2.6-Acre Mountain Property in Southern Costa Rica – Private River Access, Spring Water & Food Forest

Located within Serenity Gardens, a small mountain community surrounded by forest and wildlife, the property combines privacy, abundant high-quality water, productive land and two independent living spaces. It features private access to Río Águila, pure spring drinking water, an established food forest and orchard, a three-bedroom main home and an independent guest casita.

The main home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a semi-outdoor bath designed to maintain a close connection with nature. Elevated countertops provide additional comfort, while custom furniture crafted from local hardwoods adds warmth and character throughout the home.

A separate guest casita provides an independent studio-style living space with a king bed, custom pull-out queen, full bathroom and outdoor shower — ideal for visiting family, guests, multi-generational living or additional flexible accommodation. A greenhouse/carport provides additional space for gardening, vehicles and projects.

The land is one of the property’s strongest features. Walking trails move through mature and young trees, scenic viewpoints and down to the private river access, where the clear waters of Río Águila provide a natural place for swimming and relaxing.

An established food forest and orchard produces bananas, citrus, mango, avocado, jackfruit, cacao, durian, papaya, pineapple, passionfruit, root crops, medicinal plants and more. A duck pond, tilapia pond, on-site bees, seasonal springsand backup rainwater catchment further support a productive and resilient lifestyle.

Pure drinking water is supplied by both a private spring and the community water system. A local farmer delivers organic produce, eggs, cheese and other farm goods weekly, while traditional Costa Rican meals can also be ordered locally. Shared community expenses are approximately $600 per year, covering road maintenance, water system upkeep, garbage collection and shared land taxes.

Fast internet and reliable utilities make the property suitable for both full-time living and remote work.

The combination of mountain views, private river access, cooler temperatures, abundant water, productive land and two independent living spaces makes the property especially well suited for nature-oriented living, long-term relocation, multi-generational use, a private retreat or a regenerative lifestyle in Southern Costa Rica.
