About This Property
Few properties in the Chirripó highlands can claim the scale, diversity, and sheer possibility of the Los Angeles Estate. Set at approximately 1,600 meters above sea level in the village of Los Angeles de Rivas, this expansive holding unfolds from a forested mountaintop all the way down to the banks of the Río Chirripó, where sun-warmed boulders and cascading waterfalls mark the lower boundary of the land. From nearly every vantage point, the views reach toward El Urán and Ventisqueros — the second and third highest peaks in Costa Rica — a perspective available only from this particular corner of the mountains.
The estate balances conservation and development potential with unusual elegance. Twenty percent of the land is designated protected forest, sharing a boundary directly with Chirripó National Park, while the remaining portion consists of cleared potrero suitable for agriculture, development, or a thoughtful combination of both. Two entry points — one through Los Angeles village and one off the main road to Canaan — provide flexibility, and a 600-meter interior road climbs to elevated areas with panoramic mountain views and multiple promising building sites. Natural springs and streams move through the property year-round, adding both beauty and practical value to the land.
The surrounding community is part of what makes this region so compelling. The village of Canaan, just minutes away, pulses with highland life — families gathering on the plaza each weekend for volleyball, soccer, and kids on bikes, with the Butterfly Dome, local mountain eateries, and Kapi Kapi health food store and café all nearby. San Gerardo, the gateway to Chirripó, is close at hand as well, bringing with it nature reserves, the Waldorf-inspired Escuelita Finca Mia, retreat centers, and a growing community of people drawn to an intentional way of living. The entire region is embraced by La Amistad Transnational Park, one of Central America's largest conservation areas and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Chirripó National Park, where Costa Rica's highest peaks rise above the clouds.
Offered at $6,000,000 with subdivision options, the Los Angeles Estate is a rare opportunity for discerning investors or visionaries seeking a legacy holding in one of the most extraordinary highland landscapes in Central America. San Isidro de El General is 40 minutes away, and the Pacific coast is within 90 minutes.
