About This Property
Villa Chirripó rises just above the base of Costa Rica's highest peak at just over 4,000 feet above sea level — an elevation that delivers comfortable days around 80 degrees Fahrenheit and the kind of crisp, cool evenings that make a mountain home feel like exactly that. The Chirripó River valley unfolds below, with views stretching to the confluence of the Chucuyo and Chirripó rivers and, after dark, to the distant lights of Miravalles and Pérez Zeledón twinkling against the mountains.
Arrival sets the tone. A water feature winds from the two-car carport through tropical landscaping, fountains, and a waterfall before delivering you to the villa entrance — a transition from road to residence that feels considered and unhurried. Electric and digitally coded gate access, a dead-end road with only two uphill neighbors, and thousands of acres of cloud forest and Chirripó National Park as the immediate backdrop provide a level of privacy and security that complements the setting.
Inside, the gourmet kitchen anchors the living spaces with a striking backlit onyx island and backsplash, double refrigerator and freezer, and high-end appliances throughout. Three primary suites each open onto private terraces with indoor and outdoor access, creating a natural flow between interior comfort and the surrounding landscape.
A separate one-bedroom guest home of approximately 2,500 square feet adds independent space for visitors or meaningful rental income potential. Multiple covered outdoor living areas and a generous swimming pool terrace surrounded by lush tropical gardens make the outdoors an extension of the home in every season.
A fresh mountain spring supplies the property with clean water from the source, lending the estate a self-sufficient quality well suited to highland living.
San Isidro de El General, the regional hub for banking, medical services, and shopping, is 40 minutes away, and the Pacific coast is within 90 minutes.
