Los Angeles Estate , Rivas, Perez Zeledon, San Jose

Welcome to the Los Angeles Estate, set in the quiet village of Los Angeles de Rivas, only 30 minutes from the city of San Isidro El General. Sheltered by the foothills of Mount Chirripó, Costa Rica’s highest peak, the property offers a setting defined by elevation, clarity of light, and sweeping mountain views.

At roughly 1,600 meters above sea level, the estate opens to unobstructed vistas of Costa Rica's highest peaks, a perspective found only in this valley. The land spans a harmonious mix of environments, with twenty percent preserved as protected forest that borders La Amistad National Park. The remainder is cleared potrero, well suited for agriculture, reforestation, or carefully considered development. The transition from forested ridge to open pasture creates a natural rhythm across the terrain, allowing each area to feel distinct yet connected.

to Canaan—offer versatility for future planning. A 600-meter internal road reaches elevated viewpoints with long, cinematic mountain panoramas that suggest multiple sites for construction or retreat spaces. Springs and streams weave through the property, contributing to a steady sense of natural abundance. Though wrapped in privacy, the estate remains close to everyday essentials.
