment for added resilience. Fast internet and reliable utilities make this home well suited for remote work and full-time living. A local farmer delivers organic produce, eggs, cheese and other farm goods weekly, and traditional Costa Rican meals can be ordered nearby. Shared community expenses are only about $600 per year, covering road maintenance, water system upkeep, garbage collection and shared land taxes.

Whether you are planning a relocation to Costa Rica, a private mountain retreat, a multi-generational home or a regenerative homestead, this Southern Zone property with river access offers a rare blend of nature, privacy, water security and convenience. Schedule your visit today.
