Location: La Suiza, Costa Rica
Discover an extraordinary off-grid estate nestled high above La Suiza, Turrialba, offering 172 hectares (~425 acres) of private rainforest reserve and mountain wilderness positioned 1,100 to 1,200 meters above sea level. Featuring 360-degree panoramic views of Volcán Turrialba, the surrounding valley, and the Pacuare, Chirripó, and Talamanca mountain ranges, this eco-sanctuary offers complete privacy, natural beauty, and income-generating potential.

The property features two distinctive, handcrafted residences and extensive infrastructure:

The Main Hexagonal Glass Residence ("Penthouse in the Jungle"): An architectural loft-style glass house built with fine Nispero wood, featuring high vaulted ceilings, a cozy central fireplace (chimney), and full commercial restaurant-grade kitchen equipment. Designed with volcanic stone bathrooms, spacious light-filled bedrooms, solar power, and open-plan living areas overlooking the canopy and mountains.

The Rustic Artisan Wood Bungalow ("Bungalow in the Jungle"): A hand-crafted 3-bedroom wooden home positioned at the edge of the rainforest canopy, complete with open-air amenities, gas/wood-burning appliances, solar power, and outdoor verandas.

Outbuildings & Additional Structures: Includes a large 9x9 meter underground garage and a separate secondary structure with high potential to be remodeled into guest cabins, staff quarters, or additional lodge accommodations.

Key Property Features & Land Highlights
Diverse Land & Ecology: 172 hectares total, including 112 hectares of untouched virgin mountain rainforest, approximately 2.5 hectares planted with over thirty 30-foot-tall pine trees (offering commercial timber/money-generating potential), horse-maintained pasture meadows, living fences, and a variety of producing fruit trees.

Water & River Features: Two rivers cross through the property, both featuring private, pristine waterfalls. The property also includes a dedicated tilapia lake and a natural emerald swimming pond fed by pristine mountain sources.

Off-Grid Infrastructure: Solar power systems, propane-assisted utilities, and spring-fed water systems.

Recreational & Commercial Potential: Ideal for an eco-resort, private sanctuary, or retreat center. On-site activities include horseback riding through maintained trails, birdwatching, private fishing, guided hiking to waterfalls, and proximity to world-class white water rafting on the Pacuare River.

Privacy & Access: Located at the end of a private rural road (~6.5 km above La Suiza, 4x4 accessible) with zero pass-through traffic, offering an exclusive mountain climate with warm, pleasant days and cool evenings.

More than just a property, this 172-hectare estate is a rare opportunity to own a private piece of Costa Rica’s natural heritage. Whether envisioned as a world-class eco-resort, an exclusive wellness retreat, or a self-sustaining family sanctuary, this turn-key haven seamlessly blends off-grid luxury, rich natural resources, and limitless potential.
