Key facts
About this property
Cacique is a unique 110-acre property located in the high elevations of San José de Rivas, within Costa Rica's Chirripó Valley. Positioned at approximately 4,000 feet above sea level, this land benefits from a pleasant mountain climate throughout the year, eliminating the need for air conditioning or heating. The property offers expansive views of rainforest valleys, meandering rivers, and the southern highlands of Costa Rica. Almost half of the land is designated as conservation forest, featuring a diverse landscape that includes mature jungle, freshwater springs, waterfalls, caves, fertile soil, and extensive internal trails. The area is home to a variety of native bird species, making it an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts. The Río Chimirol runs along the western edge of the property, providing natural swimming areas and picturesque waterfalls. There are eleven existing plateaus that are prepared for sustainable development. The property comes with an approved water concession for both residential and commercial purposes, and electric service is already in place. Cacique is adjacent to the Los Gigantes Nature Reserve, which features a six-kilometer trail leading to a viewpoint at the mountaintop. Additionally, Chirripó National Park, known for Costa Rica's highest peak, attracts climbers, while La Amistad International Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, safeguards one of the largest conservation areas in Central America. Despite its tranquil environment, the property is conveniently located just 45 minutes from San Isidro de El General, where shopping, healthcare, and daily services are available, and 90 minutes from the Pacific coast. Locally, residents can enjoy morning coffee at a village café, engage in biodynamic farming at Finca Adama, explore pottery at Finca Brunca, and visit the farmers market on Wednesdays. Cacique presents a rare chance to develop a sustainable homestead, eco-retreat, wellness sanctuary, or a hospitality project focused on conservation in one of Costa Rica's most ecologically rich mountain communities.
