6.6-Acre Mountain Estate with House, Waterfall & Private Swimming Hole – Villa Nueva, Pérez Zeledón

Discover a truly special property in El Silencio, Villa Nueva, located approximately 8 km from downtown Pérez Zeledón. This expansive 26,712 m² (6.6-acre) property combines privacy, fertile land, abundant tropical vegetation, beautiful mountain views, and its own creek with a waterfall and natural swimming hole.

The 180 m² main house is strategically positioned at the highest point of the property, allowing it to capture refreshing breezes throughout most of the day while offering wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

The home was designed around large open spaces, high ceilings, abundant natural light, and excellent natural cross-ventilation. Quality local hardwoods—including teak, cedar, and Guanacaste wood—were used throughout the house, giving the property a warm and distinctive character.

Additional Basement Spaces

One room was planned as a cheese-making/storage room and does not have a window. A second room has a window and could be converted into a separate rental apartment. The third room already has plumbing connections for a toilet and sink, allowing it to be converted into an additional half bathroom or shower.

Excellent Development Potential

A designated area has already been planned for a swimming pool, as well as an area that could be developed into a rancho/outdoor entertaining area or an additional cabin.

The size of the property allows the new owner to expand the existing estate while maintaining plenty of privacy and natural surroundings. There is potential to add guest cabins, rental units, a swimming pool, outdoor entertaining areas, additional agricultural projects, or other structures, depending on the buyer’s vision and applicable permits.

This makes the property particularly attractive not only as a private residence, but also as a family compound, vacation retreat, rental property, or boutique tourism project.
