Swiss Chalet Estate With Twin Rivers in San José de la Montaña

Barva

Description

Farm Close to Heaven is a remarkable mountain estate nestled in the highlands of San José de la Montaña, Heredia, at approximately 1,875 meters above sea level. This nearly two-hectare property offers a rare combination of natural conservation, modern comfort and panoramic views across the Central Valley with glimpses of the Pacific horizon. The estate is thoughtfully designed with a balance between open gardens, natural forest and living structures. Approximately half the land remains dedicated to conservation, protecting two pristine rivers that frame the property and feed a series of beautiful cascades and streams. Mature native trees create a thriving habitat for abundant wildlife, establishing a genuinely private setting where the sounds of water and birdsong define the atmosphere. At the heart of the property sits a charming Swiss-style chalet offering three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and an open-plan living area featuring a full kitchen, dining space and welcoming fireplace. The home is approached through gardens filled with color, walking paths and small ponds, creating a peaceful transition from the natural forest into the residential spaces. The estate includes a caretaker's house and a separate social pavilion equipped with its own small kitchen, barbecue facilities and guest bathrooms. This versatile space accommodates gatherings of more than twenty people, making it perfect for family retreats, wellness weekends, private celebrations or corporate events. Located within a secure, gated community with well-maintained internal roads, the property feels wonderfully secluded while remaining easily accessible. The international airport is just 16 kilometers away, and central San José approximately 32 kilometers, making this an ideal highland retreat for full-time residency or weekend escapes. The cool mountain climate ensures fresh air year-round, and the elevation provides natural cooling without reliance on air conditioning. This property is ready to serve as a personal sanctuary, a conservation-minded estate, a wellness retreat center, or a multi-generational family compound immersed in natural beauty.
