Encanto is a truly magnificent country estate surrounded in all directions by unparalleled natural beauty. Set on a ridge in the center of a bowl of mountains tapering down to the sea, the property capitalizes on cooling ocean breezes funneling through the valley. With only one other house in the whole valley, it is truly an oasis of peace and tranquility, yet only a ten-minute drive to miles of nearly deserted, world-class beach. Both the main house and the guest house are constructed of the highest quality materials. The main house features three spacious bedrooms, four luxurious bathrooms, a generous wrap-around porch perfect for entertaining, a lower-level garage with a secure workshop, and a 30,000-gallon pool with stunning views. The warmth of teak and the flow of the floor plan give the house a welcoming, aesthetic quality that is so often absent in modern construction. The guest house is set 75 meters from the main house via a charming garden pathway, providing complete privacy for both houses. It includes two comfortable bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and an open-air living area. Both houses are constructed of rebar-reinforced concrete blocks, ensuring stability and durability. The property includes 8 acres of rolling pastureland, suitable for agricultural use or additional buildings. Established landscaping flows seamlessly into the surrounding wilderness, making the houses feel as though they’ve always been there. This property is ideally located on the Nicoya Peninsula, one of five world-famous blue zones, where life expectancy is higher than elsewhere. Far from the tourist crowds, it is located halfway between Samara to the north and Santa Teresa to the south. Playa San Miguel is a 10-minute drive and an additional five minutes in the opposite direction brings you to the beach access at Costa de Oro. These exclusive beaches are renowned for their magical estuaries, perfect sunsets, nesting sea turtles, and world-class surfing waves. As yet undiscovered, this area is one of the last remaining stretches of coastline in Costa Rica offering the true pura vida lifestyle. The nearest international airport is 2.5 hours away in Liberia. There is an airstrip for in-country flights 25 minutes away in Punta Islita. Local amenities including bars, restaurants, and a well-stocked grocery store, are only twenty minutes from the property. Encanto stands out for its class, superior construction quality, and unique investment potential. Whether you are seeking a private residence or a valuable rental property, this estate represents a rare opportunity in one of Costa Rica's most beautiful and rapidly developing coastal regions. With its blend of natural beauty, modern amenities, and strategic location, the property offers an unparalleled living experience in a true paradise.
