Whimsical Mountain Home In The Heart Of The Chirripo Valley

Located in Los Angeles de Rivas, in the heart of the Chirripó region, this whimsical mountain home is set within one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after highland landscapes. Expansive mountain views define the setting, with Parque Internacional La Amistad forming the home’s natural backdrop. As Costa Rica’s largest conservation area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park brings a lasting sense of scale, protection, and visual depth to the property.

The home is private and well positioned for family living, while remaining close to many of the area’s most valued attractions. Within a short distance are the trailhead to Costa Rica’s highest peak, Cerro Chirripó, Kapi Kapi restaurant and health food store, Finca Brinca Pottery Studio, and a range of cultural and outdoor destinations that define daily life in the valley.

Architecturally, the home is thoughtfully designed with a warm and
expressive use of Costa Rican hardwoods throughout. The primary bedroom has been recently upgraded and now includes an en suite bathroom with a bathtub, adding comfort and functionality. Two additional bedrooms each feature attached lofts, offering flexible sleeping arrangements well suited for families or guests.

Every area of the home opens to mountain views, oriented either toward Piedra de Canaan, the highest hill in the valley, or toward the protected forest of La Amistad. A detached studio has also been recently upgraded to include a full bathroom and offers a versatile space for events, a gym, or a children’s play area. The carport includes a secure, enclosed garage providing ample storage.

The home sits within a larger farm setting, with the option to incorporate additional land into a future purchase, allowing for flexibility and long-term vision in an exceptional mountain environment.
