About This Property
Positioned just off the main road in the village of San Francisco de Rivas, this 10.4-hectare property offers something increasingly difficult to find in the Chirripó Valley — generous, buildable land with genuine river frontage, easy access, and the kind of quiet that lets the sound of moving water set the tone for daily life. The river runs along the property as a constant presence, grounding the setting in the natural rhythm of the highlands while leaving the land itself open and versatile for whatever vision a buyer brings to it.
The location places some of the valley's most compelling destinations within minutes. The trailhead to summit Chirripó, Costa Rica's highest peak, is close at hand, as are Cloud Bridge Nature Reserve and Talamanca Nature Reserve — a private cloud forest conservation area spanning more than 1,600 hectares at the base of the national park. Local cafés, community spaces, and the day-to-day texture of life in the Chirripó highlands are all easily within reach.
The village of Canaan anchors the broader community with its weekend plaza gatherings — volleyball, soccer, children on bikes — and nearby draws including the Butterfly Dome, local mountain eateries, and Kapi Kapi health food store and café. The entire region is held within the embrace of La Amistad Transnational Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Central America's most expansive conservation corridors, and Chirripó National Park, where the country's highest peaks rise above the clouds. San Isidro de El General, the regional center for markets, services, and connections, is 40 minutes away, and the Pacific coast is within 90 minutes.
