Finca Soñada | Chirripo, Rivas, ­ 11904

Property Description

This offering presents a rare combination of lakefront living, river access and mountain views within a 1.3-hectare property in the growing community of Los Angeles de Rivas. The setting feels private and sheltered, yet it is only a short walk to Finca Brinca and close to many of the region’s well-known trailheads. Throughout the property, the landscape opens toward La Amistad International Park, Costa Rica’s largest conservation area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The main home sits above the lake, positioned to capture broad views of the surrounding peaks. Its design is warm, thoughtfully laid out and welcoming, with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms arranged around a central open living area. The kitchen, dining room and living room create a comfortable shared space, anchored by a fireplace that adds a sense of retreat on cool mountain evenings. This area extends to a generous deck with an outdoor bathtub overlooking the lake and the changing light across the valley. A dedicated laundry room is conveniently placed with access to both the main home and the apartment below. The lower-level one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment has its own entrance and a calm, modern interior with an open living room, kitchen, dining area and an office nook. Large doors connect the space to a covered deck facing the lake, giving the apartment strong potential for guest use or rental income. The property offers expansive outdoor areas and a sense of scale rarely available in this part of the valley. A private forest stretches behind the home, acting as a natural buffer and creating a quiet transition toward the river. Near the lake, a sun deck sits beside the water, and a separate covered deck with a small kitchenette provides a flexible outdoor gathering space. Mature trees frame the property, balancing privacy with unobstructed views. Water is supplied by an abundant private mountain spring on the property, offering exceptional purity and reliability. Practical features include a two-car covered carport and a secure enclosed garage for storage. The home sits far back from the public road and is reached through a private gated driveway, giving the entire setting a sense of seclusion while remaining only minutes from the main road and the amenities of Rivas. For buyers seeking a property that blends comfort, natural beauty and income flexibility, with direct access to forest, water and far-reaching mountain views, this home offers a rare opportunity in one of the most desirable valleys of the southern zone.
