Three hundred and sixty acres of rolling hills in the Talamanca mountains with stunning 360-degree views of the entire Valle General below and the primary forests of Chirripo National Park (site of Costa Rica's highest mountain) above make this gorgeous property an excellent site for exclusive estate homes, mini-ranches, a private retreat or an upscale mountain lodge. At 4,200 feet above sea level, half forest and half open land, this scenic property has an ideal climate with warm days and cool nights. The nearest metropolitan area is San Isidro de El General (Perez Zeledon), a town of 100,000 people known for its beautiful women, the hub of the Southern zone and the fastest-growing metropolitan area in Costa Rica.

On the property, just 45 minutes from the Pacific coast, are one major river, seven creeks and a large waterfall. The national park is your backyard, and the lights of San Isidro can be seen at night. There are numerous building sites. The municipal water supply fed by mountain springs to the two small towns in the area - a three-inch water main - runs along the property, and there is access to electricity. The owner offers no-interest financing over two years.
